Tips for the best result

Any photo fits. The photo frame is a fixed 4×6 portrait (2:3 aspect). Drop in a portrait or landscape source photo — the drag + zoom cropper makes the subject fit.

Pick the side that matches your photo. If your subject is looking to the right, put the photo on the left so they face the calendar. Vice versa for the other side.

Type events directly in the PDF. Every date cell has a multiline fillable text box. Works in Adobe Reader, Mac Preview, Chrome, Firefox — no Adobe Acrobat required.

Holidays are labeled for you. US federal holidays plus popular observances (Easter, Mother's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.) are auto-marked on the correct dates for the month and year you pick.

Prints on any US Letter printer. The page is sized for standard 8.5 × 11" paper in landscape orientation.

Frequently asked questions

Why landscape orientation instead of portrait?
The side-photo layout pairs a tall 4×6 portrait photo with a wide calendar grid. That only fits cleanly on a landscape page — turning the paper 90° gives both the photo and the calendar room to breathe without shrinking either.
What if my photo is horizontal instead of vertical?
It still works. The frame is a fixed 4×6 portrait (2:3 aspect), so a horizontal photo gets cropped to a vertical slice. Use the drag + zoom cropper on screen to pick the slice — usually centering on the subject's face.
Should the photo go on the left or the right?
Match the photo's eye-line to the calendar. If your subject is looking right, put the photo on the left so they appear to look toward the calendar. If looking left, put it on the right. Both options are one click in the generator.
Can I print it on Legal-size paper?
Not directly — the layout is sized for US Letter landscape (11 × 8.5"). You can scale-to-fit Legal paper from the print dialog, but the generator doesn't have a Legal option built in.
Will my photo be uploaded anywhere?
No. Photo selection and PDF generation both happen entirely in your browser. The image data never leaves your device.
Are events on the dates fillable?
Yes. Every date cell is a multiline fillable text field — type events in any PDF reader (Adobe Reader, Preview, Chrome, Firefox). The free Reader works fine; you don't need paid Adobe Acrobat.
