Storyboard Studio is an online storyboard creator that runs entirely in your web browser. There is nothing to download and nothing to install - open the page, sign in, and start boarding your next scene.
Make storyboards in your browser
A good storyboard turns an idea into a shot-by-shot plan everyone can follow. Storyboard Studio gives you a full storyboarding workspace online: a scene and shot list on one side, storyboard frames in the middle, and shot notes and an animatic timeline built in. You can draw frames directly, or drop in reference images and thumbnails for each shot.
Because it is an installable Progressive Web App, it also works offline after your first visit, and your projects stay on your own machine rather than on someone else's server.
Everything a storyboard creator should do
- Script to storyboard. Write or import a script and break each scene into shots.
- Frame-by-frame boards. Sketch or add an image for every shot, with as many panels as you need.
- Shot details. Record camera angle, movement, lens, duration and notes on each frame.
- Animatic timeline. Sequence frames and play them back to feel the pacing.
- Production export. Export a PDF, image set, shot list, HTML animatic player or JSON project.
Who uses an online storyboard creator?
Filmmakers use it to previsualize coverage and build a shot list before the shoot. Animators plan sequences and time them into an animatic. Game and cinematic teams block out cutscenes and trailers. Teachers and students use it to learn visual storytelling with nothing to install on shared machines. The same browser-based board works for all of them.

Frequently asked questions
Is Storyboard Studio really browser-based?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no install or plugins, and works offline as an installable Progressive Web App after your first visit.
Do I need drawing skills?
No. You can sketch simple frames, or drop in reference images and thumbnails for each shot - the goal is a clear plan, not finished art.
Can I export my storyboard?
Yes - PDF contact sheets, individual images, a shot list, an HTML animatic player, or a JSON project file. Exporting unlocks with a subscription after the free trial.
