Mood Board Maker
Put a project's photos, colors and a few words on one board: a Pinterest board you can hand to a client, a teammate or a printer as one image. Your photos never leave your device.
Mood board4 sample photos · 3 notes · 4 colors · Pin, 1000×1500
These are sample photos. Add yours and they take their places.
Drag the photo to choose which part of it shows.
Quick answer: add a project's photos, type a few notes on the feel you are after, add its colors as HEX codes (or pick them), then choose a layout, a background and a size. Download the board as a 1000×1500 pin, a 1920×1080 image for a slide or a desktop, or a page to print on US Letter or A4. It's free, with no account and no watermark. Your photos are never uploaded.
What a mood board is for
A mood board puts the look and feel of a project on one page before anything is made: a brand, a website, a room, a wedding, a shoot or an outfit. Words like "warm but modern" mean different things to different people. A board shows it. Designers use one to agree on a direction with a client before the real work starts. Marketers use one to keep a season's pins, photos and posts looking like one brand. A Pinterest board is a mood board already. This tool turns one into a single image you can send, present or print.
How to make one here
- Add your photos: up to nine. Your own photos, product shots or pictures you have permission to use. The board starts with sample photos to show the layout; yours replace them.
- Add notes: a few words each, like the light, the materials or the mood. Keep them short so they read at a glance.
- Add colors: type HEX codes, or use Add a color. To take the colors from a photo, the color palette tool pulls them out, with their codes.
- Arrange it: tap a photo to move, replace or remove it, and drag it to choose which part shows. Pinboard lays the photos out in columns at their own heights, the way a Pinterest board does. Grid and Collage are tidier for a presentation.
- Download or print it. The 16:9 size drops straight into a slide deck. Pin size is ready to save to Pinterest.
Making the board say one thing
A good mood board is more about what you leave out than what you add. Four to eight photos that clearly belong together say more than twenty that nearly do. Keep the color strip short, three to five colors with one clear accent, and make sure the photos actually contain those colors. Write the notes as instructions someone could follow ("matte, not glossy"; "daylight, no flash") rather than adjectives. When the board is for a client, send the image together with one sentence on what it is deciding.
Where the pictures come from
Your own photos are safest. For inspiration, Pinterest is where most people collect it: save pins to a board, then use the images you have rights to. A mood board you only share inside your team is a working document. If you publish it, the photos need to be yours or licensed, because other people's pictures belong to them.
