Greetings to all visitors!
If earlier you had to use standard calendars, then with the development of computer technology, you can make your own calendar, with your own holidays (for example, mark the birthdays of relatives, anniversaries and celebrations on it), your design, your size, etc.
In general, do everything the way you need it (so as not to forget anything and congratulate everyone on time!). Agree, it would be convenient to know in advance where and what holidays, and plans await you ?!
In general, there are a lot of ways to make your own calendar, and not all of them are suitable for a person who is poorly versed in PCs. In this article I will give several step-by-step instructions (in different programs) for creating your own colorful calendar (I think that everyone who wants to figure it out).
By the way, if you want to know the exact weather forecast, you may be interested in an article with recommendations and an overview of sites about the weather. -
Using Calendar Design Program
The most convenient program to "cook" a calendar for yourself. Judge for yourself:
- you have access to a variety of calendars formats: pocket, flip-flop, desktop. The time interval is also configurable: for a month, for a year, a quarter;
- There are dozens of various templates in the program: each template can be modified to suit your requirements;
- you can add any of your dates to the calendar: birthdays, vacations, important events in your life. Each such date can be highlighted with a special color, and even a picture;
- you can print calendars on paper of various sizes (almost all types of printers are supported).
Perhaps the only drawback is that the free version has a problem with saving in some formats. To summarize, in general for solving our problem - the program is irreplaceable, one of the best of its kind. I will consider in detail how to make your calendar in it.
- After installation from the launch of the program, you will see a welcome window with the option to start either a new project or open a ready-made one. In my example, I will choose a new one.
- Next, you need to select the type of calendar. In general, here are all the types that you may need: wall calendars (some of the most popular), desktop, pocket, one month, 12 months, calendar from scratch. For example, I chose the option of a wall calendar.
- Then dozens of all kinds of templates will appear before you: green, blue, light, dark, with nature, with animals, old, etc., etc. In general, you need to choose one of the proposed options - I do not advise here (as you know: "the taste and color - there are no comrades ...").
- The next step is to choose a photo for the calendar. Here you can put a photo of your pet, family photo, nature, etc.
- Then you need to set the year of the calendar (from what date to start counting - by the way, it is not at all necessary from the new year) and set the format of the sheet (by default, it is the usual A4). After installation - click the "done" button.
- Actually, your calendar is ready! There is little left to do: adjust some more points that were promised at the beginning of the article ☺.
- Choice of Holidays... To do this, open the "Holidays" section in the top menu of the program, tick the boxes which of the holidays to show on the calendar. For example, you can show not only official holidays, but also Orthodox holidays.
- Tincture of decoration. If the calendar needs improvement, you can always add the inscriptions you need, select any of the dates, configure, for example, the lunar calendar, add a page, etc. To do this, use the "Calendar" settings section.
- The "Add" section will help you add an inscription, logo, photo to your calendar. An example is shown in the screenshot below.
In general, a good and relatively simple way to create colorful and vibrant calendars (in my opinion ☻).
In Microsoft Word and Excel
Word and Excel are on every second home computer, which means that this method will be relevant and in demand. In addition, the calendar can be made quickly, without downloading or installing additional software. I will consider all the steps step by step using the example of Word, Excel 2016 (so that there are not so many of them ☻).

Online way to create a calendar
The network now has dozens of different sites for creating a variety of calendars. I will give a few examples, which I stopped myself ...
A simple site for creating a calendar, business card, envelope. It is very convenient to use it: everything is done in steps, everything is in Russian. The service supports JPG and PNG images, there is a collection of ready-made templates, beautiful fonts, etc. In general, it is convenient, fast, beautiful!
This site is notable for the fact that you can choose a theme and calendar template (for example, any holiday on February 23, March 8, etc.), then upload your photo to it, and download it to yourself. Note that any of the templates can be changed quite a lot: add text, change the background, change some elements.
Well, then, having printed out such a calendar, it will become an excellent and original gift.
By the way, your uploaded photo will be automatically processed with the necessary filters and neatly entered into the color scheme of the selected template.
In general, there are a lot of such sites, and I will not dwell on all of them ...
