AI Storyboard Generator
Describe an idea once and preview numbered scenes with a shot description for each panel. Edit the shots, generate a complete storyboard grid, and use that image as a reference in the video studio — story first, generation second.
- One idea in, a scene-by-scene board out
- One generated grid image with a panel for every shot
- Rewrite any scene before rendering
- Use the board as a video reference
How to make a storyboard
From a one-line idea to a video-ready board, without drawing a single frame by hand.
- 01
Write your idea
Type a scene, a journey, or a full story in your own words. Pick how many scenes the board should have and the aspect ratio of each panel.
- 02
Preview the shots
The storyboard tool writes a shot list for every scene, free of charge. Rewrite any action, reorder the panels, and restore the original text whenever you like.
- 03
Generate the storyboard
When the shots read right, generate the complete grid as one image. Every panel is drawn in order, and a failed render refunds the credits in full.
- 04
Use it as video input
Take the finished board straight into the video studio as a reference image. The saved shots can guide the clip through a hidden prompt you can switch off.
Why plan with a storyboard
The board is the cheapest place to fix a story — every feature below exists to move decisions before the expensive render.
Free shot-list preview
See the whole narrative as an editable shot list before spending credits. Change your mind at zero cost, as many times as the story needs.
Editable, reorderable shots
Every scene carries its own action, shot type, camera move, setting, lighting, and mood. Drag panels into a new order and the image follows the page.
One grid, every scene
The render arrives as a single storyboard image with numbered panels in reading order — the format directors already mark up with a pen.
Straight into video
The finished board opens the video studio preloaded as a reference. The shot list rides along as a hidden prompt, so the clip walks the scenes in order.
Fair, flat pricing
Previewing costs nothing. The render is the model's own price plus one flat storyboard fee, reserved up front and refunded if the image fails.
Eight languages, one board
The tool, the shot vocabulary, and the editor all speak the same eight languages as the rest of the studio, with the same layout and shortcuts.
What teams use it for
Ad concepting
Turn a 15-second brief into a shot plan the client can approve before a single paid render, then reuse the same board for the final cut.
Short-film pre-production
Draft the scene order, camera moves, and lighting beats of a short film in minutes, and hand the board to the shoot as the shot list.
Social storytelling
Plan vertical stories scene by scene, generate the board in 9:16 panels, and publish the finished video to Explore when it lands.
Teaching visual narrative
Show students what coverage means: one idea, six panels, and the difference between a wide establishing shot and a close-up, side by side.
AI storyboard generator FAQ
What is an AI storyboard generator?
It is a planning tool that turns a short idea into an editable shot list before any image or video is generated. You describe the story you want; the preview breaks it into numbered scenes and writes a shot description for each panel. Review and edit the shots, then generate one image containing the complete storyboard grid. You can use that grid as a reference in the video studio, where the saved shots can also guide the video through an optional hidden prompt.
How do I create a storyboard?
Open the storyboard tool and write your idea in a sentence or two — a product demo, a short drama beat, a travel clip, a lesson. Pick how many scenes the board should have and request a free preview. The tool returns editable shot descriptions that you can review and reorder. When the shots read right, choose your image settings, review the quote, and generate the complete storyboard grid. Video generation is a separate step in the video studio.
Can I guide the panels with a reference image?
Yes. Uploading a reference image is the fastest way to hold a subject or an art direction steady across every panel — the same character, product, or style from scene one to the last. You can pick the image right on this page and it carries into the tool, or add it from the tool's render controls at any time. Uploading needs a signed-in account; if you are browsing anonymously, the page asks you to sign in first and keeps your chosen image ready, so you never have to pick it twice. The reference steers the look of the panels; the shot descriptions still steer what happens in them.
How many scenes can a storyboard have?
You choose the scene count when the board is created, within the range the tool offers. Edit each shot description independently, reorder the shots, and adjust the panel aspect ratio or the target duration for the whole storyboard. Once the preview is ready, the image model generates one complete grid containing all the scenes. You can review the quoted price before submitting the full board.
How does the storyboard become a video?
The render controls sit under the preview. Choose an image model, resolution, panel aspect ratio, and target duration, then review the coin quote before generating one storyboard grid. Once the grid is ready, use it as a reference image in the video studio. The studio carries the saved shots as an optional hidden prompt, and you choose a supported video model and submit the video separately.
How much does it cost?
Previewing and editing shots is free. Generating the storyboard grid spends coins, and the tool shows its quote before you submit. The amount depends on the selected image model and settings; if the quote is not right for you, change the settings before submitting. Using the finished grid in the video studio opens a separate video workflow, where generating a video has its own price. You can top up or subscribe from the pricing page when you need more coins.
Who owns the storyboards I create?
The boards and videos you generate are saved to the creations list in your account, so you can come back to them, remix a board into a new video, or download the results and use them in your own edit. Boards stay private to you unless you choose to share them. Nothing is published anywhere by default — the story you draft here is yours to finish, export, or discard as you see fit, and deleting a creation removes it from your account.
Do I need to install anything to use it?
No. The storyboard tool runs in the browser on the web, alongside the rest of the video and image tools — no install, no project files to manage by hand. Start on this page with a reference image, or open the tool directly and write the idea there; either way the board lands in the same place. The tool works on a laptop screen first; if you also use the mobile app, your creations travel with the account, not the device.
