Make a photo calendar as a Christmas gift

For family and grandparents

1. Choose the photos. Pick 12 photos from the year, one for each month, and one more for the cover if you want.
2. Think about the season. A snowy photo for January or a summer photo for July makes each month feel right.
3. Add the family dates. Under Extras, add birthdays and anniversaries so they are on the calendar from day one.
4. Add a title. Under Dates, write a title such as the family name.
5. Download the PDF and print it. Check each page with ‹ and › first.

From a school class to the parents

Pupils’ drawings make a personal gift. Photograph or scan the drawings, add them in order (cover first, then January to December) and print a copy for each family. The page for teachers explains it step by step and has a printable class calendar too.

Printing tips

• Print at 100% or “Actual size” so the page is not shrunk.
• Choose the same paper size in the print dialog as in the maker (US Letter or A4).
• Heavier paper or photo paper makes photos look better and the pages sturdier. Check what your printer supports.
• Print one-sided and staple, punch or bind the pages at the top so the calendar can hang on the wall.
• Print a single test page first to check colours before printing the whole year.

Your photos never leave your device

The PDF is built by your own browser. Photos are read from your device, placed on the pages and saved into the file on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us or anyone else, and there is no account.

Your settings and the birthdays you add are saved in this browser (local storage) so they are there next time. Photos are not saved.
