What is Photo Calendar Maker?

Photo Calendar Maker lets you build personalized monthly calendars using your own photos. Pick a year and starting month, upload images per month, choose a portrait, landscape, or wall layout, then download the whole calendar as a 12-page PDF or grab each month as a high-resolution PNG ready for printing.

Three layouts are available: portrait (single photo on top with calendar grid below), landscape (photo and grid side-by-side), and wall (large photo with month name overlay and grid underneath). Each photo gets a pan-and-zoom editor so you can crop within the calendar frame. Optional extras include public-holiday highlighting for 12 countries, ISO week numbers, personal events and birthdays pinned to specific days, and a Saturday/Sunday weekend treatment. Export the entire year as a single A4 PDF or download each month as a print-ready PNG.

How to use

1. Select the year and starting month, then choose a calendar layout (portrait, landscape, or wall-style).
2. Upload photos for each month — crop and position them within the calendar frame.
3. Adjust the accent colour, week-start day, and optional holidays or week numbers, then click Download PDF for the full year or Download Calendar to save the active month as a PNG.

When to use

• Making a 12-month gift calendar with family photos for grandparents or relatives.
• Producing a pet portrait calendar for sale at a craft fair or shelter fundraiser.
• Branding a small-business calendar with product shots for client giveaways.

Result

A parent creates a 2026 wall calendar featuring family vacation photos for each month, printed as a holiday gift for grandparents.

FAQ

What resolution are the downloaded calendar pages?

The output PNG matches the layout dimensions configured for that style — portrait and landscape export at print-friendly sizes (around 2400×3300 px), so they print sharply at 8.5×11 or A4. Use the same resolution photos for best quality.

Should I export as PDF or as 12 PNGs?

Either works. PDF gives you a single 12-page file ready to send to a print shop or open in any PDF viewer. The 12-PNG export hands you separate high-resolution images, useful if you want to print only one month or swap a page out later. Both export options come from the same underlying canvas, so quality is identical.

Can I start the calendar on a month other than January?

Yes. The Start Month picker lets you begin from any month and the calendar runs forward 12 months. Useful for academic-year calendars (August-July) or fiscal-year planners.

How do I fit a wide photo into a portrait month frame?

Open the month editor and use pan and zoom to position the photo. The crop box matches the layout's photo area, so anything outside it won't appear. Increase zoom for vertical crops; decrease and pan horizontally for wide shots.

Does the calendar use my locale's week-start (Monday vs Sunday)?

Yes. The Week starts on toggle lets you pick Sunday or Monday, and the default follows your page language. The day-of-week headers and date offsets update everywhere — preview, PDF, and per-month PNG.
