What is Our PDF Storyboard Generator?
A creative tool that transforms static PDF pages into a dynamic visual storyboard, helping you see the big picture and narrate your story.
From Pages to a Visual Narrative
Our PDF Storyboard Generator takes the individual pages of your document and lays them out in a sequence of visual panels. This allows you to review the flow of a presentation, plan the shots for a video based on a script, or get a high-level overview of a dense document.
With customizable layouts (Grid, Film Strip, etc.), automatic OCR captioning, and various styling options, you can create a professional-grade storyboard tailored to your project's needs. It's the perfect tool for creators, presenters, and strategists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our PDF Storyboard Generator.
Is it safe to upload my PDF files?
Yes, absolutely. Your privacy is guaranteed. The entire storyboard generation and OCR process happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, so your data remains secure and private.
How accurate is the Auto-Extract (OCR) feature?
The OCR is powered by Tesseract.js and is highly accurate for clear, typed text. Accuracy may vary for handwritten notes, very small fonts, or low-quality scans. We always recommend reviewing the auto-generated captions and making edits as needed.
How does "Download All Pages as Images" work?
This option will trigger a separate download for each page of your original PDF, rendered as a high-quality PNG image. It does this one by one, without creating a zip file, which can be useful for importing individual scenes into other software.
Can I edit the storyboard after it's generated?
The generated preview is for visualization. To make changes, simply adjust the settings in the control panel (e.g., change layout, edit captions) and click "Generate Storyboard" again to see the updated version before you download.
