Boords

What is Boords?

Boords is a storyboard tool built around an easy-to-use interface, collaboration features, and an AI Storyboard Generator that produces finished storyboards without any drawing skills. It removes repetitive tasks, supports quick changes, simplifies client feedback, and keeps every storyboard organized in one place.

Who created Boords?

Boords was founded by Lewis Darby, who also founded Yard B. The tool has been praised for making storyboarding faster, more adaptable, and easier to collaborate on.

What is Boords used for?

Storyboarding workflow

• Drag-and-drop interface for building scenes and characters
• Automated tasks like rearranging frames, so time goes to creative work instead of formatting
• Quick sketching of ideas with scripts attached, plus real-time iteration on changes

AI features

• AI Storyboard Generator for fast storyboard creation
• AI Script Generator for complete scripts, including direction, sound, and action notes
• AI Image Generator that turns text prompts into scenes, with multiple style options

Collaboration and feedback

• Real-time feedback and easy iteration on changes
• Review notes to improve communication with design teams
• Versioning, commenting, and presentation tools to track feedback

Sharing and organization

• Export storyboards as PDFs or share them online
• Remote collaboration with teams and clients
• All storyboards kept in one place for smoother client presentations and less back-and-forth

Boords acts as a central hub for the storyboarding process — from initial sketches and scripts through client review and final export — so the focus stays on the creative side of a project rather than on formatting and logistics.
