Pre-production board

Free online storyboard software

Create a storyboard from a script, screenplay file, or text prompt

LlamaGen is a free storyboard creator for turning scripts, campaign ideas, lessons, and shot tables into review-ready visual scenes, sketches, frames, and shot lists.

Primary audience

Filmmakers, ad teams, animators, educators, and creators

Use LlamaGen when you need to generate storyboards from a script or text prompt, import a screenplay file, and review framing, pacing, and scene order before production.

Generate a storyboard

Scripts stay abstract

Text alone makes it hard to align on camera angle, action, and scene order.

Review takes too long

Teams lose time explaining shots in meetings instead of looking at a shared board.

Style drifts early

Mood, character placement, and pacing drift when the first visual plan is too vague.

The aha moment

Before

A rough script, scattered reference images, and a production team guessing the same scene differently.

After

A structured storyboard with scenes, shots, camera intent, and visual frames ready for review.

Create storyboard workflow
  1. 1Start with a script, text prompt, scene summary, or supported screenplay file.
  2. 2Generate a storyboard with scene beats, shot list structure, and visual direction.
  3. 3Review sketches, frames, camera intent, pacing, and missing shots online.
  4. 4Move the board into film, ad, video, animation, comic, or presentation production.
Pre-production ROI
Minutes
First visual plan

Create a first storyboard draft before hiring artists or opening editing software.

Shared review artifact

Give writers, directors, clients, and artists the same sequence to discuss.

Workflow example

Script or screenplay file to visual sequence

Paste a campaign script or upload a screenplay file, then review scene beats, shot direction, and frames before anyone spends on final production.

What you leave with

One board the writer, director, and client can point at: pacing, framing, and missing shots in the same sequence.

Where LlamaGen fits

Compared with Boords, Storyboarder, and Canva

This is a head-term SERP with category leaders. LlamaGen is the script-to-board option when you also want the next step into comic or video. We do not claim agency sign-off or an 11-year pre-production brand.

Use the other tools if sign-off or templates are the job. Use LlamaGen if the job is getting a script on its feet as a board.

Related writing workflow

Move the draft into screenplay form.

Use the AI Screenplay Editor when a script, fiction draft, storyboard brief, video idea, or canvas note needs proper scene headings, action, dialogue, parentheticals, cover pages, outlines, beats, and collaboration-ready revisions.

From script or file to a board the crew can review

3

Lock the world

Keep characters, locations, props, and style consistent across the board.

4

Why lo-fi storyboard grids work

Clarity for script-to-board review

Finished-looking frames make people argue style too early. A lo-fi grid keeps the room on composition, shot order, camera intent, and story flow.
