Building your mood board

The editor opens with a mood board template: image cells, a title and space for keywords and colors. Drop in your images (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or iPhone HEIC) and auto-fill places them.

Pick from more than 150 layouts made for the number of images you add, from tidy grids and mosaics to scattered polaroids for a pinned-to-the-wall look. Drag an image onto another cell to swap them, and pan or zoom inside a cell to show the right detail. For complete freedom, switch to the free layout mode and move, rotate and resize each image by hand, like cutouts on a corkboard.

Add a title, short keyword labels with a highlight background, arrows, and recolorable stickers such as labels and flowers.

To pull a board together, give every image the same filter (warm, fade or vintage), or use the brightness and saturation sliders to bring mismatched photos closer. Rounded corners and a little spacing make a busy board easier to scan, while zero spacing gives a dense, collage-like feel.

Adding a color palette

A palette turns a board into something people can act on. Add a row of circles or squares from the shapes panel and set each one to a color from your images. To find the exact color in a photo, use the color picker; to build a harmonious set around one color, try the color palette generator. Then add a small text label with each HEX code, such as #4F6D5A, so designers, decorators and printers can match it.

Save the final colors in the brand kit, which keeps them in your browser. Later, apply brand colors recolors any other template with them in one click, which is useful when the mood board turns into a real brand, a wedding suite or an event poster.

Who uses mood boards

A mood board collects images, colors and words that capture a feeling or direction before the real work starts.

  • Interior design and home projects: furniture, materials, paint colors and lighting for a room.
  • Weddings and events: flowers, attire, table settings and colors to share with vendors.
  • Branding and graphic design: typography, photo style and palette for a brand or campaign.
  • Fashion and styling: outfits, textures and seasonal colors.
  • Photo and video shoots: lighting, poses, locations and color grading references.

A single image is easier to share with a client, partner or contractor than a long list of links.

Tips for a strong mood board

  • Be selective. Six to twelve strong images say more than thirty mixed ones.
  • Mix scales: a wide room shot, a texture close-up, a material detail.
  • Keep the light consistent, or apply one filter to every image so the board feels unified.
  • Use a neutral background such as warm off-white so the images stand out, or dark for a moody look.
  • Label the direction with three to six keywords: linen, oak, warm light, calm.
  • Make two boards if you are torn between two directions, and compare them side by side.
  • Respect copyright when sharing publicly; inspiration images often belong to someone else.

Download and privacy

Download a JPG for sharing, a PNG for the sharpest result, or a PDF for printing or attaching to a proposal. Save the project file to keep editing later or on another device; your work also saves automatically in the browser.

Your images are arranged and exported on your device and never uploaded. For a simple grid of your own photos, the collage maker is a faster start.
