Using the design templates to create photo calendars

A Pixum photo calendar can be created intuitively and efficiently via the online editor, the Pixum Photo World software or with the Pixum Photo Book app for iOS and Android. The selection options are displayed step by step and explained via the help settings. For inspiration, you can also have a look at successful examples of Pixum's other customers in the section labelled 'Calendar examples'.

When you design your individual Pixum calendar, you start by selecting the calendar type and the format. All calendar types, wall, desk and annual calendars as well as specific calendars - for example, a photo advent calendar - are available. Calendar formats include the options A5, A4 and A3.

Once you have chosen the calendar type and the appropriate format, you'll have to choose the start month. You can, of course, opt for January as the standard calendar start month, but starting the calendar on the month of a birthday or season can also be an interesting, personal start month. To fill your calendar with photos, select the existing placeholders, or add others by using drag and drop.

If you want to further work on the calendar, you can also enlarge, reduce or rotate your images, as well as make subsequent image corrections. Always ensure that the image quality remains high enough for printing. The coloured smileys (from green = excellent quality, to red = insufficient quality) are there to guide you.

Your pictures can be embedded in different designs. The background of each month is also completely adjustable. These options allow you to customise the design according to your own wishes and to tailor it especially to suit different occasions, themes and people. For example, for a girl, choose motives and colours such as fairies or princesses in pink or rockets and shades of blue for boys. You can also add some autumn leaves and colours to match the respective season so that the months all have an individual touch.

In addition to the pre-installed templates, you can widen your options further by clicking on the "Download more" button. Some design templates are only available at an additional cost, but the template, e.g. one with numerous background colours, can be easily personalised and adapted to suit your personal taste.

Whether it's a gift for your loved ones or an advertising item for the company: Pixum Photo Calendars can be used in many different ways and are guaranteed to be a success - all year round.
