    How it works

    Drop your photos

    A whole batch at once.

    Set columns and thumbnail size

    Filenames underneath each one, optional.

    Create and download

    One image with every photo labeled, ready to review or share.

    Every photo at a glance, with its filename

    A contact sheet is a single image that shows a whole batch of photos as small, labeled thumbnails — the digital equivalent of the printed proof sheets photographers once used to review an entire roll of film without printing each frame separately. It's a fast way to review a batch, pick out the ones worth using, or send someone an overview instead of dozens of separate files.

    Filenames under each thumbnail

    Unlike a plain collage, each thumbnail here can carry its original filename underneath it, which matters when you need to reference or request a specific photo by name afterward — "the one in IMG_2041" is a lot easier to say when the sheet shows it right there.

    Columns and thumbnail size

    More columns fit more photos across, useful for a quick overview of a large batch; a bigger thumbnail size shows more detail in each one, handy when you need to actually judge the photos rather than just identify them. There's no single right combination — it depends on whether you're scanning for a specific shot or comparing a handful closely.

    A quick way to hand off a batch

    Sending someone a single labeled sheet instead of a folder of individual files makes it much faster for them to see everything at once and tell you which ones they want, without downloading or opening each photo one by one.

    Privacy

    Every photo is laid out locally in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded.

    Frequently asked questions

    What's the difference between this and a collage?
    A contact sheet can label each thumbnail with its filename, which a plain collage doesn't — useful when you need to reference specific photos afterward.
    How many photos can I put on one sheet?
    As many as you like, though a very large batch produces a bigger image and takes longer to generate.
    Can I turn off the filenames?
    Yes, uncheck the filenames option before creating the sheet for a plain thumbnail grid instead.
    Do my photos need to be the same size?
    No, each one is scaled to fit its thumbnail without cropping, so mixed sizes and shapes work fine.
    What file do I get?
    A single JPG image containing the whole grid of labeled thumbnails.
    Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
    No. Everything happens entirely in your browser.
