Create a mood board

What a mood board is for

A mood board gathers a set of images into one visual so a look or idea becomes easy to see and share. Designers, planners and creators use them to lock in a direction before committing time or budget, whether that is an interior palette, an outfit story, a brand feel or an event theme. Instead of scattered screenshots, you get a single board you can present or send.

What you can build

How to make a mood board

  1. Add your inspiration images and references.
  2. Choose a mosaic layout for order, or free placement for a scrapbook feel.
  3. Place one strong image as the anchor, then arrange the rest around it.
  4. Set spacing and a background color that matches the mood.
  5. Download the finished board as PNG, JPG or WebP.

Mood board layout tips

Start with a single hero image that sets the tone, then add supporting textures, colors and details so the eye has somewhere to land first. Use wider spacing and a soft background for calm, editorial boards; tighten the spacing for an energetic, dense look. Keeping a consistent color temperature across your images makes the whole board feel intentional.

Your own photos, kept private

This mood board maker is built around the images you already have, not a stock library or AI generator. That keeps it fast and, more importantly, private: your references are arranged locally in your browser and are never uploaded or stored. It is ideal for client work and early concepts you do not want sitting on someone else's server.

For planning and sharing

A downloaded board drops neatly into a slide deck, a client email or a shared chat, and works as a reference you can keep beside you while a project takes shape.

Mood board ideas by project

For an interior board, mix wide room shots with close-ups of materials, colors and small details so the palette is clear. For a fashion board, pair full outfits with fabric and accessory close-ups. For a brand board, group logos, type samples and reference photography that share a tone. For a wedding or event, combine venue, florals, colors and styling into one page you can send to everyone involved. The layout adapts to how many images you add, so the board stays balanced whether you use four references or twelve.

From inspiration to a shareable board

Collect the images that already speak to your idea, drop them in, and arrange them until the story is clear at a glance. Export a high-resolution board and it is ready for a deck, a client email or a shared chat, with no account and no watermark to get in the way.

Labels, borders and export formats

Add a short label or title to your board with the text tool: drag it into place, set the size and colour, and it exports with the board. Frame individual references with a coloured border when you want a cleaner separation between textures and photos. Export as PNG for the sharpest result in a deck, JPG for email, or WebP for a smaller file. Portrait 4:5 and square 1:1 work well for sharing; A4 portrait suits a printable reference sheet.

Mood board FAQ

What is a mood board used for?

A mood board collects images, colours and textures into one visual so you can define and share a look for interiors, fashion, branding, events and creative projects before you commit time or budget.

Does it include a stock image library?

No. This tool builds a board from your own photos and saved references, which keeps it fast and completely private. You bring the images; the tool arranges them.

Can I add labels or captions to a mood board?

Yes. Add text, drag it anywhere on the board, and set its size, colour and bold style. The label is included in the downloaded image, which is useful for project titles, dates or client names.

Can I add borders around references?

Yes. Set the border width and colour to frame each image, which helps separate busy textures and gives the board a cleaner, more editorial look.

Should I use mosaic layout or free placement?

Mosaic keeps references aligned and easy to scan, which suits client presentations and planning boards. Free placement lets images overlap and tilt for a scrapbook or inspiration-wall feel. You can switch without losing your photos.

How many images can I add?

Up to 12, with layouts that adapt to how many you use so the board stays balanced whether you have four references or a full photo wall.

Is it free and private?

Yes. It is free with no watermark, and your images are arranged locally in your browser without being uploaded or stored.

What format should I export, and can I print the board?

Export as PNG, JPG or WebP at full resolution. PNG is best for sharp text and printing; JPG and WebP are smaller for email and chat. Choose A4 portrait for a printable reference sheet.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser, with a shortcut bar for adding photos, opening layouts, adjusting tools and saving the board from a phone.
