Everything You Need Before Production
Pre-pro is where productions are won or lost. Get it right and the rest flows. Get it wrong and you're fixing it in post, or worse, back to square one with the client.
Boords keeps everything in one place. Write scripts with the two-column AV editor, then turn them into storyboards in minutes. Rough out frames with our AI storyboard generator to explore ideas fast, or upload your own artwork.
Generate shot lists automatically. Build animatics to test timing before you commit. From script to boards to sign-off. One tool, not five.
Whether it's a 30-second spot, a brand campaign, or a longer-form piece, Boords handles the creative planning that happens before production.
Share boards with clients via presentation-ready exports or live review links. Get frame-by-frame notes in one place, with no more hunting through email for that one comment. Know exactly which version was approved, and prove it.
3,000+ agencies and studios use Boords because it's built for visual storytelling, not adapted from PM tools designed for something else entirely. New to the process? Read the pre-production process explained, step by step.
11 years of preproduction sign-off
Hear from teams that switched from email threads and Final_v3.pdf to one place for storyboards, animatics, and client sign-off.
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.
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.
Our studio runs on Boords. We can quickly draw up ideas, add in a script, receive real-time feedback and rapidly iterate changes. It's really a game changer.
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 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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Pre-production software is built for the planning that happens before production: scriptwriting, storyboarding, shot lists, and team alignment. Unlike PM tools you've tried to adapt, it's purpose-built for visual planning. Map out every scene, get everyone aligned, and lock creative decisions before production starts.
Everything you need from script to sign-off: a two-column AV script editor with automatic timing, AI image generation to rough out frames fast, manual storyboard tools, animatics with audio sync, automatic shot lists, frame-by-frame commenting, client review links, version tracking, and client-ready exports in multiple formats.
Boords scales from quick social spots to feature-length work. Whether you're planning a 30-second commercial, a brand campaign, a documentary, or a longer-form piece, the workflow is the same: script, storyboard, align, approve. Teams of 2 or 50 can work together without the usual chaos.
Boords isn't a PM tool adapted for video. It's built specifically for creative pre-pro. Purpose-built storyboarding, AI to rough out frames fast, script-to-storyboard in one workflow, and collaboration designed around how agencies and studios actually work. No workarounds. No forcing a square peg.
Yes. Boords has a free plan, and comments, guest review and approval statuses all work on it. Upgrade for custom branding, version history, password-protected share links, MP4 and bulk export, and more active storyboards.
