Evernote is the popular cloud-based app that many use for note-taking. It can also be a powerful mood board creator.

Evernote is ideal for filmmakers and agencies who like to have all of their ideas in one place. But at that point, you may consider upgrading to production management software that stores your contacts, drafts, and script breakdowns in one place.

6. Canva

How do you make a digital mood board? Do you select images and then add them in? Do you search an existing library?

In Canva, you can add text, images, and drawings. You can also use a magic media AI tool to generate images based on written descriptions. 

Some features – such as background removal and resizing – are currently locked behind the "pro" model.

Canva certainly offers plenty of mood board templates for its price tag, but can you put a price on an idea?
