A moodboard is a board of pictures you put together for one job: the light you have in mind, the poses, the details, the colours. You share it with your client, they tell you what they love right on the photos, and you both start the shoot with the same picture in your heads.

Every moodboard belongs to a project, so you always know which job it is for. This guide shows you how to create one, fill it with photos, share it and read your client's comments.

Create a moodboard

You can start from the project or from the list of all your moodboards.

From a project: open the project and, in the Journey, press New moodboard on the Moodboard row. The board is created and opens right away.
From the list: go to Apps in the left bar, open Moodboards and press New moodboard. Pick the Project, give it a Name and press Create.

To rename the board, click its name at the top of the page and type. Everything you do on a moodboard is saved on its own: you'll see Saved at the top right.

Add your photos

The big grid in the middle is the canvas. Put your photos there.

Select the photos on your computer and drag them onto the canvas. They land where you let go.
Or press the photo button on the left side of the canvas (Choose from library) to pick photos you've already uploaded to Mosaii.co.
Wait a moment while they upload. Each photo keeps its own shape: a portrait stays tall, a landscape stays wide.

Tip: you can drop up to 20 photos at a time (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or SVG, up to 10 MB each).

Want to explain what you mean? Press the T button on the left (Add Text) and write a short note, like “warm light, film look” or “no posed group photos”.

Arrange the board

Move: click a photo and drag it where you want it.
Resize: drag one of its corners. Make your favourite references bigger: big means important. If a photo ever looks stretched, double-click its bottom-right corner to bring back its original shape.
Select several: hold Shift while you click, or drag a box around them on the empty canvas. Then use Arrange to line them up, spread them evenly or let Auto arrange tidy them into a grid.
Layers: when photos overlap, use Bring to front or Send to back in the small bar that appears on the selected photo.
Lock: press Lock so a photo can't move by mistake.
Remove: select it and press Delete on your keyboard, or use the bin in its small bar.

To look around a big board, scroll to zoom and right-click and drag to move. The ? button at the top right lists all the shortcuts.

Tip: open Settings above the canvas to show the grid, make photos snap to it, change the grid size or pick a background colour for the board.

Share it with your client

A new moodboard is a Draft: only you can see it. When it's ready:

Press Send to client at the top right.
Choose how:
- By email — Mosaii.co sends it to your client's email. You can change the subject and the message before sending.
- Copy the link — you send it yourself, on WhatsApp or anywhere.
- Add to portal — it shows up in your client's private portal with a notification, without an email.
The label next to the name changes from Draft to Shared.

Add to portal needs a client linked to the project. Learn what your client sees in Client Portal.

Read your client's feedback

Your client opens the board from the link or from their portal. They can zoom in, look around and leave comments. To talk about one photo, they press Comment on item, click the photo, write and press Post comment. A numbered pin appears on the photo, right where they clicked.

On your side, press the round comments button at the bottom right of the board. A number on it tells you how many new comments are waiting. Click the photo chip on a comment to see only the comments about that photo, and write your reply at the bottom.

Export, archive or delete

Export (above the canvas) saves the board as a PDF. Choose the page size and Scale to fit to keep everything on the page.
Archive, in the ··· menu at the top right, puts away a board you don't need any more. It leaves your list and your client's portal, and its link stops working. You find it again under Archived in the Moodboards list, where you can Restore it.
Delete moodboard is in Settings, under Danger zone. It can't be undone: export a PDF first if you want to keep a copy.

Good habits

One topic per board. “Ceremony”, “Portraits”, “Details”: short boards are easier for your client to answer.
Add a few words. A short text note stops your client from guessing what you liked in a photo.
Tidy up before you share. Remove the photos you're not sure about, then press Send to client.
Keep the talk on the board. Ask your client to comment on the photos instead of sending messages: every decision stays next to the picture it's about.
