Our verdict on MakeStoryboard
MakeStoryboard is an online storyboard platform for filmmakers, animators, producers, agencies, illustrators, and creative teams. It organizes frame-based projects with uploaded images or sketches, customizable fields, scene descriptions, multiple aspect ratios, and drag-and-drop rearrangement. Its feature set suits small teams that need to turn visual ideas into reviewable storyboards and simple animatics without moving beyond a focused web workflow.
The published plans show a free creator option alongside two paid monthly plans. Individual costs $12 per month for a single user and adds custom fields, PDF export, link sharing, commenting, and password protection. Team costs $48 per month and includes unlimited storyboards, custom fields, a 50MB maximum upload image size, password protection, versioning, and storyboard duplication. The free tier is useful for smaller projects, but its six-frame limit makes it better suited to short concepts or early planning than larger boards.
MakeStoryboard’s strongest area is the connection between storyboard creation and review. Users can sketch or upload images, arrange scenes and frames, manage versions, control frame duration, and play back animatics. PDF, MP4, and PNG export options support different review and delivery needs, while comments, annotations, simultaneous collaboration, and passphrase-protected sharing links support client or team feedback. Choose it if you want a concentrated storyboard workspace with basic animation and collaboration features. Consider another option if you need a native desktop or mobile platform, or if six frames is too restrictive for your free workflow.
