What’s New?
Copy Sharing Link
Quickly copy the sharing link without switching views.
Control What Viewers See
Show or hide frame numbers, labels, icons, image borders, completed frames, and switch between grid or animatic mode, all from the Share panel.
Manage Access While Presenting
Enable or disable comments, add a passphrase, and choose whether to show the version number, without leaving presentation mode.
Just click the
Share
button in the top-right corner of presentation mode (while logged into your account) to access these settings.

We've completely redesigned our animatic timeline to give you more control and precision when creating animatics. This update makes timing your storyboard frames easier than ever, helping you produce professional-quality animatics that perfectly match your creative vision.
animatic-timeline
What's New?
Draggable Preview Frames
Now you can directly drag frames in the timeline to adjust their timing. No more switching between different controls
Real-Time Duration Display
See exact frame durations as you adjust, giving you precise control over your timing.
Unified Interface
Previously separate controls for frame images and durations are now combined into one intuitive interface, streamlining your workflow.
Whether you're timing frames to match a voiceover, syncing with a music track, or just fine-tuning the pacing of your storyboard, the enhanced animatic timeline gives you the control you need to create perfect animatics every time.
This feature is available now to all Boords users. Open the animatic view in any of your storyboards to start using it!
We've just launched two powerful enhancements to our PDF export options that give you more control over your storyboard presentations.
pdf-export-options
🖼️ Adjustable Image Size in PDFs
You can now fine-tune the size of your storyboard images in exported PDFs using the new "Image size" percentage slider (shown in the export dialog above). This gives you the perfect balance between visuals and text, especially when space is at a premium.
How it helps you:
  • Fit more frames on a single page for comprehensive client presentations
  • Allocate more space for detailed notes and directions when needed
  • Create the ideal layout for different project phases and audiences
  • Save time by avoiding manual image resizing in other applications
✏️ White Placeholders for Empty Frames
Need to add hand-drawn elements to your storyboards? We've added a new "Use placeholder for empty frames" option (visible in the Frame settings section of the export dialog) to export empty frames as clean white spaces, perfect for printing and manual sketching.
How it helps you:
  • Print storyboards with placeholder frames for hand-drawing or annotation
  • Maintain consistent frame numbering and layout while working with partial storyboards
  • Create hybrid digital/traditional storyboarding workflows
  • Provide clients with partially completed storyboards for collaborative ideation
How to use these features:
  1. Click "Export" and select "PDF"
  2. Adjust the "Image size" percentage to your desired size
  3. Toggle on "Use placeholder for empty frames" if needed
  4. Preview the changes in real-time before downloading
These features are now available on all plans.
