Frankensheet vs Gridproof

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.

Turn a photo shoot into a finished contact sheet your client can review. Compare frames, choose your favourites and deliver a PDF with photo numbers and optional tick boxes. No account, advertising, tracking or subscription. KEEP THE PROOF YOU SENT Save named proof rounds with their original PDF, decision CSV and photo-number map. Reopen the exact saved files after relaunch. Apply a client's numbered reply to the original photo identities, even after you reorder the project. Existing client picks remain selected. Save up to 20 rounds and 256 MB per project. CULL AND COMPARE Keep, Maybe and Drop decisions, stars, colour labels, client picks, zoom, undo, auto-advance and side-by-side comparison. Filter and sort by capture time, name or rating. Up to 500 photos per project and 100 projects. The project screen leads with a preview of your contact sheet. DESIGN AND DELIVER Letter, Legal, Tabloid, A4 and A3; portrait or landscape; 1–8 columns and 1–10 rows. Add captions, camera data, studio details, watermark text and client tick boxes. Export PDF, JPEG pages, CSV or file-name lists, or print. Read ticks from compatible returned PDF forms or enter photo numbers. Use Saved proof rounds for numbered replies to an earlier proof. The Make Contact Sheet Shortcuts action creates a PDF from supplied images. PROTECT YOUR WORK Export a project JSON backup containing resized previews, decisions and settings. Restore validates it and adds a separate project. Removed projects can be restored from Recently removed until permanently deleted. Saved proof rounds stay with a removed project when restored, but are not included in JSON backups or project duplicates: share their PDFs and CSVs separately. WHAT TO KNOW Previews are up to 1200 pixels on the long edge, not original-resolution photographs. Originals in Photos and Files are never modified or deleted; keep them separately. RAW support depends on the operating system. CSV includes all project photos; PDF tick-box support depends on the recipient's PDF app. Project backups are limited to 250 MB. Projects and rounds are stored on this device; removing the app deletes local records. Exports can contain private photos and metadata. Interface and screenshots are in English.
