Lenny Face Generator — Build Your Own ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

A lenny face generator builds a face from parts rather than picking one from a list. That matters if you want something nobody else is using — the combinations here run into the millions, and almost none of them appear on any collection page.

The four parts, and what each does

**Eyes** carry the emotion, and they are the fastest thing to choose first. ◕ reads friendly, ಠ disapproving, ⊙ surprised, ╥ tearful.

**Mouth** sets intensity. ‿ is a mild smile, ▽ a wide one, 益 is rage.

**Frame** sets the register — round brackets are neutral, square read as mechanical, ʕ ʔ read as ears.

**Arms** decide movement, and they are what make a face wide. No arms means still; ヽ ノ means celebrating; づ means reaching toward you.

A common mistake is pairing intense eyes with an intense mouth, which reads as shouting. The faces that work keep one element quiet.

Presets and moods

If you would rather start from something, the mood filter narrows the parts to a feeling, and 28 presets give you a complete face to adjust rather than a blank slate.

Undo and redo are available, so experimenting costs nothing, and anything you like can be saved to favourites.

Before you use one

Two checks worth making. Test a face you built on a phone before putting it in a bio — rare characters render as empty boxes on some older Android devices, and desktop is far more forgiving.

And if the face contains a backslash, double it before posting to Discord or Reddit, or markdown will eat it.

For ready-made faces see all lenny faces, for the searchable set the kaomoji keyboard, and for what the original means lenny face meaning.

How many combinations are there?

Over six million from the parts on this page, before accessories. That is the point of building rather than browsing: any face you assemble is almost certainly unique, where a face copied from a list is being used by everyone else who found the same list.
