How to create a contact sheet

  1. Add your photosDrop in as many images as you like; they stay on your device.
  2. Set up the pageChoose paper, orientation, grid, margins, captions and an optional title.
  3. Print or savePrint directly, or download every page as a 150 or 300 DPI PNG.

How the pages are laid out

The page is drawn at real paper dimensions, so a 300 DPI A4 page is 2480 by 3508 pixels. After the margins, title and page number area, the remaining space is divided into your grid of cells, separated by the gap. Each photo is either fitted entirely inside its cell or cropped to fill it, and captions are shortened with an ellipsis if they do not fit.

Photos are added to pages in order until each page is full, and new pages are created automatically. When printing, the pages are sent as images with the paper size set to match, so choose the same paper and set scaling to 100 percent or actual size in the print dialog.

Contact sheet FAQ

How many photos fit on a page?

Columns times rows. A 4 by 5 grid holds 20 photos per page. Extra photos flow onto new pages automatically.

Why does my printout have extra white borders?

Your printer may add its own margins or scale the page. Choose Actual size or 100 percent scaling and disable fit to page in the print dialog.

Can I save the sheet as a PDF?

Yes. Press Print and choose Save as PDF as the printer.

Are my photos reduced in quality?

Thumbnails are drawn from copies of up to 1400 pixels, which is more than enough for contact sheet cells even at 300 DPI.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything is processed and printed from your browser.
