Free Printable 2027 Calendar (With US Holidays) + How to Print Your Own Photo Calendar

Quick answer: scroll down for a free 2027 calendar, Sunday to Saturday, with major US holidays marked. Press Ctrl + P (or Cmd + P on a Mac) and choose Save as PDF or your printer. Print in landscape at 100% scale for the biggest squares. 2027 starts on a Friday and isn't a leap year, so February has 28 days.

2027 at a glance: key dates

Federal holiday observance follows the US Office of Personnel Management's rule: a holiday on a Saturday is observed the Friday before, and one on a Sunday the Monday after. Your employer or school may differ.

How to make and print a photo calendar at home

A DIY photo calendar makes a good holiday gift, and printing it yourself costs a fraction of an online photo service.

1. Pick a template

Canva, Microsoft Word (File > New, search "photo calendar"), Google Docs templates, Apple Pages and the free Canon Creative Park, Epson Creative Print and HP Smart apps all include photo calendar layouts. A wall calendar is usually two letter-size sheets per month: a photo on top and the grid below.

2. Choose photos that print well

For a full letter-size photo, use images at least 2,400 x 3,000 pixels (about 300 pixels per inch). Phone photos are fine. Screenshots and photos saved from social media usually aren't.

3. Choose the right paper

• Photo pages: matte or luster photo paper hangs flat and doesn't glare on a wall. Glossy looks punchier but reflects light. See glossy vs matte vs luster.
• Grid pages: 65–80 lb cover cardstock (176–216 gsm) feels sturdy and takes pen well. Our paper weight chart converts the labels.
• Check your printer's maximum paper weight first, and feed heavy sheets through the rear or manual tray. How to print on cardstock has brand-by-brand settings.

4. Use the right print settings

Set the paper type to match what's loaded (for example "Photo Paper Matte"), quality to High or Best, and let the pages dry for a few minutes before stacking. For two-sided calendars, print one side, let it dry fully, then flip.

5. Bind it

Hole-punch the top and use binder rings or ribbon, or take the pages to an office store for coil binding, which usually costs a few dollars. A small nail hole through the cover card is enough to hang it.

How much ink does a photo calendar use?

A full-page color photo uses many times more ink than a page of text. Expect a cartridge printer's standard color cartridge to cover only a handful of full-page photos, so a 13-page calendar can empty one. On an ink tank printer the same calendar costs well under a dollar in ink. If you're printing several calendars as gifts, buy spare cartridges before you start. Find ink for your printer.
