How many images can I add to one contact sheet?

The tool supports dozens or hundreds of images in a single sheet. The practical limit depends on your device memory and browser. For very large sets, work in batches of 100 to 200 images for the smoothest experience.

Does the contact sheet show filenames?

Yes. You can show or hide filenames under each thumbnail in the sidebar options. Filenames are pulled directly from your uploaded files, so renamed files appear with their new names.

Can I print the contact sheet?

Yes. Click the Print button to open your browser print dialog. The tool applies print-optimized styles that hide the interface and print only the contact sheet. You can also save the sheet as a PNG image for sharing.

What image formats are supported?

The tool accepts any format your browser can decode, including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. For best results, use consistent dimensions so thumbnails look uniform in the grid.

Can I sort the images in the contact sheet?

Images appear in the order you upload them. To control the order, rename your files with numeric prefixes (001, 002, 003) before uploading, then use the Sort button to arrange them alphabetically by filename.

What Is an Image Contact Sheet?

An image contact sheet is a single page or image that displays a collection of photos as small thumbnails arranged in a grid, usually with filenames and numbers. The format comes from traditional film photography, where a whole roll was printed onto one sheet so photographers could review every frame before selecting the best shots.

Today, contact sheets are used far beyond photography. Designers use them to review icon sets, marketers to audit product photos, archivists to catalog collections, and families to print a quick overview of a holiday album. This contact sheet maker builds the sheet for you in the browser: upload your images, choose the grid, filenames and styling, then print the page or download it as a PNG.

Because everything runs locally with the FileReader API and HTML5 Canvas, your images never leave your device. That makes the tool safe for client work, unreleased photos and private family archives.

Best Practices for Contact Sheets

Get better results by following these practical guidelines:

Use consistent dimensions. Thumbnails look tidy when source images share an aspect ratio. Crop or resize outliers first with the Image Resizer.
Name files meaningfully. Filenames appear under each thumbnail, so rename files to short descriptive labels before uploading. Numeric prefixes such as 001- control sort order.
Compress before uploading. Large originals slow down the browser. Run them through the Image Compressor first.
Choose the right columns for the medium. Four columns fit A4 and Letter pages well; six to eight columns suit screen review of large batches.
Keep accessibility in mind. Filenames act as captions on the printed sheet, so avoid cryptic codes and follow the W3C image accessibility guidance when the sheet is shared digitally.
