# AI Moodboard Generator > An AI moodboard generator turns a written mood — a style, a palette, materials and light — into a set of matching images you can pin on a board, instead of hunting for stock photos. On Kenerate AI you write one brief and reuse it across prompts, or upload reference photos (up to 10 on Seedream 5.0 Pro, 14 on Nano Banana 2.1, 16 on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst) so every new image follows their look. Kenerate makes the images; you arrange them in Figma, Canva, Milanote or a slide.

Generate the set — Reuse the mood sentence with different subjects — a room, a texture, an object, a detail — or ask for a 2x2 grid in one image. 4. Lay out the board — Download without a watermark and arrange the images in Figma, Canva, Milanote or a slide with your notes and swatches. ## In depth ### What goes on a moodboard A moodboard is a page of images that sets a direction before anyone designs, shoots or buys anything. It is not a gallery of favourites — every picture should say the same thing about colour, texture and light, so a client or a team can agree on the feeling in one look. AI helps with the slow part: finding images that all match. Instead of twenty stock photos from twenty photographers, you get a set made from the same brief. - Hero image: the one picture that sums up the mood. - Palette: 3–5 colours that repeat across the board. - Materials and textures: wood, linen, stone, metal, fabric close-ups. - Objects and details: the props, furniture or products that belong in that world. - Light: daylight, golden hour, warm evening, studio. ### Two ways to keep a board consistent Our two boards above were made from one-sentence briefs, one try per image. What keeps a set together: - A shared mood sentence: the same colours, materials and light pasted into every prompt. - References: upload the photos you already like and ask for new images “in the same style as the references”. - One grid: a 2x2 or 3x3 grid in a single image shares light and palette by construction. ### Moodboards by use case The same method works for different jobs — only the subjects change: - Interior: one room photo in several styles, then the winning style as close-ups of materials. - Brand and product: the product in three or four scenes that share props, palette and light. - Fashion: flat lays, fabric close-ups and a full look in one palette. - Film and photo: the same location at different times of day, colour grade and lens notes. ## FAQ Q: What is an AI moodboard generator? A: A tool that makes the images for a moodboard from a written mood instead of collecting them from stock sites or Pinterest. You describe the style, colours, materials and light; the model generates matching pictures. On Kenerate you get the images and lay them out in the board tool you already use. Q: How do I make a moodboard with AI? A: Write one sentence for the mood — for example “Japandi, oat and sage, oak and linen, soft daylight” — and reuse it in several prompts with different subjects: a room, a chair, a texture close-up, a detail. Or upload photos you like as references so new images follow their look. Download the set and arrange it on your board. Q: Can it make the whole moodboard in one image? A: You can ask for a 2x2 or 3x3 grid in a single image, which keeps colours and light consistent across the tiles. It is a good quick overview; for a board you will present, generating each image separately gives you sharper tiles you can swap one at a time. Q: How many reference images can I upload? A: It depends on the model: up to 10 on Seedream 5.0 Pro, up to 14 on Nano Banana 2.1 and up to 16 on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. Qwen Image 3.0, the free-plan model, takes up to 3. Q: Is there a moodboard canvas on Kenerate? A: No. Kenerate generates and edits the images; it does not have a drag-and-drop board. Download the images (no watermark) and arrange them in Figma, Canva, Milanote, Miro or a slide deck. Q: How is this different from Krea moodboards? A: Krea's Moodboards feature lets you upload up to 250 images so its Krea 2 model learns their style, then pick that moodboard when generating. On Kenerate you steer the style with up to 16 reference images per generation or with a written mood. Both give you on-style images; neither replaces the board you present. Q: Is the AI moodboard generator free? A: Free to start. A new account gets starter credits on sign-up, and Qwen Image 3.0 is on the free plan. Seedream 5.0 Pro, used on this page, runs on credits from one-time packs that never expire — no subscription needed. Downloads carry no watermark. Q: What kinds of moodboards work best? A: Interior and home (one room in several styles), brand and product (packaging, props and light for a launch), fashion (palettes, fabrics, flat lays) and film or photo looks (lighting, colour grade, locations). Anything that is defined by palette, materials and light is a good fit. ## Related pages - AI interior design generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-interior-design-generator - Color palette from image: https://kenerateai.com/color-palette-from-image - Image to image AI: https://kenerateai.com/image-to-image-ai - AI image combiner: https://kenerateai.com/ai-image-combiner - AI product photo generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-product-photo-generator - AI paint color visualizer: https://kenerateai.com/ai-paint-color-visualizer - AI texture generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-texture-generator - AI storyboard generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-storyboard-generator ## Sources - Kenerate Image Studio: https://kenerateai.com/app/image - Krea — Moodboards: https://www.krea.ai/moodboards
