What is an online mood board maker?

It is a browser-based canvas for arranging images, text, video, and documents into a visual direction. ContactSheetMaker gives you freeform control rather than locking your ideas into a collage template.

Which plan includes mood boards?

Pro includes unlimited mood boards, canvas editing, mixed-media layers, image styling, storage, and PNG export. Ultimate includes everything in Pro plus client share links, password protection, and canvas comments.

Can clients view a board without an account?

Yes. Ultimate share links open in a modern browser without requiring a client account. You can also password-protect unreleased work.

What can I add to a mood board?

You can add common image formats, video files, PDF pages, and styled text layers, then arrange and edit them together on the canvas.

How is this different from a contact sheet?

A contact sheet uses a structured photo grid for review and selection. A mood board is a freeform composition for visual direction, inspiration, and presentation.

Product features

A serious canvas for creative direction

Scan the essentials, then explore the full set when you need more detail.

A canvas, not a template

Move, resize, rotate, and layer every element freely. Use snap-to-grid when precision matters, or keep the composition loose while ideas are still forming.

Mixed-media direction

Combine images, playable video, PDF pages, and styled text on the same board so the whole creative brief lives in one visual space.

Image finishing built in

Apply masks, borders, corner radius, opacity, and colour adjustments directly on the canvas instead of preparing every asset elsewhere.

Presentation-ready output

Export a high-resolution PNG for decks and handoffs, with zoom and fit controls for presenting the board live.

Private client links

Ultimate adds browser-based share links with optional password protection. Clients can view the work without creating an account.

Feedback in context

Ultimate also adds pinned canvas comments and threaded replies, keeping decisions beside the visual instead of buried in email.
