Calendar Generator for Printable Monthly & Yearly Calendars
The Calendar Generator is a browser-based tool that builds clean, printable calendars for any month or year. Pick a monthly or yearly layout, style it with a color theme, add holidays and your own events, then print it or export a PDF.
You get full control over how the calendar looks and what it shows: 10 color themes, automatic national holidays for many countries, custom events on any date, and background images to personalize each month. It works for office wall calendars, desk planners, academic schedules, family photo calendars, and event timelines.
How to Use the Calendar Generator
Choose your view
Use the Monthly and Yearly toggle to switch layouts. Monthly shows one detailed month with large day cells; Yearly shows all 12 months at once. In Yearly view, click any month to jump straight into its monthly layout.
Navigate to your date
Step forward or back with the arrow buttons, press the ← / → arrow keys, or swipe on touchscreens. Click the month/year title to open the quick-jump picker and choose any month and year, or press Today to return to the current date.
Customize the look
Open the Options panel to pick a Theme, set Week Starts On to Sunday or Monday, and toggle Show Week Numbers, Highlight Weekends, and Center Day Numbers. Select a country under Holidays to display its public holidays.
Add background images (optional)
Click Add Image to upload photos from your device. Add up to 12 images and each month cycles through a different one. Use the Overlay slider to dim the image so your dates stay readable.
Add custom events
In monthly view, click any date cell to open the event editor. Type your event and press Enter or the add button. Events appear right on the calendar; add several per date and remove them one by one, or use Clear All Events to reset.
Print or export to PDF
Choose your Paper Size (A4, Letter, A3, or Legal), set Portrait or Landscape, and add an optional Print Title. Hit Print to send only the calendar to your printer, or Export PDF to download a ready-to-share file.

No uploads, no account, no tracking. Images, events, and settings live only in your browser, never on a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a printable calendar?
Open the tool, pick the Monthly or Yearly view, navigate to the month or year you want, and customize the theme and options. Then click Print for your browser print dialog, or Export PDF to download a file. No account or installation is required.
Can I download the calendar as a PDF?
Yes. Click Export PDF and the calendar downloads as a standalone PDF that matches your chosen paper size and orientation. The file is centered with margins, so it is ready to share or print on any device — independent of browser print settings.
What is the difference between Print and Export PDF?
Print opens your browser's native print dialog, where you can choose a printer or save as PDF through the browser. Export PDF generates a standalone PDF file that downloads directly — useful when you want a consistent result regardless of browser print settings.
Can I choose the start day of the week?
Yes. In the Options panel, use Week Starts On to switch between Sunday and Monday. The change applies to both the monthly and yearly views.
Can I generate a calendar for any year?
Yes. The quick-jump picker covers a wide range — from 50 years before to 50 years after the current year — and you can also step through months and years with the navigation arrows.
Which countries are supported for holidays?
The Holidays dropdown covers many countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, China, and more. The country is auto-detected from your browser locale, and you can change it at any time.
Are my events saved?
Yes. Custom events are stored in your browser's local storage and persist until you clear your browser data. They are not synced across devices or browsers, and you can wipe them anytime with Clear All Events.
Can I use a different image for each month?
Yes. Upload multiple images (up to 12) and the tool cycles through them automatically — each month shows a different background in order. Any standard browser image format works, such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.
Why doesn't the background image appear when I print?
Most browsers disable background graphics in print by default to save ink. To include background images, enable the Background graphics option in your browser's print settings dialog before printing.
Do I need an account to make a calendar?
No. There is no registration or login. The Calendar Generator runs entirely in your browser, so your events, images, and settings stay on your device and nothing is uploaded to a server.
