"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."

Cut detection
"40 shots detected in seconds from a feature film. Helps me pre-visualise my edit structure. I run cut detection on my rushes and get an instant overview of the shots. Saves hours in the editing room."
Tobias H. — Documentary filmmaker, Hamburg  ★★★★☆
Film analysis
"I use it with my students to teach shot analysis. We detect cuts in a Godard film and export a board. It makes the exercise visual and engaging in seconds."
Lucie L. — Film teacher, Vienna  ★★★★★
Animatic
"A rough animatic in 20 minutes. I prepped my entire short film animatic here before the shoot. Drag-reorder shots, add fade transitions, export video. Absolutely nothing else free does all that."
Clara F. — Short film director, Brussels  ★★★★★
Frame capture
"For fashion films every frame is precious. I use it to find that one perfect mood frame to guide the whole visual direction of a shoot."
Mihaly K. — Fashion film director, Budapest  ★★★★★
Image import
"I don't even use the video part — I import my panels directly as images and use the storyboard grid to layout my chapter. It replaced my usual InDesign workflow."
Jade P. — Graphic novel artist, Nantes  ★★★★★
Storyboard import — now with Storyboard Slice…
"I had dozens of old storyboard sheets scanned as JPEGs. SLICE detected every panel automatically — I just selected the ones I wanted and sent them straight into my project. Game changer."
Marco V. — Animation director, Milan  ★★★★★
Film analysis & creation
"The tool I've been dreaming of. For analyzing films as much as creating them, Storyboard Express didn't exist a year ago — and has since become INDISPENSABLE. Great design, useful tools. And it's free. Thank you!"
Diana K. — Film Director  ★★★★★
Science lab
"A free tool for storyboard artists, just like Photopea is for graphic designers. I love it! It can even create slideshows with family photos and sound. Extraordinary!!!"
Karine B. — Environmental engineer, Gometz-le-Châtel  ★★★★★

StoryBoard Express is an online storyboard creator and video analysis tool designed for filmmakers, video editors and designers.

Upload a video or images, automatically detect cuts, extract frames, organize shots into clean storyboard layouts, then export stills or generate animatics — directly in your browser.

You can import storyboard images — simply drop or select any existing storyboard PNG/JPG and each panel is automatically extracted and added to your project.

Storyboard SLICE® — Got an existing storyboard image? Use Storyboard Slice to automatically detect and cut out individual panels from any storyboard PNG/JPG. Select the panels you want, then send them directly into your current project.

Generate automatic slideshows and animatics in seconds. Drop your shots, hit the button, done. Export a color script in one click by scaling thumbnails to reveal the color palette of your entire sequence at a glance.
