The short answer
Why use Add Emoji?
Phone markup tools add emoji as stickers you have to place and resize by hand each time. Here the size and corner stay the same, so a set of photos gets matching stamps.
Type or paste emoji into the Text box; it starts with a single sparkle. Text size runs from 10 to 180 and starts at 42. The size is scaled to the photo, as if its longest side were 1400 pixels, so 42 looks about the same on a small screenshot and a large camera photo. A row that would be wider than the image shrinks to fit.
The emoji always sits in the bottom-right corner, right-aligned. Emoji keep their own colors, so Text color only changes plain letters you type next to them. Because the glyphs come from your device's font, an emoji that your system does not know may show up as an empty box. Check the preview before you save.
Add Text to Image uses the same corner and size controls for words. Add Watermark is the choice for a name or copyright line. If you want an emoji on every frame of an animation, type it into Add Text to GIF instead. To mark a spot with a pointer rather than a symbol, Add Arrow draws a straight arrow.
