Pinterest will now let you build upon other collages and mood boards with its new remix feature, making it easier to get started on a creation if you’re running low on ideas.
You can use the feature to add your own images, text, and drawings to an existing collage. And if you don’t want other people adding to your mood board, Pinterest will give you the option to turn remixing on or off.

Pinterest first introduced collages with the launch of its Shuffles app in 2022, allowing users to “cut out” images and place them on a single canvas to create mood boards, style guides, and other interesting mishmashes. The platform built the feature into the main Pinterest app in 2023 and says it has seen a 418 percent increase in collages since the beginning of this year.
To find a collage to remix, tap on the Remix a collage card in the collage tool. You’ll also find a Remix button on the bottom right corner of collages that have remixing enabled. When you post a remix, Pinterest will link to the original collage and creator.
Pinterest is making collages easier to share, too, as you can now turn your collage into a video that you can download and post on social platforms. The new remixing and sharing options are rolling out to Pinterest users globally on iOS and Android.
