Frankensheet turns a folder of images, or a video, into a printable contact sheet in seconds. Point it at a folder and you have a grid — no catalogue, no import step, no waiting. • Contact sheets from any folder of images • Frame boards from video — sample a clip at an interval and lay the frames out (Pro) • Export to PNG or JPEG at up to 150 DPI — or to PDF with selectable text, up to 1200 DPI (Pro) • Control the grid, margins, gutters and page size in millimetres • Captions from the filename, and from EXIF — shutter, aperture, ISO, capture date (Pro) • Live preview that is the same code as the export, so what you see is what you get Free exports one sheet of up to 30 images as PNG or JPEG at up to 150 DPI. It is a complete tool for one job: not time-limited, and never watermarked. A one-time Pro unlock adds PDF export with selectable text, video frame boards, multi-page and batch sheets, unlimited images, export up to 1200 DPI, headers and footers, EXIF caption tokens, custom templates and Shortcuts. No subscription, and still no watermark. Frankensheet collects anonymous usage and crash diagnostics to fix bugs; it never sees your images or file contents.