Calendars in their printed version, despite the many applets and widgets installed on computers or mobile devices, are still in demand, if only for convenience reasons. You do not need to open the program and look at the dates, you just need to pay attention to the calendar page or turn it over. And if you make a calendar yourself using special programs, this process can become very exciting. But what is the best calendar software of its kind? Let's try to figure it out.
Creating a calendar as a creative process
If we approach the issue of creating calendars exactly as a creative process, here the entire design in the form of frames or applied photos depends only on the user's imagination.
True, almost any program for creating calendars, or even an office editor that is not directly intended for this, can offer a fairly large selection of built-in templates. Naturally, at first, you can build on their use. However, it is much more interesting to change the built-in structures to your own with the replacement of some elements and saving the created template in the appropriate format.
The simplest program for creating calendars
To begin with, let's take a look at what the most common office editors Word and Excel can do. Do not be surprised that they are considered first, because even in such applications it is very easy to create a calendar.
Even with minimal skills in working with such applications, there should not be any particular difficulties. Basically, the creation process itself boils down to using tables, not to mention applying templates. But in Word, the numbering of days and the choice of months will have to be done using manual input of information, and in Excel, you can immediately set the format of each cell in the form of a date, and then select and drag the first field to create automatic numbering.
It goes without saying that the creation of the calendar is not limited to this. The disadvantage of office editors is that, with all the desire, in terms of inserting pictures into the corresponding fields, you cannot overclock here. You will either have to change the size in the editor itself, or set the optimal parameters in some kind of graphics application.
Separately, we can touch upon the question of the fact that creating a calendar in these editors also implies setting the sheet size. In Word, the indents and the size of the main sheet are set elementary, but in Excel, without the presence of an initialized printer in the system, this cannot be done. Alternatively, however, you can turn to Microsoft virtual printers for help.
Best software developments
But you yourself understand that in office programs, creating a calendar takes a lot of time, not to mention some laboriousness of the whole process. Therefore, isn't it easier to immediately turn to specialized utilities, which are exactly designed for this?
Today there are a lot of developments. However, the following can be noted as the simplest, but no less effective applications:
- "Design of calendars".
- TKexe Kalender.
- Mojosoft Photo Calendar Studio.
It is rather difficult to say which program for creating calendars from the above is the best. But, having considered some of their capabilities, users will be able to choose what they like.
"Design of calendars"
This is a program for creating calendars in Russian. Running a little ahead, we note that each of the presented developments has several modifications. And Calendar Design is no exception. At least on the Internet, there are versions from the third to the tenth, and most of the presented packages are portable, that is, they do not require installation on a hard drive.
The application is very easy to use. It is enough just to select a template indicating a certain time interval (quarter), then set the header formats, insert an unlimited number of photos (which will be automatically adjusted to the size of each cell), use the clipart toolkit, place contact or advertising information, and mark holidays or dates meaningful to the user (for example, birthdays). At the end of the work, the document is sent to print. At the same time, almost all models of laser or inkjet printers are supported.
TKexe Kalender
Before us is another program for creating calendars with photos. In essence, it is not much different from any similar software product. True, user reviews on the Internet look, to put it mildly, not very flattering.
This is only due to the fact that the application is not always correctly installed on Windows 7. In addition, some claim that the program does not have built-in databases with support for templates. This problem is solved quite simply by simply downloading add-ons from the Internet. The procedure after a full installation is no different from any other application.
Mojosoft Photo Calendar Studio
Finally, creating a calendar, as the comments on the forums testify, with this utility becomes the easiest thing. There are more possibilities here than the previous utilities, and the templates are much more diverse and beautiful.
In addition to the fact that the application supports almost all known graphic formats when inserting pictures, you can create non-standard large calendars in it, and then print. Naturally, you can mark the required calendar dates, and apply many completely non-standard effects in the design. But the utility itself requires activation by entering a special key.
Conclusion
As it is already clear, it is simply impossible to consider absolutely all popular programs. Nevertheless, if the user can master both office editors and the proposed utilities, the scope for creativity will be simply unlimited. However, if you advise something in terms of practical application, "Design of Calendars" will do for the first time. If you want to do something really professional, it is better to use Photo Calendar Studio (Russian language is supported in the program).
