How to Use the Calendar Generator
Creating your perfect calendar is simple and intuitive. Follow these steps to customize and generate your calendar in minutes.
Choose Your View
Use the Monthly and Yearly toggle buttons at the top to switch between views. The monthly view shows a detailed calendar for one month, while the yearly view displays all 12 months in a compact grid.
Navigate to Your Date
Use the arrow buttons to move forward or backward by month (or year in yearly view). You can also click the month/year title in the toolbar to open a quick jump picker — select any month and year from the dropdowns to jump directly there.
Customize Your Calendar
Open the Options panel (sidebar on desktop, toggle button on mobile) to adjust your preferences:
- Theme — Pick from 10 color themes by clicking the color swatches
- Week Starts On — Choose Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week
- Show Week Numbers — Display ISO week numbers in the left column
- Highlight Weekends — Give Saturday and Sunday a distinct background color
- Center Day Numbers — Place the day number in the center of each cell for a cleaner look
- Holidays — Select your country to display national holidays on the calendar
Add Background Images
Click Add Image in the options panel to upload photos from your device. You can add up to 12 images — each month will cycle through them automatically. Adjust the overlay opacity slider to control how much the image shows through.
Add Custom Events
Click on any date cell in the monthly view to open the event editor. Type your event and press Enter (or click the + button). Events appear directly on the calendar cells. You can add multiple events per date and remove them individually.
Print or Export
Before printing, set your preferred paper size (A4, Letter, A3, or Legal) and orientation (Portrait or Landscape) in the options. You can also add a custom print title that appears at the top of the printed page.

Features
Monthly and Yearly Views
Switch between a detailed monthly calendar with full-size day cells and a compact yearly overview showing all 12 months at once. In yearly view, click any month to jump directly to its monthly view.
10 Color Themes
Personalize your calendar with one of 10 carefully designed themes: Classic, Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Minimal, Elegant, Rose, Teal, Amber, and Indigo. Each theme adjusts the header color, cell backgrounds, weekend highlights, and accent colors for a cohesive look.
Holiday Display
Select your country from the dropdown to automatically display national and public holidays on the calendar. Holidays are shown in red text on monthly view and as colored indicators on the yearly view. The holiday data covers multiple countries and updates based on the selected year.
Custom Events
Click any date in the monthly view to add personal events. Each event appears as a small tag inside the date cell, making it easy to see your schedule at a glance. Events are stored locally in your browser, so they persist between visits. Use the "Clear All Events" button to reset when needed.
Background Images
Upload photos from your device to use as calendar backgrounds. Add up to 12 images and each month will display a different one. An adjustable overlay ensures your dates and text remain readable over any image. Background images work in both screen view and PDF export.
Center Day Numbers
Enable this option to place the day number in the center of each cell instead of the top-left corner. This creates a cleaner, more minimal calendar style that works especially well for print.
Flexible Navigation
Navigate using arrow buttons, keyboard shortcuts (left/right arrow keys), touch swipe gestures on mobile, or the quick-jump picker that lets you select any month and year directly. The Today button brings you back to the current date instantly.

Print-Optimized Output
The calendar is designed for printing. Choose your paper size (A4, Letter, A3, or Legal), set Portrait or Landscape orientation, and optionally add a custom title. When you print, only the calendar content is sent to the printer — all toolbars, options, and page elements are automatically hidden.
PDF Export
Export your calendar as a high-quality PDF file with one click. The PDF respects your paper size and orientation settings, centers the calendar on the page with proper margins, and includes your custom title if set. Libraries are loaded on-demand, so the page stays fast until you actually need this feature.
Persistent Preferences
All your settings — theme, week start day, display options, paper size, orientation, and custom title — are saved automatically in your browser. When you return, everything is exactly as you left it.
Your Data Stays Private
Everything runs entirely in your browser:
- No uploads — Your images and events never leave your device
- No accounts — No registration or login required
- No tracking — We do not collect any usage data
Complete privacy and security. Your personal events, photos, and preferences remain on your device. No server communication, no data collection, no compromises.
— Privacy-First Design Principle
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I generate a calendar for any year?
Yes. You can navigate to any year within a 100-year range (50 years before and after the current year) using the quick-jump picker or the navigation arrows.
Which countries are supported for holidays?
The tool supports holidays for multiple countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, China, and more. The country is auto-detected based on your browser locale, but you can change it at any time.
Are my events saved?
Yes. Custom events are stored in your browser's local storage. They will persist as long as you do not clear your browser data. Events are not synced across devices or browsers.
What image formats are supported for backgrounds?
You can upload any standard image format supported by your browser, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Images are read directly in your browser and are not uploaded to any server.
Why does the background image not appear when I print?
Most browsers disable background images in print by default to save ink. To include background images, enable the "Background graphics" option in your browser's print settings dialog.
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 to your device — useful when you want a consistent result regardless of browser print settings.
Can I use a different image for each month?
Yes. Upload multiple images (up to 12) and the tool will automatically cycle through them — each month displays a different background image in order.
What does "Center Day Numbers" do?
When enabled, the day number moves from the top-left corner to the center of each cell. This creates a cleaner, more symmetrical layout that many people prefer for printed calendars.
How do I change the first day of the week?
In the Options panel, use the Week Starts On toggle to switch between Sunday and Monday. This affects both the monthly and yearly calendar views.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. The Calendar Generator runs entirely in your browser. No data — including your events, images, or settings — is sent to any server. Everything stays on your device.
