What is StoryboardHero?
StoryboardHero is an AI storyboarding platform for video production. It turns a project brief into a script with scenes, voiceover and camera notes, then generates a visual storyboard in styles like pencil sketch, comic or photorealistic. Agencies and marketers share it with clients as a white-label PDF, a link or an MP4.
Before a video is shot, teams need a concept, a script and a storyboard the client can approve, and drawing boards by hand is slow. StoryboardHero automates that pre-production step: generate or upload a script, get frames in a consistent style, and collect client comments on a shared link. Exports carry only your branding, and if AI frames miss the mark, the in-house art team can draw them for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is StoryboardHero free?
There is a 7-day free trial with no credit card. After that, plans start at $19 per month for one seat with unlimited scripts and storyboards and 100 premium images, and the Solo plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Can I brand StoryboardHero exports as my own?
Yes. The PDF storyboards carry only your branding and do not mention the tool or AI anywhere, which is why agencies use it for client pitches. You can also share password-protected links.
Can StoryboardHero use my existing script?
Yes. You can upload a script, including as a CSV, and it turns the script into scenes and frames. You can also generate a script from a brief if you are starting from scratch.
