Without Boords storyboarding was the most painful part of the production process, with Boords it's the most painless. Super easy to use and speeds up the pre-production process immeasurably.

Easy to use, intuitive and flexible, Boords is the perfect tool for the biggest part of a video production. We can shape and collaborate on ideas then share them with our clients so they're fully understood.
Boords makes it easy to keep track of versions and makes the storyboarding process more collaborative. It's the type of tool that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
Collaborate
Online storyboard collaboration your whole team will love
Boords is the storyboarding software that keeps your team aligned from first draft to final sign-off. Share secure links for client presentations, collect frame-specific feedback, and track approval status — so everyone knows exactly where things stand.
Client presentations without the meeting
Send secure presentation links and control access — the perfect tool for client presentations and reviewBefore Boords, tracking feedback was a mess. With Boords we've got versioning, commenting, and presenting all in one place. It helps us with client communication so much.
Boords has drastically changed our workflow. Before, we spent so much time creating storyboards that we were happy to put in front of clients. Now everyone in our business can create storyboards that are visually pleasing. I can't recommend it enough.
Such a great tool. It helps us focus in what storyboards are for: presenting our ideas to clients, rather than dealing with the mess that comes with the back and forth!
Plan
From script to shot lists: plan every scene before you shoot
Keep your script and storyboard frames in sync throughout the pre-production process. Create storyboards with detailed shot lists, customize fields for your workflow, and make sure every camera angle is accounted for before you step on set.
Script and visuals, side by side
Write scripts alongside frames so your team can see the full picture at every stage of the storyboarding processSince we got Boords, we haven't looked back! We'd been working with custom PDF templates and we knew there had to be a better way, and we found it! It's intuitive, it's visually pleasing, and it's saved us a hell of a lot of time.
Boords helps us spend time on the creative, not the formatting. It's every creative's dream.
Making storyboards is a fun and creative process… until you need to shift some frames around! Boords is an excellent tool for letting you focus on your story while allowing for rapid changes as the creative process takes its inevitable twists and turns.

We built Boords because pre-production was broken
I'm James, founder of Boords. Before this, I co-founded Animade, an animation studio in London.
Back then, we built storyboards in Photoshop. Or Google Slides. Or InDesign. Whatever got the job done. But tracking versions was a nightmare. "FinalFinal_v3_USE_THIS.pdf"... you know the drill.
Client notes lived in email threads. Nobody could find the version we'd actually locked. Every storyboard looked different because we were rebuilding templates from scratch each time, manually reordering frames, fiddling with layouts. We'd waste hours on formatting instead of ideas.
So in 2015, I built the first version of Boords to fix it. Consistent boards every time. Notes in context, not buried in inboxes. One link to share, and no more guessing which version got approved.
11 years and over 2 million storyboards later, Boords is still independent, still small, and still built around one idea: pre-production should be where you do your best thinking, not where you lose hours to process.
