Three steps from a single scene to a finished board with a cast that stays on-model.
Type a script, a scene, or a one-line idea, and pick a format — cinematic film board, commercial, animatic, music video, or short-form. The AI storyboard creator drafts the frames.
"A detective chases a thief across rainy rooftops"
Save your characters to your library. The storyboard maker freezes each design so they stay identical from frame to frame and scene to scene.
Lock the detective + the thief → reused every frame
Get a finished storyboard with sequential frames, shot-type labels, camera angles, and action notes. Export it pitch-ready and keep boarding your project.
Prompt → frames → finished storyboard
A generic AI image tool redraws your character differently in every frame — and a storyboard nobody can follow is worse than useless. A real AI storyboard generator keeps the same cast, frame after frame.
From finished shot-by-shot boards to a pro pre-production look to a whole on-model cast — every frame stays consistent.

Real Shot-by-Shot Boards

Pro Pre-Production Look

A Whole On-Model Cast
“A detective chases a thief across rainy rooftops, ending in a standoff at the edge”
“A 30-second coffee ad: tired commuter, first sip, sunrise reveal, product end card”
“A quiet diner conversation between two old friends that turns into a confession”
“An astronaut wakes alone on a derelict ship and discovers she is not alone”
“A TikTok cooking skit: chaotic prep, a disaster, a save, and a triumphant plating”
“A music-video sequence of a singer walking through a city as it transforms around her”
The AI storyboard maker handles the parts that make a board work — so your frames read like a real shot plan.
Cinematic film board to commercial to animatic to music video to vertical short-form — pick the format that fits the project while your cast stays locked.

On-model characters, real shot-by-shot sequences, camera angles, action notes, a whole production library, and export-ready boards — all in one place.
A storyboard falls apart when the hero looks different in every panel. Lock your characters once and the AI storyboard generator keeps the same faces, wardrobe, and props in every frame of the sequence — so directors, crew, and clients always know exactly who they’re looking at.
Not one random picture — the storyboard maker lays out a clean sequence of frames in order, each a distinct shot, with proper composition for a wide, medium, close-up, POV, or over-the-shoulder.
Tag each frame with its shot type, camera angle, and movement — pan, tilt, dolly, push-in — plus action notes and dialogue or voiceover lines, so the board reads like a real pre-production document.
Cinematic shot boards, client-ready commercial storyboards, animation animatics, music-video boards, and vertical short-form boards for TikTok and Reels — pick the format and the AI storyboard creator frames it right.
Save your cast and sets to a library and board out scene after scene, sequence after sequence, across an entire project — without re-describing your characters from scratch every time.
Export crisp frames and boards for pitch decks, shot lists, slideshows, or print — with full commercial rights on your original characters and boards. What you make is yours to shoot.
Plan every shot before you ever roll camera. Lock your cast, board out the sequence, and walk onto set with a clear visual shot plan your whole crew can follow.
Block out a skit, a sketch, or a sequence in minutes — with the same characters every frame — so you shoot faster and edit with a plan instead of guessing.
Turn a brief into a client-ready commercial storyboard with shot numbers and voiceover notes. Pitch the spot before a single frame is shot — on brand, on message.
Build animatics for previs, visualize a screenplay for film school, or thumbnail a sequence fast. Lock your cast and let the generator handle framing and shot logic.
They all share the same character library, so whatever you start with, your cast comes with you.
Shot-by-shot frames with camera angles and action notes for a film, ad, or animatic — you’re in the right place.

For printed-style right-to-left manga with screentone and chapters, use the AI manga generator.

ExploreLooking for an AI storyboard generator that makes finished shot-by-shot boards instead of one-off pictures? C2Story is the storyboard maker built for filmmakers, indie directors, video and YouTube creators, ad and marketing teams, animators, and film students who need to visualize a shot plan fast. Describe a script or scene, pick a format, and the AI storyboard maker lays out a real sequence of frames with shot types, camera angles, camera-movement notes, and action lines — cinematic film boards, client-ready commercial boards, animation animatics, music-video sequences, and vertical short-form boards for TikTok and Reels.
What makes this AI storyboard creator different from a generic image tool? Consistency. A regular AI image generator hands you a different face in every frame — which makes a storyboard impossible to follow, because nobody on the crew can tell who’s who across the shots. C2Story lets you lock your characters into a persistent character library, so every frame and every scene keeps the same design. That’s what turns a pile of unrelated pictures into an actual storyboard a director and client can read at a glance.
Pick from clean storyboard pencil-sketch, monochrome, cinematic, comic, or any of 50+ art styles. Create a storyboard with AI from a single prompt, then export crisp, presentation-ready frames sized for pitch decks, shot lists, slideshows, or print — with full commercial rights on your original characters and boards. No drawing skill required: the generator handles framing, shot composition, camera-angle labels, and action notes for you.
