Contact sheet

Contact sheets with file names, ready to print

A contact sheet puts a whole shoot on paper: small, uncropped thumbnails in a grid with each file name underneath, so you can circle the keepers with a pen and find them again on the computer.

How it works

  1. Add your photos. Pick them or drop them in. They open in your browser and are never uploaded.
  2. Arrange and crop. Drag, resize and crop each photo, or auto-arrange them in one click. A chip tells you if a photo will print sharp.
  3. Print or save as PDF. A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, printed at the exact size you see.

What a contact sheet is for

Film photographers printed every negative of a roll on one sheet to choose which ones to enlarge. A printed contact sheet still beats scrolling: spread a few on the table, mark favourites, and let everyone else choose their prints too.

Each thumbnail keeps its whole frame, so you judge the real composition. With captions on, the file name prints under each photo (IMG 2041), so the photo you circled is easy to find later. You can also type your own caption under any photo.

Twenty-four thumbnails fit on one sheet at a size you can still judge, about 45 mm across. Add more photos and new sheets follow with the same layout.

Questions

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Your photos are opened by your browser and stay on this device. Nothing is uploaded, sent or stored on a server, and the photos are not saved in the browser either: close the tab and they are gone from the page. No tracking cookies; one functional cookie keeps your unlock if you buy one.

How do I print several photos on one page?

Add your photos, then tap a photo in the tray or drag it onto the sheet. Use Auto-arrange for an even grid, whole photos or photo rows, or move and resize each photo yourself. Press "Print or save as PDF" and choose your printer, or "Save as PDF".

Will the photos print at the size I see?

Yes, as long as the print dialog is set to 100% or "Actual size" rather than "Fit to page". The sheet is laid out in millimetres and printed with no page margins added, so a 10 x 15 cm frame prints at 10 x 15 cm.

What paper sizes can I use?

A4 and US Letter, in portrait or landscape. Switch at any time: the photos move and resize with the sheet. The dashed 6 mm margin shows where most home printers stop printing.

What does "May print soft" mean?

The chip shows how many of the photo's pixels land on each inch of paper at the size you chose. 240 dots per inch or more prints sharp and 150 is good for most snapshots. Below that the print may look soft up close: make the photo smaller or use a larger original.

Can I crop a photo?

Yes. Double-click a photo, or select it and press Crop or Enter. Drag the photo to choose what shows, drag the orange edges to trim the frame, and use the zoom slider to get closer. "Show whole photo" puts the uncropped photo back in its frame.

Which photo files work?

JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF in every modern browser, and HEIC photos from an iPhone in Safari. Photos are printed from the original file, rendered at about 300 dots per inch for the size you placed them.

Is it free?

Free to start, with no sign-up: one sheet with up to 6 photos, with every layout, crop and paper option, and a small "Made free at onejob.tools" line in the bottom margin. A single one-off unlock adds as many sheets and photos as you like, exact print sizes (10 x 15 cm, 4 x 6 in, 13 x 18 cm, 5 x 7 in, wallet and square), cut lines and captions, and removes the line. The same unlock covers every OneJob tool. It is not a subscription, and you can have a refund within 14 days.

Will I be charged again?

No. The unlock is a single payment with nothing to cancel, and it covers every OneJob tool. It is saved in your browser. No tracking cookies; one functional cookie keeps your unlock.
