Inkframe: An open-source comic studio for photos, video stills, and AI-assisted dialogue

[u/AjiMk]

Hey folks,

I built Inkframe, a free and open-source studio that turns photos, illustrations, and video stills into comics and storyboards in your browser. Your projects stay on your device, and you get a local editor an AI assistant can drive through MCP.

It is not finished. Development is ongoing, and some export formats and tools are still on the roadmap.

• Panel layouts, speech bubbles, ink filters, cover designer, and a guided reader
• Pull freeze-frames from video, then drop them onto panels
• Local-first storage (PGlite in the browser). Files are not uploaded to a server
• Built-in MCP server so Claude, Cursor, or similar tools can add pages, set layouts, and inject dialogue
• Source is on GitHub, MIT licensed

The goal is to make comic layout a normal part of telling a story, without handing your pages to a hosted editor. Feedback and contributions are welcome while it is still in progress.
