Photo Grid Maker FAQ
How is this different from the Photo Collage Maker?
The collage maker creates decorative layouts for two to nine photos. The grid maker places many photos in identical cells with optional captions, which is better for overviews, selections and contact sheets.
What does “Fit whole photo” do?
It shrinks each photo so it fits entirely inside its cell, leaving background around photos whose shape differs from the cell. “Fill” crops photos so every cell is completely covered.
How large is the output image?
The width is fixed by your choice (up to 3600 pixels, or A4 width at 300 DPI) and the height grows with the number of rows. The size is shown under the preview.
Can clients choose photos using the numbers?
Yes. Choose Number captions, send the grid, and ask for the numbers of the photos they want. The numbers follow the order of the file list.
Is there a limit on photo size?
Each photo can be up to 50 MB. Large photos are reduced to the cell size while composing, so memory use stays low.
The contact sheet, reinvented
Before digital photography, photographers printed whole rolls of film onto a single sheet of paper, with each frame at the size of the negative. These contact sheets were how photographers and editors reviewed a shoot and picked the frames worth enlarging, marking them with a grease pencil. The format survives because it is still the fastest way to see a whole set of images at once.
A good grid is about consistency. Identical cells, even spacing and aligned captions let the eye compare images rather than being distracted by layout. Cropping all photos to the same shape gives the cleanest look; fitting each whole photo is better when composition matters, for example when reviewing images for a final edit.
Captions turn the grid into a working document. File names let you find the original instantly, while simple numbers are easier for clients to quote back in an email. Adding a title with the project name and date makes the sheet self-explanatory when it is forwarded or printed months later.
For print, choose the A4 width at 300 pixels per inch and a number of columns that keeps thumbnails at least 3 cm wide, around four to six columns on A4, so faces and details remain recognisable.
