References gathered into one picture
A board of up to 16 references
Add the photos that define the mood, up to 16 of them. A smaller set is often clearer: six fabrics, eight travel frames, four products and the places they live. Single mode keeps every image on one canvas, so the download is the board itself. Arrange them so the eye has a place to start. A mixed grid gives some cells more room, which is how you let one photo lead. Shaped cells, including circle, heart, and diamond, clip a photo into a silhouette when you want the board to feel softer than a strict table. Preview the whole frame before you commit, and replace any picture that fights the rest.
Frame, gap, and background
Pick 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9 for the finished picture. A square is easy to post. A 4:5 frame gives the photos a taller stack. A 16:9 frame suits a wide banner or a slide-like still of the mood. The gap starts at 8, a slim breath between images, and you can change it if the board feels crowded or sparse. The background starts white, which lets colorful photos read cleanly, and you can change that too when a darker or tinted field suits the set. These two choices, gap and background, are yours. Look at the board after you change them, because a wider gap can calm a busy set of patterns.
One JPG or PNG of the whole board
Export a single JPG or a single PNG. That one picture is the deliverable: a board of references someone can open without unpacking a stack of files. JPG is a natural choice for a photo-heavy board you will attach or upload. PNG is a natural choice when you want the board as a PNG. The build stays local, so you can rearrange, change the aspect, and export again until the picture matches the mood you meant. Name the file after the project. Then send that one image. People looking at it should feel the direction of the work in a glance, which is what a mood board is for.
How it works
- 1
Add the reference photos
Bring up to 16 images that belong together. Leave out the extras. This mode builds one board, so every photo you add will sit in the same picture.
- 2
Choose a layout, an aspect, a gap, and a background
Use a mixed grid or shaped cells such as circle, heart, and diamond. Set the frame to 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9. Gap starts at 8 and the background starts white, and you can change both.
- 3
Download one JPG or PNG
Export a single picture of the whole board. The work stays in the browser. Open the file and confirm the lead photo and the colors still say what you meant.
Use cases
A room or a wardrobe direction
Gather fabrics, colors, and a few scenes into one board. A square or a 4:5 frame is easy to send to the person making the decision with you.
A brand mood in one image
Put the photos that define the tone into a grid, set the background, and export one PNG or JPG a teammate can open immediately.
A personal pinboard
Circle, heart, or diamond cells make a softer board of places and objects. Download the single picture and keep it with the project notes.
Problems we solve
The board feels crowded
Widen the gap from the starting value of 8, or remove a photo until the lead image can breathe. Sixteen images is the ceiling, and fewer often read more clearly.
One photo fights the rest
Swap the loud picture or give it a smaller cell. A mood board works when the set agrees. Preview the whole frame, then export the JPG or PNG.

Trust & technology
Built locally
The collage runs in the browser. You arrange up to 16 photos, change the gap and the background, and download when the board looks right.
One picture out
The export is a single JPG or PNG of the board. You share that file as the mood, with every reference already placed.
