Emojis Files Too Big

[om-ha]

Good day!

We have purchased premium license of JoyPixels (EmojiOne) version 5 and incorporating your emojis in our iOS and Android app.

A problem is that natively-supported formats of JoyPixels are too big to include.

Unsupported Natively:

SVG format: 25MB
Sprites (.SVG): 22MB

Supported Natively:

PNG format: 101MB too big to include in the app.
Font (.TTC): 42MB a bit big to include in the app but possible.

What do you recommend we use and how to use it? maybe you have best practices considering you're the authors of JoyPixels, in addition to incorporating said emojis in your in-house messaging app.

We aim for high resolution formats since we're going to resize (enlarge) the emojis to be almost as big as the width of the screen -- our use case is image editing where we apply emojis to images (via UIImage) and re-positioning/resizing them.

According to the above, our first intuition goes for Font format (.TTC).

@om-ha how has your implementation been going for this? For our iMessage app that you mention we use 256px PNG files which ends up being about 34MB, but of course our output wouldn't be nearly the size of yours. The font file goes up to 160px PNG I believe, so scaling those up would still present a quality issue.
