How to use Contact Sheet PDF
- 1. Add your images. Drop in the batch of images you want laid out as thumbnails. They get arranged in the order you add them, so sort the files beforehand if order matters.
- 2. Set the grid dimensions. Choose Columns and Rows per page to control how many thumbnails fit per sheet, balancing thumbnail size against how many pages the sheet spans.
- 3. Pick page size and file names. Choose Page size to match your printer or viewer, and toggle Show file names under thumbnails if you need to identify each image by its original file name.
- 4. Download the contact sheet. Generate and save the file. It is a multi-page PDF with your images arranged in a thumbnail grid, ready to print or share.
When to use Contact Sheet PDF
Contact Sheet PDF arranges many images into a thumbnail grid spread across PDF pages, the digital equivalent of a photographer's contact print. It is for reviewing or sharing a batch of images as one document instead of dozens of separate files.
- Reviewing a photo shoot before selects. A photographer has hundreds of shots from a session and needs a compact overview to mark selects before full editing. A contact sheet with file names lets a client point to specific frames by number.
- Cataloging product photos for a catalog draft. A small business has a folder of product photos that need a quick visual index before deciding which ones go into a printed catalog.
- Sharing a batch of screenshots as one document. A bug report includes dozens of screenshots that are easier to review as a single scrollable grid than as separate attachments in an email thread.
About the Contact Sheet PDF tool
Contact Sheet PDF is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Arrange many images into a thumbnail grid across PDF pages. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 92 PDF utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with 4 settings, including Columns, Rows per page, Page size and Show file names under thumbnails, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. The finished file is put together in browser memory and saved with the Download button, so it never touches a server on the way to your disk.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
