What creators are saying
Join early creators getting structured workspaces and AI that remembers their projects
“Storyflow has sped up my workflow by at least 3x, which means more flow state and more projects I can actually ship. It truly changed the way me and my team create.”
Reilin Joey
Director & YouTuber
“One prompt gets me a structured board. But the tactics are my favorite. I run my YouTube scripts through them and my intros and retention got better. It's amazing.”
Justkay
YouTuber & Freelance Filmmaker
“I used to juggle five apps to plan a project. Now I describe what I am making and get boards, lists, and a schedule. All in one place.”

Any questions?
Everything you need to know about the Storyflow storyboard maker.
What is a storyboard?
A storyboard is a sequence of frames that maps out the visuals, narration, and pacing of a video, film, animation, or presentation before you shoot. It lets you plan each scene and share the vision with your team.
What is the best storyboarding software: Boords, StudioBinder, Storyboarder or Storyflow?
Storyflow puts the storyboard inside the whole production plan: the AI lays out frames from your script, one per scene, and the shot list and shooting schedule sit on the same board. Boords is the pick for timing, animatics and frame-by-frame client review. Storyboarder by Wonder Unit is free desktop software for drawing every frame. StudioBinder suits a production suite with call sheets and calendars, and Canva a quick visual board from a template.
Which storyboarding software is best for film, animation or ads?
Storyflow for film and video that has to be shot: frames from the script, then the shot list and shooting schedule on the same board. Toon Boom Storyboard Pro for animation, where drawing, timing and camera moves matter; animation studios use it widely. Boords for ads and agency work that needs animatics and client review. FrameForge for directors who plan lenses and camera positions in 3D.
Is Storyflow's storyboard maker really free?
Not during early access. Storyflow is paid-only today, with Plus starting at $7.99 per month billed annually. A Free plan launches before the end of 2026 with unlimited storyboards on an infinite canvas, basic AI usage, 3 starter frameworks, and 20 file uploads. Anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free right now.
What does one Storyflow subscription replace?
Beyond the storyboard, one Storyflow subscription can stand in for ChatGPT for AI, Milanote for visual boards and moodboards, and Notion for documents, all on one canvas. The Pro plan is $14 per month billed annually, and Plus starts at $7.99 per month billed annually, with no object limit and no time limit.
How is Storyflow different from Milanote, Boords, or Canva?
Storyflow's AI is built into the canvas where the rest of your project lives, so one prompt builds a full storyboard with scenes, structure, and layout for you. The AI also reads the board you have open, so you do not have to re-explain your story. Storyflow gives you a freeform infinite canvas instead of a fixed grid, and the Free plan coming before the end of 2026 includes unlimited projects and cards.
Can the AI generate a storyboard for me?
Yes. Describe your video, film, or animation and the AI lays out a full storyboard, complete with scenes, notes, and a checklist for each frame, arranged on the canvas. Keep prompting and the AI refines it, reading the board as it stands and any documents you attach.
Can I sketch frames by hand?
Yes. Grab the pen tool and sketch a scene right onto the canvas. Draw a detailed frame or rough out a quick concept. It feels just like drawing on paper.
Can I add video and images to my storyboard?
Yes. Drag and drop images, video, GIFs, PDFs, links, and notes straight onto the canvas. Storyboards do not have to be static. Everything lives on one infinite board.
Can I share my storyboard for feedback?
Yes. Share a view-only link with clients or stakeholders, invite teammates to edit in real time, or export your storyboard as an image or PDF. You control who can edit, comment, or just view.
