How it works
Three steps from blank page to ready-to-shoot storyboard — what used to take an artist days, done in minutes.
Step 1
Write your idea
Describe your scene, concept, or story in plain words. StoryboardAI writes the script and breaks it into individual shots — automatically.
Step 2
Generate your panels
Your storyboard comes to life panel by panel. Tweak any shot, switch art styles, or add your own characters until every frame looks exactly right.
Step 3
Export and share
Download a print-ready PDF, export a video animatic, or share your storyboard directly with your cast and crew — all in one click.
One character. Any style.
The same hero, re-rendered six ways — photoreal, anime, 3D, comic, charcoal, watercolor. Your character holds up across every one of 12+ art styles, not just photoreal. No stock, no mockups.
One character. Every shot.
We locked a single character, then generated this entire sequence — different angles, different scenes, the same face in every panel. Zero continuity breaks — the hard part of AI storyboarding, and exactly what we built for.
Same character across six consecutive shots — all generated from a single concept, no manual retouching.
The Director's Toolkit
Everything you need from first idea to final frame.
Cinematic Engine
Generate quick rough panels or full cinematic-quality frames — your call. Train your own characters once, and they'll look exactly right in every single shot.
The Secure Vault
Every panel, script, and project saves automatically. Come back any time, pick up where you left off, and export as a PDF or video when you're ready to share.
Your Cast, Your Vision
Train a custom AI model on your actors and props. Every panel renders the same face, same costume — zero continuity breaks across your entire storyboard.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before calling action.
Is StoryboardAI free to use?↓
Yes — you get 50 free credits when you sign up, no credit card required. Free credits never expire, so there's no rush.
What are credits and how are they spent?↓
Credits (tokens) power image generation, and the cost depends on the engine you choose — a quick draft is 1 token, a cinematic panel is 8. Regenerating a shot costs the same as generating it. Script generation uses separate AI Script credits (1–2 per script).
Is StoryboardAI a subscription?↓
No — it's pay-once. You buy a credit pack only when you need it: no monthly bill, no auto-renewal, and your credits never expire. Most storyboard tools lock you into a recurring subscription — StoryboardAI doesn't.
Can I use my own characters in the storyboard?↓
Absolutely. The Cast & Crew feature lets you train a custom AI model on your actor or character using 10–20 reference photos. Once trained, that exact face appears consistently across every panel — no more continuity breaks.
What art styles are available?↓
StoryboardAI includes 12+ styles: Cinematic, Storyboard Draft, Anime, Charcoal Noir, Watercolor, Comic Book, Clean Ink, Paper Stop Motion, 3D Pre-Viz, Cyberpunk, Whimsical Folk, and Vintage Film.
What can I export?↓
You can export a print-ready PDF storyboard sheet, a ZIP archive of all panel images at full resolution, a video animatic (.webm) with custom hold timing per panel, or an editor timeline (FCPXML + EDL) that drops straight into Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve. Everything exports watermark-free.
Is my content private?↓
Yes. Your projects, scripts, and generated images are private to your account and never used to train AI models. All data is stored with row-level security — no one else can access your work.
Do credits expire?↓
Never. Unlike subscription tools that reset your balance monthly, StoryboardAI credits are yours to keep forever once purchased. Use them on your schedule.
What makes StoryboardAI different from other storyboard tools?↓
We train a model on your actual cast — not a one-off reference image — so the same face holds across every shot, and you can rewrite any one shot and regenerate just that panel. Then it exports to where real productions live: an FCPXML/EDL package that drops straight into DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut and Premiere. Pair that with pay-once credits and it is built for real productions, not demos.
