Earlier this year I had to archive a lot of my rolls. My lab sends photos into files per roll, I wanted a proper contact sheet for each one to print and keep with the film sleeves in my archival folder, the offering from my lab for contact sheets became very pricey when you have hundred rolls to archive. I couldn’t find a tool to digitally create them with real film borders (keycodes, sprockets, etc.), so I built one for myself. I’ve been using it for my own archiving and figured I’d share it in case others have the same workflow You can import up to 36 photos at once, pick a film stock (Portra, HP5, 800T, etc.) and format (35mm, 6×6, 4×5, etc.), add red markings like the popular Magnum book, and download a contact sheet directly. Once you know the process, it doesn't take longer than 5-10 seconds to generate based on a folder of images. You can also add film borders to a single image if you want and export that as well. Processing happens in your browser, nothing is stored on my side or in the cloud. I’ll add more film stocks over time (looking into Fuji next). If there’s one you’d like, I can try adding it, but I need a reference to match the keycodes. Let me know if you have any feedback, hope it can be useful to more people.
