# How to Make a Vision Board on iPhone (Free App)

> Make a vision board on your iPhone for free. Pull images from your camera roll or Pinterest, cut them out, add your goals in text, and set it as your wallpaper.

A vision board works best when you actually see it, which means it should live on your phone, not in a drawer. The good news is your iPhone can make one in a few minutes, with your own photos and the images you've been saving. Here's the app to use and how to put a board together you'll want to set as your wallpaper.

## What makes a good vision board app

A vision board is part moodboard, part goal list, so the app needs to do both:

- **Pull images from anywhere.** Your camera roll, screenshots, and the pins you've been collecting.
- **Cut things out.** A clean cutout of a single object reads stronger than a full photo with a busy background.
- **Add words.** Goals, affirmations, a year, a single word. Text is half of a vision board.
- **Arrange freely.** No grid. You place each piece where it feels right.

## Jodu: a free vision board maker

[Jodu](https://apps.apple.com/app/jodu-app/id6759936736) is a free-to-download iPhone app built for exactly this kind of freeform, image-led board.

- **One-tap cutouts** lift a subject off its background on your device, so an object can sit clean on the page.
- **Your images and Pinterest together.** Add photos from your camera roll or import pins from your [Pinterest boards](/blog/pinterest-collage-app/), with no account to set up.
- **40+ fonts** for goals and affirmations, from clean type to handwriting.
- **Backgrounds, frames, and stickers** to style the board, on a freeform canvas with layers.
- **Save it and use it.** Export at full resolution and set it as your phone wallpaper so the board is in front of you every day.
