AI Character Consistency for Professional Storyboards

StoryboardHero is an AI storyboard generator that keeps characters consistent across every frame, scene, and camera angle. Using reference photos or text descriptions, it preserves facial features, clothing, and style while allowing creative flexibility. Unlike generic AI tools, StoryboardHero is built for professional storyboards where visual continuity matters.

Generate storyboards where characters look identical across every scene, angle, and emotion. StoryboardHero’s advanced character consistency technology solves the #1 problem plaguing AI storyboard tools.

Why AI Storyboards Struggle with Character Consistency

Most AI storyboard generators create a different-looking character in every frame. However, professional storyboards require visual continuity to tell coherent stories and impress clients.

Common AI Character Problems:

  • Characters change faces between scenes
  • Clothing and style shift unexpectedly
  • Age, build, or hair color becomes inconsistent
  • Clients can’t follow the story due to character confusion

Therefore, creative professionals waste hours manually correcting AI outputs or hiring expensive artists to redraw scenes.

“Before StoryboardHero, we spent more time fixing character inconsistencies than actually storyboarding.” — Video Producer, Creative Agency

Frequently Asked Questions: Character Consistency

An AI Storyboard Generator is an online platform to create storyboards using AI. It is now possible to generate scripts and images separately using AI platforms but StoryboardHero goes beyond that in several ways: creation of structured script (including voice over, camera angle, transitions,,,), seamless integration of script generation with storyboard structure, options to have our team sketch images if you are not satisfied with AI images, and more. Instead of using different tools to generate AI storyboards, StoryboardHero provides a simple and specialized solution.

Artificial intelligence tools will help improve creativity and productivity in many sectors. For video agencies and video creators, being an early adopter of an AI Storyboard Generator can help you save time when delivering to clients, improving their experience with you. It can also enable you to pitch more prospects with storyboards and win more business.

Yes. You have the full rights to use the storyboards generated by StoryboardHero with your clients. The PDF storyboards you can generate in the platform have only your branding and do not mention "AI storyboard" or StoryboardHero anywhere.

AI technology is evolving fast but it’s still facing some limitations (for instance when you generate images with multiple actions). That’s why StoryboardHero offers options to help generate full storyboards. In the scripting part, you can edit the scripts or regenerate them. In the image generation part, you can also regenerate images or use our team of storyboard sketch artists when needed. We keep improving StoryboardHero as AI technology evolves to make it the perfect AI Storyboard Generator. Your suggestions are also welcome.

Yes, StoryboardHero includes a script-to-storyboard feature. But our AI storyboard generator goes beyond just script-to-storyboard. With StoryboardHero, you can generate the script as well: just input a short brief and our AI will generate a script divided in scenes for you. From there you move on to the next step which is a script-to-storyboard feature to get your visuals.

Our tool is very straightforward. If you already have a script ready, simply input the script into the platform, and it will automatically generate a storyboard for you in a matter of minutes. If you don’t have a script, you can put in a short brief and our AI will come up with a script for you. From there, you can move on to generate visuals for your storyboard.

Yes, simply indicate your desired style in the project brief, our AI will create storyboards in that style.

If you already have a script, you can upload a csv file to the platform. We have a simple script template that makes it super easy for you to indicate to our AI what your script is about.

Alternatively, you can also use our tool to get some ideas for your video script and storyboard. Just write some details about the project brief, choose your desired duration, video style and video type in the user-friendly interface. You will also have the option to add a link to a reference video.

It depends on the type of video you want to create. We provide a wide array of styles. For example, for 2D animation videos, you can choose from 15 different styles including pencil sketch, comic book, anime, photo realistic and more.

Mere minutes 😉

100%! Our tool simply makes it faster and easier to flesh out your ideas. You have complete control over the style, duration and the content. You can modify the script, delete redundant frames, add new frames and reorder them as much as you like.

Definitely. You have the option to share a link to the storyboard with your team or clients to comment on. You can also export it as a pdf or motion picture screenplay.

Unfortunately, our tool is not able to offer suggestions at the moment.

Yes, you can! At any time, you can make adjustments to the generated results. If you are not 100% happy with what you have, you can regenerate the entire script or individual frames. The same goes for storyboards. Once our AI tool has created the storyboard, you can ask it to re-generate the whole project or a single frame. If what you have in mind goes beyond the capability of AI, our in-house designers are at your service. They will be able to help you draw that specific scene.

Definitely. We believe you’ll love the tool even more because of that. Our goal is to make it easy for anyone to create storyboards, so rest assured, you don’t need to be a pro to use it. In fact, we have many clients who are not designers and producers. They love the tool because it’s so easy to use and can bring abstract ideas into something more concrete and tangible.
