From match screenshot to editable board

Match screenshot with detected players and pitch reference points
The screenshot: identify players and pitch landmarks
Mapped player positions on the editable football tactics board
The board: review and refine the mapped positions

Recreate the moment without starting from scratch

Upload a match screenshot and let AI detect players and pitch landmarks. Map the visible players onto the pitch to get a starting point for your analysis.

Refine the picture

Review the result before building your explanation. Correct team assignments, adjust player positions, or select matching pitch landmarks to refine the mapping. AI gives you a starting point you can refine.

Turn the moment into an explanation

Open the mapped scene in the tactics board to add arrows, shapes, and text, or send it to Animation Studio to show what happens next. In the desktop animator, use the left-rail tool to map a screenshot and start a new animation from the result.

Watch the full workflow

Follow one match screenshot all the way through: detect and map the players, correct the result, then build a tactical animation from it.

Frequently asked questions

Which screenshots work best?

Use a clear match screenshot with visible players and recognisable pitch markings. Wide views usually provide more useful context than close-ups. Blurred images, overlays, and hidden pitch markings can make detection and mapping harder.

Will it recreate every player on the pitch?

It works from what is visible in the screenshot. Players outside the frame or obscured by other players cannot be reliably recreated. You can add missing players and adjust positions when reviewing the board.

Is the AI result always accurate?

No. Detection, team assignments, and perspective mapping can need correction. Treat the result as a starting point: review the scene and refine it before using it in your analysis.

Can I correct the pitch mapping myself?

Yes. Select matching pitch landmarks on the screenshot and apply the mapping. Well-spaced reference points across the image help you refine the result. You can also correct teams and player positions.

Where can I use Screenshot-to-Board?

Use the standalone browser tool, or open Screenshot-to-Board from the left rail in the desktop Animation Studio for Mac and Windows (Windows beta). On desktop, the workflow opens in an overlay and sends the mapped board directly into a new animation draft.

Is my screenshot uploaded for AI processing?

AI inference runs locally in your browser or desktop app. The browser downloads the analysis models when needed; desktop bundles them locally. Sign-in and membership verification still require an internet connection.

Can I turn the result into an animation?

Yes. In the browser, send the board to Animation Studio or the tactics board. In desktop Animation Studio, review the mapped result and choose whether to save your current animation first or replace it. The imported scene becomes the starting point for a new animation.

Is Screenshot-to-Board included in my membership?

Yes. Both monthly and annual memberships include Screenshot-to-Board and the other DrawTactics tools. Compare membership plans.
