A mood board collects the images that define a look or a feeling: the textures, colors, rooms, outfits and details you want a project to have. Designers use them to brief clients, bloggers post them as inspiration pins, and planners use them to keep a wedding, a room makeover or a brand refresh on track.
This maker lays your photos out in an even grid, reads the dominant colors across all of them and prints a five color palette with hex codes along the bottom. It runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded anywhere.
How the color palette is picked
Each photo is shrunk to a small sample, similar colors are grouped together, and the most common groups across all photos are kept as long as they are clearly different from each other. The five results are sorted from light to dark so the strip reads smoothly.
Because the palette follows the photos, the quickest way to steer it is to choose images that share a color story. If a single bright photo pulls the palette off course, remove it or swap it for a calmer shot. For a palette from one image only, try the pin color palette extractor.
Tips for a mood board that reads well on a phone
Six to nine photos is the sweet spot. Fewer looks sparse, more turns into tiny tiles nobody can read. Mix a few wide shots with close-up textures so the board has depth, and keep one subject or room per board.
Make the title the search phrase people would type, such as "Coastal Living Room Ideas" or "Autumn Wedding Colors". For goal-based boards use the vision board maker, and for clothing the outfit collage maker.
