How to Create a Contact Sheet in Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom includes tools that photographers can use to organize and prepare collections of images. Contact sheets are particularly useful when reviewing a large number of photographs.

Why Use a Contact Sheet With Lightroom?

A contact sheet gives you a visual overview of selected photographs and can make image selection easier.

Select Your Images

Start by selecting the photographs you want to include in your contact sheet.

Choose a Grid Layout

The ideal layout depends on how many photographs you want to display and whether the sheet will be printed or viewed digitally.

Add Image Information

Filenames and captions can help identify photographs, especially when sharing a proof sheet with clients.

An Online Alternative

If you only need a quick contact sheet, an online contact sheet maker can provide a simpler workflow without requiring you to configure a full Lightroom print layout.
