Guides
Plain answers about contact sheets. Every guide has the sheet maker at the top, so you can try your own photos as you read.
- Without LightroomMake a print-ready contact sheet PDF from a folder of photos without Lightroom or Photoshop: free, in the browser, with filenames, dates and camera details.
- From iPhone photosTurn iPhone photos into a printable contact sheet PDF with dates and filenames. How HEIC works, which browsers can read it, and how to get JPEGs if yours can't.
- Photoshop and Bridge alternativeMake a PDF contact sheet like Photoshop's Contact Sheet II or Adobe Bridge's Output workspace, without installing either: captions from EXIF, any paper, in the browser.
- Proof sheets for a shootMake proof sheets for clients to choose from: numbered frames, filenames, sensible thumbnail sizes and a PDF that prints and emails well. Nothing uploaded.
- Film scans and negativesMake a contact sheet from scanned film, with film-strip frames, sprocket holes and edge numbers, or a plain index print for your archive. TIFF scans welcome.
- School and team proof sheetsMake proof sheets for school, club and team photos: one section per class or team folder, order numbers under every photo, and no uploading of children's photos.
- From RAW filesMake a contact sheet straight from camera RAW files using the JPEG preview each camera stores inside: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic and DNG.
- What is a contact sheet?A contact sheet is a page of small prints of every frame in a set. Where it comes from, what to put under each frame, how many to fit on a page, and how to make one.
