AI Storyboard Generator

Story2Board is an AI storyboard generator: describe a scene or upload a script, and an AI co-director plans each shot — framing, angle, camera move — then generates the panels and exports a PDF board.

How the AI storyboard generator works

Four steps from idea to finished storyboard

  1. Chat

    Describe a scene, or upload a script or brief (PDF, Word, or text). Plain words are fine.

  2. Generate

    The AI proposes the shot — size, angle, movement — then draws the panel.

  3. Iterate

    Refine any shot — adjust angles, swap compositions, or try different styles with a message.

  4. Export

    Download a PDF board — every shot with its panel, action, camera, size, angle, and duration.

One connected Story2Board project

From one story to a shootable storyboard

Follow one fictional jazz-club story from an idea or script through project anchors, shot design, generated panels, revision, and a board a production team can use.

  1. 01Story

    Bring an idea or script

    Start with a rough idea, a brief, or a finished script. Use plain language; the co-director can help develop the story before shot planning begins.

    A PDF brief and one sentence of direction start the project.
  2. 02Consistency

    Set the project's visual anchors

    Before shot design, Story2Board structures the characters, props, locations, world view, director intent, art style, and emotional tone into a consistency layer. The co-director can read these project anchors as each later shot is designed.

    Project Vision sets the art style that later images use as a shared reference.
    Character reference sheets for Leo and Elena in Story2Board
    Character references keep identity and appearance available across shots.
    Location reference boards for three recurring Story2Board environments
    Location boards keep recurring environments available as project anchors.
  3. 03Direction

    Design each shot together

    The co-director proposes framing, angle, movement, and composition, then shows relevant film references and explains the tradeoffs. You choose the direction.

    Two shot directions, the reasoning behind each, and the director's decision.
  4. 04Board and revise

    Generate the scene, then refine the shot

    The approved direction becomes panels organized by scene and shot. Revise one panel with a new instruction, reference image, model, or aspect ratio while the rest of the board stays in place.

  5. 05Handoff

    Export a board people can shoot from

    Export a PDF with each panel, its action, shot size, angle, camera notes, and narrative purpose. The PDF export itself does not use credits.

Purpose-built for film pre-production

Why a storyboard needs more than a chat or image generator

General AI can discuss a scene or make an image. Story2Board keeps the work inside one connected film pre-production project; the comparison below shows what changes at each stage while the director remains in control.

Project context

Standalone chat or image outputThe relevant context has to be supplied with each request

Connected Story2Board projectThe co-director can read the script, story map, Vision Project (worldbuilding, visual style, emotional tone, and director intent), characters, locations, and props while designing a shot

Consistency anchors

Standalone chat or image outputEach request has to restate what must stay visually fixed

Connected Story2Board projectStructured Character, Location, and Prop records form a consistency layer; approved reference images become visual anchors for later shots

Decision

Standalone chat or image outputA useful recommendation remains in the response

Connected Story2Board projectYour approved direction becomes structured scene and shot data

Image generation

Standalone chat or image outputA generated image is the output

Connected Story2Board projectA panel kept inside a sequence with references and prior decisions

Production handoff

Standalone chat or image outputSeparate text and images still need a production document

Connected Story2Board projectThe panel, action, and camera notes connected in one PDF board

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI storyboard generator?
An AI storyboard generator turns a script, brief, or scene idea into a shot-by-shot storyboard. In Story2Board, you chat with an AI co-director that plans framing, camera angle, movement, and composition before generating the panels.
What can I use as input?
An idea in plain words, a full script, or a brief. Type or paste it, or upload a PDF, Word, or text file — the AI reads it and proposes shots you can accept or change.
Is Story2Board free to use?
Yes. Using the generator needs a free account, and you get free credits on sign-up to try the storyboard agent. You can create storyboards, generate images, and export results. Exporting the PDF board does not cost credits. For higher volume production work, affordable paid plans are available.
Do I need filmmaking experience to use it?
No. The AI co-director guides you through the process. Just describe your scene in plain language and the AI suggests shot types, camera angles, and compositions based on how real films are shot. It is designed for beginners and professionals alike.
How does the AI co-director work?
You chat naturally with the AI, describing your scene, characters, or mood. The AI analyzes your input, suggests shot options, and can draw on a library of 270,000+ annotated shots across 250 acclaimed films before generating panels. It remembers your preferences across the project for consistent output.
Can I maintain character consistency across shots?
Yes. You create character profiles with descriptions and reference images. The AI uses these profiles to maintain visual consistency across all storyboard panels, ensuring the same character looks the same in every shot.
What is the Film Reference Library?
Story2Board includes a library of 270,000+ annotated shots across 250 acclaimed films. You can search by mood, shot type, or director style, and the AI can use relevant cinema examples when composing your storyboard panels.
What export formats are supported?
You can export a PDF board: the synopsis and full script up front, then every shot on its own page with its panel, action, dialogue, camera movement, shot size, angle, duration, and narrative purpose.
Can I use the storyboards commercially?
Story2Board can be used for commercial planning workflows such as pitch decks, client presentations, and production pre-visualization. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws, third-party rights, and any model or provider terms.
How is this different from regular storyboard templates?
Templates give you blank panels to fill manually. Story2Board generates complete storyboard panels with AI-created images, shot descriptions, camera angles, and dialogue — all from a simple conversation. It is the difference between a blank canvas and someone drawing beside you.
What types of projects can I storyboard?
Feature films, short films, commercials, music videos, animations, corporate videos, eLearning content, UX/UI flows, and more. The AI adapts its suggestions based on your project type and industry conventions.
Can I iterate and revise my storyboard?
Yes. You can ask the AI to adjust any shot — change the camera angle, modify the composition, add or remove characters, or try a different style. The conversation-based workflow makes iteration as simple as typing your feedback.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Story2Board runs entirely in your web browser. No downloads, no installations, no plugins. Just open the app and start creating.
