Tables
A visual database where every row starts with an image
FileDrop Tables give you the structure of a spreadsheet and the clarity of a gallery. Upload images in bulk, add the columns your work actually needs, then publish the whole thing as a shareable catalog or export it to Excel and PDF with the images still embedded.
- Bulk and ZIP import
- Grid or table view
- Read-only share links
- Excel & PDF export
The unit of work
One row is one image, plus the columns you decide on
That is the whole idea. A folder gives you the file and nothing else. A spreadsheet gives you the columns but fights you on the picture. A table gives you both, and keeps them together.
Features
What you can do with a table
Upload images in bulk
Drag a pile of images in, select a few dozen at once, or drop a ZIP. FileDrop creates a row per image and keeps them in one place.
Add the columns you need
Name, SKU, status, notes, owner, date, URL, category, condition — whatever the workflow actually tracks.
Grid view or table view
Grid when you want to look at the pictures. Table when you want spreadsheet-style editing and structured metadata. Same data, one click apart.
Share a read-only link
Send a catalog to a client, a teammate, a vendor or a partner without handing over edit access.
Export with the images intact
Download XLSX or PDF with the image objects embedded next to the data — not a column of broken links.
Control how images display
Set the size, aspect ratio and fit mode so a catalog looks consistent across products, assets or project records.
Nine types
Supported column types
Columns are typed, which is what makes a table more than a grid of boxes — a status renders as a badge, a URL as a link, a number sorts like a number.
Image — Extra image cells beyond the primary image on the row.
Text — Names, SKUs, short labels.
Long text — Notes and descriptions.
Number — Prices, quantities, counts.
Date — Dates and deadlines.
URL — A clickable link that opens in a new tab.
Checkbox — Yes/no states.
Status — Colour-coded badges: Not Started, In Progress, Review, Done, Blocked.
Select — A pick-one list with your own options.
The same colour coding runs through the twenty-five example schemas, so you can read any of them at a glance.
Where it fits
Why not just use a spreadsheet
Google Sheets
Spreadsheets are good with data and awkward with pictures — slow to load, painful to review, and images that never sit where you want them. Tables put the image at the centre and keep the rows and columns around it.
DAM software
Digital asset management is powerful and usually far more than a team needs when the job is an image catalog with metadata, sharing and exports. Tables are lighter, quicker and much easier to get people to actually use.
Shared folders
A folder stores the file. It does not track status, notes, dates, SKUs or owners, and it has no client-ready view. Tables keep the file and its context in the same place.

Frequently asked questions
Is this just a spreadsheet with images?
No. You get spreadsheet-style editing, but a table is built around visual browsing, bulk image upload, card previews, sharing and image-rich exports. The picture is the point, not an attachment.
Can I share tables externally?
Yes. Share a read-only link so clients, vendors or teammates can review a catalog without being able to edit it.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Any plan can export catalog data as CSV. Paid plans can export Excel or PDF with the images embedded.
How many rows can a catalog hold?
Up to 10,000 rows per catalog on the paid plans, and 250 on the free plan — see the table above. If you need more than that, get in touch and we will look at the use case with you.
How do I create a catalog?
Sign up, create a new table, upload your images, then publish it or export it.
What image quality should I upload?
Upload high-resolution images for the best result. The current limit is 20 MB per image, so anything larger needs optimising first.
Is it mobile-friendly?
Yes. Tables and published catalogs are responsive and read well on any device.
Can I control who sees a catalog?
Yes. You can put a password on a catalog to restrict access.
Put the pictures where the data is
Build a table, drop your images in, share the link. The free plan gives you two catalogs to try it with.
