Step-by-step tutorial for making vision boards using Apple’s Freeform app.
Apple’s Freeform app is a free and versatile tool that lets you design vision boards and mood boards directly on your iPad. It’s especially useful for photographers, creatives, and planners who want to collect references, ideas, and inspiration in one infinite canvas.
Download Freeform from the App Store, open it, and create a new board. Use split-screen with Safari or Photos to drag images straight into your board. Freeform automatically snaps items to a grid for neat layouts, and you can crop or resize each element as needed.
You can drag in images from the web, add photos from your camera roll, or even capture screenshots from apps like Pinterest using AssistiveTouch. Everything drops seamlessly into your Freeform board, ready to arrange and annotate.
Highlight details using your Apple Pencil, add titles with custom fonts, and adjust your board until the composition is just right. When finished, you can export your board as a PDF or print it out — making it perfect for project planning, photoshoot prep, or personal inspiration.
