Contact sheets explained

One view of the complete photo set

A contact sheet places labelled photo thumbnails into an ordered grid. It gives photographers, clients, and production teams a quick way to compare frames and record the images they want to use.

Add images in the browser, choose the grid and page details, then download a PDF. The free editor works without an account; saving projects, adding brand tools, and sharing proofing links are available when your workflow needs them.

Review a shoot
Compare frames while filenames and sequence stay visible.
Present selections
Send an ordered PDF for client, editor, or team review.
Prepare delivery
Keep image references clear before retouching or handoff.
Client proofing

One review link. One clear list of selects.

Replace email threads and marked-up screenshots with a contact sheet clients can review themselves. Their picks, image notes, and final comment arrive together, tied to the project.

Available on Ultimate

$19/month or $190/year. Includes share links, client proofing, notifications, and 100GB storage.
