Mood Board Studio Pro

What Mood Board Studio Pro is

Mood Board Studio Pro is a native macOS app for arranging photos into print-ready pages and exporting the complete board as a PDF. It offers Justified, Gallery and Freeform layouts, with US Letter, A4 and 16:9 widescreen pages in portrait or landscape orientation. A full-screen slideshow presents a board, and keyboard controls move between pages. PDF export combines all pages into one file with configurable resolution and JPEG quality. The app accepts JPEG, PNG, HEIC and WebP images in the sRGB color space. Capture One integration watches an album or collection and adds rendered photos with adjustments applied; watched folders can send new images to the tray automatically. Processing runs locally, with network use limited to license activation and update checks. An activated license works offline. The app requires macOS 15 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs. A five-day trial is available. After it ends, creating boards and exporting PDFs are locked until activation, although existing board photos remain visible. The Lifetime license costs $19, paid once and covers version 1.x and its updates for life, with activation on up to two Macs.

Who it suits

It suits photographers, digi-techs, designers and creative teams that make boards regularly. Mac users needing slideshow presentation and PDF delivery may value its layout and export controls.

Limits

The five-day trial ends with new board creation and PDF export locked until a license is activated, although photos already on a board remain visible. The lifetime license activates on up to two Macs.
