Storyboard Studio is a browser-based online storyboard creator for filmmakers, animators, game developers and educators. It takes you from a written script all the way to a timed animatic without installing anything.
Write or import your script, break scenes into shots, sketch or drop in storyboard frames, add shot notes and camera details, arrange everything on an animatic timeline, and export production-ready PDFs, images and shot lists. Because it is an installable Progressive Web App, it also works offline after your first visit, and your projects stay on your own machine.
Making a storyboard in Storyboard Studio takes five steps:
For directors, cinematographers and first ADs, Storyboard Studio is previsualization and shot planning in one place. Plan coverage shot by shot, attach camera and lens notes, generate a shot list for the call sheet, and share a PDF or animatic with your crew before you set up a single camera. Good previs saves shoot days, and a clear board keeps the whole unit on the same page.
Game and cinematic teams use Storyboard Studio to block out cutscenes, trailers and in-engine sequences before production. Storyboard camera moves and beats, time them into an animatic to lock pacing, and hand a clear reference to your animation, layout and engine teams. It sits alongside your existing DCC and engine pipeline as the planning layer.
An animatic turns static frames into a timed sequence so you can feel the pacing of a scene. In Storyboard Studio you set a duration for each frame, arrange them on the timeline, and play the whole sequence back in the browser. Adjust the timing until the edit feels right, then export the animatic as a self-contained HTML player you can share with anyone.
When the board is ready, export whatever your production needs: a printable PDF contact sheet, the individual cropped frame images, a formatted shot list, a shareable HTML animatic player, or a JSON project file to keep. Everything is production-ready and generated in your browser.
Educators use Storyboard Studio to teach visual storytelling, shot grammar and film language. Students can plan a short film, comic or animation, build a simple animatic, and export their board to hand in, with nothing to install on shared school machines.
Slide and design apps like Canva can arrange images, but they are not built for shot planning or animatics. Dedicated tools such as StudioBinder and Storyboard That focus on boards and templates. Storyboard Studio brings the whole pre-production path together - script to shots to boards to a timed animatic to production export - in one fast, browser-based app with offline support and no install.
