Printable Wall Calendar Maker
A wall calendar has to work from across the room — big dates, a clear grid, and enough space above for a photo or a mini year-at-a-glance. Most downloadable templates lock you into someone else's layout, someone else's start month, and a generic stock photo panel you can't remove.
This tool builds the whole thing around your own year, your own photos and your own colour palette, then exports it true to size for A3, US Letter, Tabloid or a dozen other sheet sizes — ready to print at a copy shop and spiral- or ring-bind along the top edge.

How to make it
- Pick 'Monthly' and a wall-friendly paper size — A3 or Tabloid for a full-size wall calendar, A4 or Letter for something smaller
- Choose a month layout — a plain grid, or one with a photo panel above the dates
- Add your own photos per month, pick a colour palette and heading font, and mark in holidays or important dates
- Turn on a cover page and spiral- or ring-bound top edge under Print settings, then export a true-to-size PDF with crop marks if you're sending it to a print shop
Frequently asked questions
What paper size should I use for a wall calendar?
A3 (297×420mm) is the standard large wall-calendar size and prints readably from a few metres away; Tabloid/11×17" is the closest US equivalent. A4/Letter works too for a smaller desk-height calendar, just with less room per photo.
Can I use my own photos for each month?
Yes — drop a different photo into each month's photo panel, or use one photo per season. Photos stay in your browser only; they're never uploaded anywhere, which also means they're not included if you copy a share link to send someone the design.
How do I bind the finished pages?
Set binding to 'Spiral — top edge' in Print settings and the export adds the right margin and hole allowance for a top-bound wall calendar. Take the PDF to a print shop for spiral or wire-o binding, or punch and ring-bind it yourself.
Can I start the calendar in any month, not just January?
Yes — set any start year and start month, which is useful for a financial-year calendar, an academic-year calendar, or a gift calendar that starts the month you're giving it.
