- Generate -- Click the Generate button to create or refresh the calendar with your chosen settings.
- Print or save -- Click Print / Save PDF to open your browser's print dialog. From there, choose your printer or select "Save as PDF" to download a digital copy.
How It Works
The calendar is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you click Generate, the tool calculates the correct day of the week for the first of the selected month, determines the number of days in that month, and builds an HTML grid that matches a standard calendar layout. If you have selected a country for holidays, the tool fetches public holiday data from the Nager.Date API and overlays holiday names onto the corresponding dates.
When you click Print, a dedicated print stylesheet hides all interactive controls, navigation, advertisements, and non-essential elements, leaving only the clean calendar grid. This means you get a professional-looking printed page without any clutter. The layout adapts to your paper size, working well on both A4 and US Letter paper in portrait or landscape orientation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print this calendar for free?
Yes. Click Print and use your browser's print dialog. Choose "Save as PDF" to save a digital copy. There are no watermarks, no sign-up required, and no limits on how many calendars you can generate or print. The tool is completely free to use.
Which paper size does it use?
The calendar adapts to your printer's paper size. A4 and US Letter both work well. For monthly view, portrait orientation is recommended. For the full-year view, use landscape orientation to fit all 12 months clearly on a single page.
Does it show public holidays?
Yes. Select a country from the Holidays dropdown before generating the calendar. Public holidays will be highlighted in a warm yellow colour with their names displayed. Over 100 countries are supported, with data sourced from the Nager.Date API for accuracy.
Can I get a full year on one page?
Yes. Switch to the Full Year view and all 12 months will display in a compact grid designed to fit on a single page when printed. This is ideal for annual planning, wall displays, and getting an overview of the entire year at a glance.
Can I show week numbers on the calendar?
Yes. Toggle the "Show week numbers" option before generating. ISO week numbers will appear alongside each row of dates, which is particularly useful for business planning, project management, and coordinating schedules in professional settings.
Can I change the first day of the week?
The calendar uses Monday as the first day of the week, following the ISO 8601 international standard. This format is used across Europe, Asia, and most business contexts worldwide, making it the most universally suitable choice for printed planning calendars.
