How the PDF Contact Sheet Maker works
- Select the images; they are read in the browser and never uploaded.
- Choose a grid density — more per page means smaller thumbnails, and past about 30 per page they stop being useful for choosing.
- Keep filenames as captions if the sheet is for selecting frames, since the filename is how you find the original.
FAQ
What is a contact sheet for?
Reviewing and selecting from a set at a glance, and as a printed index for an archive. It is for choosing which frames to look at properly, not for judging them.
How many images per page?
Around 20 to 30 on A4 keeps thumbnails large enough to distinguish. Beyond that they become too small to tell similar frames apart, which defeats the purpose.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The PDF is assembled in the browser, so the files stay on your device — which also means very large sets are limited by available memory.
