Point at any link, button, search box or menu item and a small irregular mosaic of emoji fades in behind the text. It never covers the words, it works on every site, and your cursor stays exactly as it is.

Irregular Hover Highlighter is a free Chrome extension from the same workshop as this converter. Switch it on and hovering anything — a link, a button, a search box, a menu item — fades a small mosaic of emoji in behind the text, where it decorates without ever getting in the way of reading.
It is deliberately small: nothing to sign up for, nothing sent anywhere, and a single switch to turn it off again.

How to install it
It is a normal Chrome Web Store install — nothing to download by hand and nothing to configure.
Open the listingUse the button on this page. It opens the extension on the Chrome Web Store in a new tab.
Add to ChromePress “Add to Chrome”, then confirm in the small dialog Chrome shows you.
Pin it and switch it onOpen the puzzle-piece menu in the toolbar and pin the extension, then click its icon and flip the switch on. Hover anything on any page.
Choose which emoji appear from a curated set, or clear them and upload a PNG of your own — a logo, a mascot, anything. Images you add are resized on your device.
Tune it to taste
Stamp size from 8 to 50 pixels, density from sparse to tight, opacity from barely there to solid — with a live preview, so you see the result before you hover a real page.
Private by design
No network requests, no data collection, no account and no ads. Every setting, including any icon you upload, stays in your browser and never leaves your device.
Questions about the extension
Does it cost anything?
No. It is free on the Chrome Web Store, and so is the converter on this site.
Which browsers can run it?
Chrome and the other Chromium-based browsers that can install from the Chrome Web Store, such as Edge, Brave and Opera.
Does it change my mouse cursor?
No. Your cursor is untouched. This is not a custom-cursor extension: the mosaic appears behind the text of whatever you point at, and fades away the moment you move off.
The mosaic is drawn only while you are hovering, and nothing about the page is changed permanently. Switch the extension off from its toolbar icon at any time and pages behave exactly as before.
How do I remove it?
Right-click its icon in the Chrome toolbar and choose Remove from Chrome. Nothing is left behind.
Already have your image?
Skip straight to the converter and turn it into a transparent PNG in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
