How it works

  1. Choose 16:9 for video or 4:3, and how many frames on a page.
  2. Add the title line and the number of pages.
  3. Print, sketch each shot in a frame and write the action and dialogue beside it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a storyboard for?
It turns a script into pictures, shot by shot, so you can see the order, framing and pacing before filming — for videos, animations, ads and presentations.
Which frame size should I use?
16:9 is the shape of most video today; 4:3 suits older formats, slides and animation drafts.
How many frames on a page?
Two or three leave room for detailed notes; six give an overview of a whole sequence.
Do I need to draw well?
No — stick figures, arrows for camera moves and a few words are enough.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The pages are made in your browser.
