Contact Sheet Maker

Generate a printable contact sheet: a page of thumbnails with filenames, laid out in the rows and columns you choose. Photographers have used these for proofing since film, and they remain the fastest way to review a shoot on paper. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

Questions

Common questions.

Are filenames included?

Yes, captioned under each thumbnail, which is what makes a contact sheet useful for selecting frames.

How many images fit on a page?

It depends on the rows and columns you set. More per page means smaller thumbnails, so balance overview against detail.

Which output should I choose?

PDF for printing and multi-page sets; JPG when you want a single shareable image.
