Questions people ask
What is a contact sheet for?
A single page that shows a whole set at a glance: proof sheets for photography shoots, selection grids for design rounds, a one-image overview of an archive. The grid carries filenames, so the sheet doubles as an index.
Are my photos cropped or stretched into the grid?
Never. Each thumbnail is scaled to fit its cell and centred, with the empty margin filled by the backing colour you chose. A vertical photo reads as a vertical photo.
What happens to sideways photos?
Their EXIF orientation flag is applied before layout, so each thumb appears the way viewers show it. The thumbnails are laid out from the corrected frames.
My images have transparent backgrounds.
Transparency is composited onto the sheet's backing (white by default), which is what a contact sheet is for: the flat backing keeps the reading clean.
What if one file in the batch is broken?
It is skipped and named in the summary; the rest of the sheet is built normally. A broken file costs its own cell, not your whole run.
What happens to my files?
The uploads are removed as soon as processing finishes; the sheet stays downloadable for about 10 minutes, then it is deleted automatically.
