How do I make a contact sheet with filenames?

Upload your photos, then turn on file names and numbers in the label settings. This contact sheet maker renders each thumbnail with its original file name and a running index, and you can export a contact sheet with filenames as a PDF or as page images.

Can I export the contact sheet as a PDF?

Yes. Choose A4 or US Letter and the page orientation, then download a multi-page contact sheet PDF. Pages are paginated automatically so thumbnails never get squeezed onto one sheet.

Do I need Photoshop or Lightroom to make a contact sheet?

No. This tool shows you how to make a contact sheet entirely in the browser — upload, arrange, label, and export a PDF or images without opening any desktop software.

What is a photo contact sheet and when to use one

A photo contact sheet is a grid of thumbnail images printed or saved on a single page, each labelled with its file name and a running number. Photographers used them to review a roll of film at a glance; today an image contact sheet generator serves the same purpose for digital batches — client proofing, archival indexes, and quick visual catalogs.

Unlike a decorative collage, a contact sheet keeps every photo complete and identifiable. File names stay readable and the order is predictable, so anyone who opens the PDF can find the original file without guessing.

How to use

Add JPG, PNG or WebP images. Batch upload as many photos as you need for the sheet.

Arrange and label

Reorder by drag, sort by file name, and toggle file names and numbers on each thumbnail.

Pick a page and export

Choose A4 or US Letter, portrait or landscape, then download a contact sheet PDF or page images.
