Boords

Description

Boords is a web-based pre-production platform for planning scripts, storyboards, and animatics in one place. Teams build storyboards frame by frame, add scripts and shot notes, and turn them into animatics with audio and timing, replacing scattered PDFs and rebuilt templates with consistent boards every time.

Collaboration and client review are central. Work is shared through a link that requires no login, so clients can comment in context and approve versions, while version history records who approved what, when, and on which version. Multiple people can edit in real time, and finished work exports to PDF, video, or images.

AI features speed up the workflow: script ingestion converts scripts into structured storyboards, and AI image generation turns text prompts into storyboard frames while keeping characters consistent across scenes. AI features run on external services, are not used to train models, and can be disabled account-wide. An API and signed event notifications let teams connect Boords to the rest of their pipeline.

Boords runs in any modern browser with no installation, uses encryption in transit and at rest, and offers plans from a single-user tier up to agency team plans with more seats, higher monthly AI image allowances, and advanced controls, plus an enterprise option with SSO and custom terms.
