A free printable calendar maker that produces clean PDFs straight from your browser.
No sign-up, and nothing on the page but the calendar.
Most printable calendar sites hand you a PDF with their own logo on it, or a layout that leaves half the page empty. This one gives you the grid and as much blank writing space per day as the paper allows. Nothing else reaches the paper.
Pick a year, a starting month and how many months you want. Choose monthly, two months, four months, six months, or the whole year on a single sheet. Set the paper size, turn on US holidays if you want them, then print. Everything you set is in the address bar, so a calendar you like is a link you can bookmark or send to someone.
- Monthly, one month per page, with the biggest day cells the sheet will give you
- Quarterly and half-year, two, four or six months per page
- Year at a glance, all twelve months on one sheet
- Blank, with the grid turned off, if you would rather rule your own
- 2025, 2026, 2027 or any year you type in, starting from any month
- Letter, Legal, 11x17, A4 and two poster sizes, landscape or portrait
- Monday-start or Sunday-start weeks
- US federal holidays plus common observances, or none at all
Print to paper, or choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog and you have a PDF calendar. There is also a download that saves the whole thing as one HTML file you can keep or print later.
Printing from a web page usually goes wrong in the same few ways. You get a blank page at the end, a grid that stops two inches short of the bottom, or a month split across two sheets. Most of that comes from one mistake, which is sizing the page against the browser window. In a print context the window is not the page.
So none of the layout here is measured against the viewport. Paper sizes are defined in exact millimeters, the printable area is the sheet minus its margins, and every band inside it gets subtracted from that in absolute units. The day grid is handed an explicit height and its weeks divide it equally, which is why a five-row month fills the sheet to the same bottom edge as a six-row month, with taller cells.
A few other things that matter once ink hits paper:
- Grid lines are borders, never background fills, so they still print when "Background graphics" is off in the print dialog
- Weekend shading is derived from the grid color's luminance, so the lines stay visible through it. A mid gray fill over a mid gray hairline is why shading looks broken on a lot of printable calendars
- Only the sheets between pages force a page break, which is what stops the blank thirteenth page at the end of a twelve month run
- The sheet is centered on the paper, so it prints identically whether the dialog's margins are set to Default or None
- Type is sized against the cell it lands in, using proportions measured off a printed reference rather than guessed
Claims about print output are worth very little unless something actually prints, so the test harness drives real headless Chrome over the DevTools protocol, asks it for a PDF the same way "Save as PDF" does, and checks the bytes that come back.
npm install
npm run verify # 24 configurations plus the download path
npm run verify:full # every calendar type x orientation x paper sizeEach case asserts that the PDF has exactly the expected page count with no blank trailer, that every sheet measures the paper size requested (checked in PDF points), that nothing overflows, that content reaches the bottom margin, and that the rows came out equal height. Date arithmetic is checked separately, including leap years, both week starts, and every month from 2024 through 2028. Easter is checked against dates a real calendar agrees on.
The full matrix is 80 configurations and 700 assertions, and it has caught real bugs twice: once when a stylesheet reorganization made every downloaded multi-month calendar a page too long, and once when a layout change quietly printed the sidebar onto every sheet.
npm install # holidate, plus browser-sync and pdf-lib for local dev and verification
npm run vendor # regenerates vendor/holidate/holidate.js from the installed package
npm start # serves the app at http://localhost:3000It uses ES modules, so it needs to be served over HTTP. Opening index.html off the filesystem
will not work, because Chrome blocks module scripts on file://.
| Option | Values |
|---|---|
| Calendar Type | Monthly, Two Month, Four Month, Six Months, Yearly |
| Year | 2025, 2026, 2027, or anything you type |
| Starting Month | Any month. The run rolls over the year boundary. |
| Months to Print | 1 to 120 |
| Orientation | Landscape or Portrait |
| Paper Size | Letter, 11x17, Legal, Poster, Movie Poster, A4 |
| Weekday Starts | Sunday or Monday |
| Weekends Shaded | Yes or no |
| Grid Lines | On or off, gray, black or a custom color |
| Notes | Ruled column beside the grid, or a strip along the bottom |
| Adjacent Days | Hide, or print the neighboring months' dates grayed out |
| Holidays | Off, US federal only, or federal plus common observances |
| Title Font / Body Font | System, or any of 17 Google families |
| Title / Weekday / Date / Holiday Size | Five steps, scaling the measured defaults |
Type is set in the system font stack by default, and nothing is fetched in that state. Pick a family and the page adds a link to Google Fonts for the one or two families in use.
Every stack ends in the system fonts, so a blocked or missing network degrades to the original
typography rather than to nothing. The Print button waits on document.fonts.ready before opening
the dialog, because Chrome will otherwise print a page whose webfont is still in flight and put
fallback metrics on the paper.
Sizes are scales, not absolute values. Each control multiplies the measured default, so type keeps adapting to the paper and the cell, and no combination can produce a sheet that does not fit.
Holiday dates come from holidate, an MIT-licensed library
by Zachary Gomez, installed from npm and vendored into vendor/holidate/holidate.js by
npm run vendor. The copyright notice in the generated file is lifted from the upstream license
rather than retyped.
holidate covers the United States only, which is why the Holidays control is US only. It handles the observed-date rule, so you will see both June 19 2027 and the Friday before it marked, because Juneteenth falls on a Saturday that year.
Two things are corrected on the way through. Easter is recomputed, because holidate derives it from a fixed golden-number table with no century correction, which is right for roughly 1900 to 2199 and wrong outside it. And where two holidays share a date the federal one wins the cell, because June 19 2022 was both Juneteenth and Father's Day and it printed as Father's Day.
Worth stating plainly, since the reference sites do not publish their own.
Poster is taken as 18 x 24 in, and Movie Poster as 27 x 40 in, the US one sheet. Neither has a
single standard, so both live in PAPER_SIZES in js/config.js if you want different numbers.
Margins are 0.35 in. The point of this calendar is writing space.
Download HTML saves a self-contained file, not a PDF. Generating a real PDF would mean pulling in a PDF library, and the browser already makes better ones. Print is the PDF path.
Two things: a font, if you pick one other than System, and Google Analytics. Neither affects what prints, and neither goes into the downloaded file.
