Create a Calendar Template
Create a calendar template when you want customers to personalize a prepared calendar design.
Calendar templates can include photo holders, text fields, backgrounds, clipart, date pads, holiday collections, and month/page layouts.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- Chosen the correct calendar blank.
- Prepared the template name.
- Prepared the calendar size and orientation.
- Prepared any tags, occasions, or language settings.
- Prepared JPG images for sample photos or backgrounds.
- Prepared PNG files for transparent clipart, if needed.
- Decided which holidays or event collections the calendar should use.
Do not upload CMYK images. Use RGB JPG files for photos and backgrounds to avoid unexpected color conversion issues.
