- Anyone who wants a calendar within reach on a desk without the bulk of a wall calendar

- Gift-makers building a mini desk calendar to go with a card or small present
How to make it
- In the Calendar tab pick 'Monthly', then use the paper size control above the preview for a compact size: A5 landscape is a common desk-calendar size, A6 smaller again
- In the Layout tab choose a plain grid for maximum legibility at a small size, or a list layout if you'd rather see each day on its own line
- Set your colour palette and font, and turn off anything that only makes sense on a bigger page, such as the last and next month mini calendars or a wide notes column
- In the Print tab set Binding to 'Coil · top' (or 'Loose sheets' for a frame or stand), then export a true-to-size PDF
Frequently asked questions
What size should a desk calendar be?
A5 landscape (210×148mm) is a common, easy-to-source desk-calendar size that fits most small stands and frames. A6 is smaller again if desk space is tight; either works here, and you set it with the paper size above the preview.
Can I make it stand up like a tent calendar?
The tool makes calendar pages without a stand. Use a frame, stand or top-coil binding, or try the hanging presets made from folded A4 sheets.
Is there a version without photos, just the grid?
Yes. The plain grid layout shows only the dates, with no photo panel at all, which is usually the clearest choice at desk-calendar size.
