What does script to storyboard mean?
Script to storyboard is the step in pre-production where a written script becomes a visual plan: every scene broken out, ordered, and laid up as frames the whole team can see. Doing the script to storyboard step by hand means re-reading the script, splitting it into scenes, and building each frame one at a time. For a short script that takes an afternoon. For a full screenplay it takes days.
Storyflow compresses the script to storyboard workflow into minutes. Paste your script into the AI, or drop it on the canvas as a PDF, and the AI reads the story and lays out a storyboard with scenes, structure, and notes on an infinite canvas. From there you refine it: re-arrange frames with drag and drop, sketch over scenes with the pen tool, add reference images and video, and keep prompting the AI to rework pacing or add coverage.
Because the AI keeps the context of your whole board, the script to storyboard conversion is not a one-shot export. Ask for an extra scene, a different act structure, or tighter pacing, and it updates the board while keeping everything you have already placed.
HOW IT WORKS
Turn your script into a storyboard in four steps.
No manual scene splitting, no frame-by-frame setup. The AI reads the script and builds the board.
01
Open a free canvas
Sign up in seconds. No credit card, no download. Your infinite canvas is ready in the browser.
02
Add your script
Paste the script straight into the AI chat, or drag a PDF of your script onto the canvas for the AI to work from.
03
Let the AI lay out every scene
The AI breaks the script into scenes and generates a storyboard with structure, notes, and a fitting framework, arranged on the canvas.
04
Refine, share, export
Re-order frames, sketch details with the pen tool, add references, then share a view-only link or export the storyboard as an image or PDF.
A script to storyboard workflow that keeps going.
The storyboard is a starting point. Shot lists, breakdowns, and moodboards live on the same canvas.

Scene-by-scene layout generated from your script
Generate a storyboard from any script
Paste a screenplay, a YouTube script, or a rough treatment. The AI maps the scenes, sequence, and structure so you start from a full board instead of a blank page.

Break the script down into shots on the same canvas
Turn scenes into a shot list
Once the storyboard exists, branch into a shot list without switching tools. Plan coverage, angles, and setups next to the frames they belong to.

Pen tool and sketch cards for rough frames
Sketch over the generated board
The AI gives you layout and structure. You add the craft: sketch frames by hand, swap in reference images, and write direction next to every scene.

BUILT FOR SCRIPTS
More than a script to storyboard converter.
Storyflow is an AI-native canvas, so the script, the storyboard, and everything around them live in one place.

Paste text or drop a PDF on the canvas
Works with the script you already have
Paste any script: Screenplays, video scripts, podcast outlines, or rough treatments. Paste the text and the AI works from it.
PDF on the canvas: Drop your script PDF straight onto the board. It stays next to the storyboard as the source of truth.
Final Draft and Word: Export your script to PDF or plain text from your writing tool, then paste or drop it in. No re-typing.

AI that keeps the whole story in context
Re-prompt until the board matches the script
Iterate scene by scene: Ask the AI to expand act two, merge scenes, or change pacing. It keeps the context of the whole board.
200+ frameworks: Three-act structure, Hero's Journey, beat sheets, and more. Pick one or let the AI suggest a structure for your script.
Notes on every frame: Dialogue, narration, and direction sit next to each scene so nothing from the script gets lost.
References, video, and frame grabs beside your scenes
Build the visual language around the board
Grab frames from video: Capture stills from YouTube or Vimeo references straight onto the canvas and pin them next to scenes.
Moodboards on the same canvas: Collect tone, color, and lighting references beside the storyboard instead of in a separate tool.
Everything stays connected: Script, storyboard, references, and notes on one infinite board. No tab-switching between five apps.

From storyboard to production-ready plan
Carry the script into production
Shot lists and breakdowns: Branch the storyboard into shot lists, script breakdowns, and schedules on the same canvas.
Client-ready exports: Export the storyboard as a high-quality image or PDF for decks, approvals, and the on-set binder.
Team access: Invite collaborators free, control who can edit or view, and keep one source of truth for the project.
