Need a contact sheet of your photos β€” to proof a shoot, pick favorites with a client, catalog an archive or print an index of a trip? Sheetly lays your photos out in a numbered grid and exports a print-ready PDF or JPG pages in seconds. Select up to 100 photos, choose a grid, page size and captions, put them in the order you want, and create the sheet. β€’ EIGHT GRID SIZES β€” from 2 Γ— 2 (4 per page) up to the classic dense 5 Γ— 7 (35 per page), including 3 Γ— 3, 3 Γ— 4, 4 Γ— 4, 4 Γ— 5 and 5 Γ— 5. β€’ NUMBERED THUMBNAILS β€” every photo gets an index number, so β€œnumber 14” means the same photo to everyone looking at the sheet. β€’ CAPTIONS β€” show the number only, the file name, the date the photo was taken, or name + date. β€’ WHOLE PHOTOS, UPRIGHT β€” each thumbnail is fitted inside its cell without cropping and turned the right way up. β€’ LETTER OR A4, 300 DPI β€” pages are rendered at 300 DPI for sharp proof prints; photos flow onto as many pages as needed. β€’ YOUR ORDER β€” reorder the photos before you export; the first one is number 1. β€’ PDF OR JPG β€” one multi-page PDF, or one JPG per page. Share, save to Files, or save the pages to your photo library. Good to know: photos are chosen with the system photo picker, so Sheetly never needs access to your whole library; it only asks for permission to add images when you save pages to Photos. Thumbnails are for proofing and reference β€” they are not full-resolution prints of your originals. File names and dates appear only when the photo provides them. Everything happens on your iPhone β€” no uploads, no account. Try it free β€” 3 exports. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited contact sheets. No subscription, no ads.
