Can you believe this is my 10th year creating free photo calendar templates?! Time really does fly. These little projects have become one of my favorite annual traditions. And they make the best personalized holiday gifts.
Photo calendars are fun, affordable, and meaningful… especially when you fill them with your favorite memories. The best part? You can design your own in just a few minutes using the Project Life App. No fancy design skills required!
How to Make a Photo Calendar Using the Project Life App (+ Free Calendar Template)!
1. Pick your favorite 2026 free calendar template set and download it onto your phone (or your computer and airdrop to your phone). This year there are 4 template sets:
2. Open the Project Life App → Tap Create → Select 4×6 Prints (that’s the collage section).
3. Add your photo + calendar template to each month’s layout.
✨ Pro tip: Before you start, flag 12 favorite photos in your camera roll. When you’re designing, you can open the “Favorites” album inside the app… everything you need will be right there!
4. Order prints right through the app! Or export the finished collages to your camera roll and order from any company you prefer.
5. Gift them! Consider including this magnetic frame for displaying the calendar on the fridge or get them bound at your local print shop.
If you have never made a photo calendar before you will love how simple this project is to do. Each month highlights fun memories and it’s fun to remember them through the year. It is a simple project that feels personal and meaningful, and once you try it you may find yourself making one every year.
This project has become a fan favorite every year, and I love seeing how you use the templates… as stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or a little treat for your own desk. Have fun creating your 2026 photo calendar!
