CineoBoard is storyboard software for people who have to shoot the thing. Script, frames, shot list and animatic stay on one record — not a PDF in Drive, a sheet in Excel, and a Premiere file that already disagrees with both.
Who it is for
It is not a classroom clip-art maker and not a call-sheet suite. If you are choosing among named tools, start at CineoBoard vs the rest or the 2026 buying guide.
- Directors and DoPs who board coverage, not comics
- Agency and in-house teams delivering client boards
- Producers who need a shot list that matches the pictures
- Small crews who still have to work on a plane or a scout
What you can do in one workspace
Open the live demo for a sample commercial. No account required.
- Import Fountain, Final Draft or Word and split a scene into beats
- Board frames, then keep editing them — nothing is a one-shot render
- Reuse characters, locations and pack shots from an element library
- Attach shot size, lens, movement, duration and audio to every frame
- Play an animatic and export MP4 + PDF + CSV from the same version
- Send a client review link with no paid seat for the reviewer
- Draw offline in Reframe, then sync to the project
How it compares, in one paragraph
Boords is a solid cloud agency tool; CineoBoard is local-first and programmable. StudioBinder owns call sheets; CineoBoard owns the pre-visual document. Storyboarder.ai is strong at pass one; CineoBoard is built for pass eleven. Wonder Unit Storyboarder is the best free drawing pad; it stops at the file.

FAQ
What is the best storyboard software for a small crew?
The one that keeps frames and shot data together and still works without Wi-Fi. That is the job CineoBoard was built for. Free drawing apps are fine until a second person has to shoot from your board.
Does CineoBoard include an AI storyboard generator?
It will break a script into beats and help fill shot fields. It will not silently regenerate a locked sequence and break continuity. Read what generators get wrong.
Can I try it without paying?
Yes. The interactive demo is a full workspace on sample data. Paid plans start at $30/month USD.
