Step by step
From photos to print-ready, one class at a time.
Upload your headshots and a roster. SchoolComposite matches names to faces, aligns every head, applies your template, and hands back a 300 DPI file. No Photoshop templates, no Canva finishing.
The workflow
Five steps to a finished composite.
-
01
Upload photos and roster
Drag in student headshots (JPEG or PNG) and a CSV roster, or your PSPA index export. Fuzzy filename matching handles inconsistent naming, chunked uploads keep large schools from timing out the browser, and any mismatch gets fixed with one click in the review step.
-
02
Let face detection align every head
Face detection reads each photo and calculates the crop so every student's head sits at the same height. The head guide is configurable per project, and any photo that needs a manual nudge can be fine-tuned by hand. Replace a photo later and recalculate the batch.
-
03
Add the school's branding
Upload the school logo, set up to four brand colors, and add the school name and year. SchoolComposite can auto-extract colors straight from the logo, then apply them to backgrounds, borders, and text styles.
-
04
Generate, then send for review
Generate composites for every classroom in one click, with rows, columns, and staff sizing set the way you want. Send the school admin a secure review link, no account required, so they can check names and flag anything missing before you print.
-
05
Download print-ready files
Export a 300 DPI composite at any of nine sizes, from 8x10 to 24x36, including whole-school composites for hallway displays. Tested on schools with 800 or more students.
