STORYBOARD SOFTWARE
Storyboard software that runs
the whole pre-production.
One canvas carries the whole pre-production pipeline: Storyflow's AI drafts the storyboard layout, and the shot list, script breakdown, and moodboard build out around it. When sign-off comes, export images and PDFs for the production binder.

What is storyboard software?
Storyboard software is the tool a production uses to turn a script or concept into a frame-by-frame visual plan that the director, DP, client, and crew can all read. For a long time, choosing storyboard software meant heavyweight desktop programs: a license for every seat, an install on every machine, versioned files emailed back and forth, and a separate app for every other pre-production document.
Storyflow is storyboard software built for how productions actually run. It works in the browser with nothing to install, and the AI generates the storyboard layout for you: scenes, structure, and notes arranged on an infinite canvas from one prompt or a pasted script. The shot list, the script breakdown, and the moodboard sit on the same canvas as the board, so pre-production stops being five disconnected files.
Professional storyboard software also has to get the board out the door. Invite your team to the project, send clients a view-only link for sign-off, and export clean images or PDFs for the deck and the binder. The free plan has no time limit, so you can run a real production on it before paying for anything.
HOW IT WORKS
From brief to approved board in four steps.
The parts of storyboarding that used to need a desktop program now happen on one canvas in the browser.
01
Open a free canvas
Sign up in seconds, no credit card and no download. The same canvas works in any browser, and a desktop app for Mac and Windows is there if you want it.
02
Brief the AI
Describe the project, paste the script, or drop a PDF onto the board. From that, the AI lays out the storyboard with scenes, structure, and notes.
03
Build the production around it
Branch the board into a shot list and script breakdown, pin references and frame grabs from YouTube or Vimeo, and keep every document on one canvas.
04
Get sign-off and export
Invite the team and collect client approval through a view-only link, then print the production binder from a high-quality image or PDF export.
Storyboard software for the production, not just the artist.
Legacy storyboard programs end at the frames. Storyflow carries the board through the whole pre-production.

Brief in, structured board out
AI does the layout work
Brief the AI and it builds the storyboard layout: scenes, sequence, structure, and notes arranged on the canvas. You spend your time on decisions, not setup.

Paste a script or drop a PDF on the canvas
Start from the script you already have
Paste the screenplay or drag a PDF onto the board and the AI works from it. Export from Final Draft or Word to PDF or text first, then drop it in.

Shot lists and breakdowns beside the frames
The rest of pre-production on the same canvas
No second app for the shot list and no third for the breakdown. Plan coverage, setups, and scene elements next to the board they came from.

BUILT FOR PRODUCTION
Everything a storyboard program should have learned by now.
Storyflow replaces the desktop-era workflow: install, license, save, attach, repeat.

Browser-first, desktop when you want it
No installs, no license keys
Works in the browser: Open a board on any machine, on set or in the office. Nothing to download and nothing to update.
Desktop app included: Prefer a dedicated window? There is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that runs the same canvas.
One source of truth: Boards are saved online, so there is no v3_FINAL_final.psd. Everyone opens the same board.

An infinite canvas instead of fixed grids
Boards that hold the whole project
No frame limit, no page limit: Lay out a 30-second spot or a feature act by act. The canvas grows with the project.
References live next to scenes: Drag in images, video, GIFs, PDFs, and links. Grab stills from YouTube or Vimeo straight onto the canvas.
200+ storytelling frameworks: Three-act structure, beat sheets, Hero's Journey and more. The free plan starts you with 3.

AI that knows what is on the board
Revise like a conversation
Context-aware AI: The AI reads the active board, so you can ask for tighter pacing or extra coverage and it updates in place.
Layout, not fake artwork: The AI structures scenes and notes. You add visuals by sketching, dropping in references, or generating AI images on Pro and Max plans.
Mention your documents: Point the AI at a framework and up to three documents on the board to steer the result.
Image and PDF export for decks and binders
Deliverables the crew can actually use
Clean PDF exports: Export the board for the pitch deck, the client email, and the printed binder on set.
Client view links: Clients and stakeholders review the live board without creating an account.
Edit access where it belongs: Invite the team free and decide who can edit. Live multi-editor presence is available on the Max plan.

Agencies that need professional storyboard software for clients
Build the board, send a view-only link, collect sign-off, export the deck. No license per stakeholder.
Freelancers comparing the best storyboard software on a budget
The free plan has no time limit, and paid plans start at $7.99 per month if you need more AI usage.

COMPARISON
How Storyflow compares to other storyboard software.
Most tools give you frames in a grid or cards on a board. Storyflow gives you the production.

Storyboard software, answered.
What people ask before they pick a storyboard program.
The best storyboard software depends on what surrounds the board. If you only need frames in a grid, many tools work. If you want AI to lay out the board, an infinite canvas, and shot lists, breakdowns, and moodboards in the same place, Storyflow is built for exactly that, and the free plan has no time limit so you can judge it on a real project.
