Create Your Custom Photo Calendar

Mixbook offers two formats and three sizes for custom calendars: 12 x 12” square, 11 x 8.5” landscape, and 14 x 11” landscape. Size options vary with the different design themes. Choose the size and format before starting your calendar project, and you may also select a different size (when available) before ordering. 

Yes! Mixbook has hundreds of professionally designed calendar themes, all 100% customizable. Themes are available in a wide variety of color schemes and design aesthetics, such as rustic, vintage, botanical, classic, simple, and modern. Browse the themes and you’re sure to find one that suits your style.

Start your calendar project and it will launch in Mixbook Studio™. Here, locate the “Photos” panel on the left. There are several ways to add photos to the project:

• Drag and drop photo files into the panel from your computer or device
• Add photos from your phone by scanning a QR code (or use the free Mixbook app for iOS)
• Add photos previously uploaded to your Mixbook account
• Add photos from Google Photos, Facebook, or SmugMug

Once your photos are uploaded, you can drag and drop them into the photo frames throughout your calendar theme. Or, use Auto-Create, a tool that instantly places photos in the calendar with just a click. (Tip: You can reposition photos after using Auto-Create, or at any time.)

It’s up to you! Click the “Manage events” button above your calendar in Mixbook Studio™. Here, find a comprehensive list of public holidays. Click the circle next to any holidays that you wish to show in your calendar. 

Use the “My events” tab to add your own events, such as birthdays, school and work events, personal events, and any other reminders of your choice.

Delivery date estimates (which include production times of 1-2 business days) vary by location and your choice of shipping option. Economy, standard, expedited, and rush shipping options are available for US domestic delivery, with similar options for other locations. Visit our shipping estimator page for more info.

For all Mixbook projects, we recommend using .JPG/.JPEG formats with a minimum 300 DPI. Other options include .HEIC (common for iPhone photos), and .PNG, which might upload more slowly due to larger file sizes. 

Basic photo editing tools are available in Mixbook Studio™, but for the best results, we recommend making any necessary edits or color corrections before uploading.
