Refine
Refine any shot without redrawing it
Mark the part of a frame you want to change and AI regenerates just that area. The rest of the frame stays exactly as the client approved, so a small note never triggers a full redo of the storyboard.

Camera angles
Explore new camera angles without starting over
Switch the angle on an approved frame while keeping the shot, style, and character context intact. Move from one composition to another without rebuilding the storyboard from scratch.

@mentions
Reuse your cast, locations and props in every frame
Add your characters, locations and props to the library once, then type @ to drop them into any prompt. Every frame keeps the same faces and places, so the board your client signs off matches the one you shoot.

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!
Since 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.
Styles
Match the visual style to the stage of the pitch
Keep early concepts loose in sketch style so clients focus on story instead of wardrobe, then switch to clean vector frames or photorealistic pre-vis when it is time to pitch.
app.boords.com
Script to Storyboard
Start from a script, a sketch, or 3M+ stock assets
Paste a screenplay, treatment, or brief to break it into storyboard frames automatically. Generate visuals from prompts, turn a quick doodle into a finished frame, or pull from 3M+ stock photos and icons.
app.boords.com
Produce
Build animatics and export for the shoot or edit suite
Preview pacing with audio before the edit starts. Send the approved board as a PDF, deck or MP4, or open it in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or After Effects with every frame at its signed-off timing.
app.boords.com
Collaborate
Get client sign-off on one link, without the email chain
Send a presentation link so clients can comment frame by frame and approve the board in their browser. No client login required, and every version and sign-off stays on the record.

Before Boords, storyboarding was time-consuming and technical. Now I can focus exclusively on creative decisions and make my work better!
Boords helps us spend time on the creative, not the formatting. It's every creative's dream.
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.
What Is an AI Storyboard Generator?
An AI storyboard generator is software that turns a script or text prompt into sequenced storyboard frames using AI, so video teams can plan a shoot shot by shot without drawing by hand. Describe a scene in plain language and Boords generates the frame in sketch, vector, or realistic style in seconds.
Unlike standalone image generators or static storyboard templates, Boords keeps every image inside the storyboard your team and clients review. Reference saved characters, locations, and props with @mentions, refine a single region of an approved shot, or mix AI frames with uploaded stills and 3M+ stock assets.
You can start building storyboards in Boords for free, with no credit card required. The free plan includes five active storyboards and unlimited manual frames. Free-plan exports, including PDFs and slide images, carry a Boords watermark. The images you generate in your frames do not. See pricing for paid options.
Where Boords fits for video agencies and brand teams is between the brief and the shoot. Write or import your script in the storyboard software, break it into frames, and test pacing as a timed animatic before a single camera rolls or an animator opens a timeline.
Catching structural problems on the board is fast; catching them on set or in post is expensive. When clients comment directly on frames and sign off on a single shared link, your team avoids version chaos and surprise revisions downstream.
Boords also includes Boords Agent, the first pre-production agent. Ask it to import a script, generate frames from your reference library, restyle a sequence, or translate frame copy inside the board your clients sign off.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can see sample storyboards on this page without an account, but generating your own needs a free Boords account. Signing up takes seconds and needs no credit card. The free plan includes sample AI image credits, so you can generate your first frames straight away.
Yes, Boords is free to start with no credit card required. The free plan includes five active storyboards, with unlimited manual frames in each. AI image generation uses credits, so unlimited frames does not mean unlimited AI images. Free image credits are a sample allowance, not a monthly subscription allowance. Free-plan exports, including PDFs and slide images, carry a Boords watermark. The images you generate in your frames do not. See the pricing page for paid plans and monthly image credits.
Paste or import a screenplay, treatment, or brief into Boords and the AI storyboard generator breaks it into scenes and creates a frame for each beat. You can then generate images from prompts, pull from 3M+ stock photos and icons, or upload your own stills. Conversion creates a snapshot of your script; later edits to the script do not automatically update existing frames, so update the affected frames or convert the revised draft into a new board.
Save your characters, locations, and props to your team's Asset Library once, then type @ in any prompt to reference them by name. Boords uses those visual references as context when generating new shots or changing camera angles, and the Refine tool lets you edit a specific part of a frame without regenerating the rest of the image.
Yes. Describe a scene in plain language and Boords generates the frame in sketch, vector, or realistic style in seconds. You can also turn a rough doodle into a finished frame, pull from 3M+ stock images and icons, or upload reference photos, so anyone on a production or agency team can build a client-ready board.
Most AI storyboard generators stop at making images. Boords is built for the full agency pre-production workflow: break a script into scenes, generate frames with a reusable cast, collect frame-specific client comments on one shared link, build a timed animatic, and export production-ready files once the board is signed off.
A storyboard template is a blank layout you fill in by hand. A storyboard maker is software for arranging frames, shot notes, and scripts digitally. An AI storyboard generator creates the frame artwork from a script or prompt. Boords combines all three: start from a template, arrange and review frames with your team, and generate or upload visuals in the same place.
Boords exports storyboards as high-resolution PDFs, a deck for PowerPoint or Google Slides, individual frame images, MP4 animatics, CSV shot lists, a Word script table, and timelines for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects. You can also share a presentation link with optional passphrase protection for client review.
