AI storyboard generator questions

Practical answers before you turn references and a brief into a storyboard.

Can I use this AI storyboard generator for free?

You can start with a free trial. Storyboard generation, history, retries, downloads, and video handoff use the logged-in CreatOK workspace and available plan quota.

What inputs does the storyboard tool need?

The workspace expects at least one reference image and a video brief. You can also choose panel count, frame ratio, black-and-white or color style, storyboard language, dialogue, duration, and extra instructions.

Does it generate the final video?

This tool generates storyboard previews and storyboard sheet images. From a finished storyboard image, you can create a video prompt and continue in CreatOK's video generator.

Which image formats are supported?

Use JPG, PNG, or WebP reference images. The full workspace supports up to 16 reference images, with the same upload limits used by CreatOK image tools.

Can I control the storyboard layout?

Yes. The app supports 9:16, 16:9, and 1:1 frames, plus 4, 6, 9, 12, or 16 panels. It can generate black-and-white or color storyboard styles.

Are my reference images and briefs private?

Your inputs are used to create the requested result in your workspace. Avoid uploading confidential material or content you do not have rights to use.
