🖼 Already generated your images? Drop them into the free browser vision board & wallpaper maker - it arranges your own images into a board plus a matching phone lock-screen wallpaper. No signup, nothing uploaded, runs entirely in your browser.
- Replace the brackets. Every prompt has a
[placeholder]. A vision board only works when the image is specific — "senior data engineer at a Berlin fintech" beats "good job". - Generate 2–4 variants per prompt, keep the one that gives you a physical reaction. That reaction is the whole point.
- Aim for 6–9 images on one board. More than that and no single image gets attention.
- Write one concrete next action next to each image ("book the certification exam by Friday"). A board without a next action is a screensaver.
- Style suffix — append to any prompt for a consistent board look:
— cohesive editorial style, warm natural light, shallow depth of field, no text, no watermark, 4:5
- Assemble the images into an actual board. Six loose PNGs in a downloads folder are not a vision board. Arrange them into one board and a matching phone lock-screen wallpaper with the free vision board maker (browser-based, no signup, your photos never leave your device), or lay them out in any tool you already use.

New categories are welcome — open a pull request adding a section with 6 prompts in the same format. Two rules:
- No brand names or real people in prompts (image models handle them badly and it creates rights problems).
- Every prompt must be specific enough to picture. If it could describe anyone's life, it's too vague for a vision board.
