We tried all the storyboarding tools out there. Boords ended up as our preferred choice because of its straight forward approach, light weight interface and streamlined remote collaboration features.
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.
Boords eliminates menial, repetitive tasks so we can focus on the fun, creative parts of the process.

Boords is an essential part of our workflow. The ability to share our storyboards with clients gives them the opportunity to visualise the project earlier, give feedback and be assured the project is heading in the right direction.
Boords helps us streamline our storyboarding process and makes it easy to produce storyboards the way we want to. Our clients can provide feedback easily and it's effortless for us to make changes as needed, letting us focus on the creative.
Boords allows us to keep all our storyboards in one place. It's also very easy to add review notes to share with our design team right inside Boords, which streamlines communication.
The flexibility and ease of Boords has led to such a smooth process when it comes to storyboarding, we can't imagine doing it any other way.
Before 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 become a vital part of our workflow. We love how easy it is to create storyboards, collaborate on them, and get feedback from clients. It has made our studio more efficient, more productive, and happier!

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.
