What is AI Storyboard Generator?
Boords is storyboard software built specifically for video agencies and brand teams who are tired of chaotic pre-production. If you’ve ever lost a weekend wrestling with “v3_FINAL_REAL.pdf” files or hunting through email threads for client feedback, Boords solves that pain. It brings scripts, storyboards, animatics, comments, and approvals into one shared workspace, so your team can focus on creativity—not formatting or version control.
Since 2015, Boords has helped over 1 million storyboards get reviewed, revised, and approved smoothly. Trusted by studios like ENTHRAL, CatCow, and Umault, it turns what used to be the most stressful part of video production into a fast, collaborative, and even enjoyable process. And yes—it’s free to start, with no credit card required.
