Storyboard Tools is an organisational tool, primarily of interest to film directors, storyboard artists and film-makers generally. Images from various sources may be used to build up an entire storyboard project on the computer screen which may then be printed in a form portable enough to be taken on set. Storyboard Tools stores text along with the images. Once a project is complete this text can be used to automatically generate tables of information which may used when filming.

In addition, a web page can be generated from the project at the click of a button. Storyboard Tools has its own drawing tool with specialised features for storyboarding. A "visualiser" program lets you view images in sequence, and play around with a number of editing effects including fades and dissolves.
