How to print Google Calendar (and what to do when its print isn’t enough)

Last updated: November 5, 2026

There are two ways to print Google Calendar: Google’s own Print button, which is quick but limited, and our free printer, which shows every event and gives you more layouts. This guide covers both, step by step.

Which way should I use?

You want… Use
A quick copy of this week or a quiet month Google’s Print button (below)
A busy month without cut-off events PrintNicely
Event details inside a week or month PrintNicely
Several months, a year, or calendars from different accounts PrintNicely

Way 1: Google’s Print button (computer only)

  1. Open Google Calendar on a computer.
  2. Pick what to print. At the top right, choose Day, Week, Month, Schedule or 4 days, then move to the dates you want with the ‹ › arrows.
  3. Click the ⚙ gear icon › Print.
    You’ll see: a Print preview page with options on the left.
  4. Adjust the options (see the panel below) and click Print.
  5. In your browser’s print window, pick a printer, or choose Save as PDF to get a file.

On the Print preview page you can change Font size, Orientation, Show weekends and Color / Black and white. When you print from Schedule view you also get Print descriptions and Print your response.

Way 2: print every event with PrintNicely

  1. Get your calendar in: on Print Google Calendar, either paste your calendar’s Secret address in iCal format (⚙ › Settings › your calendar › Integrate calendar) and click Load, or export a .zip (⚙ › Settings › Import & export › Export) and drop it on the page. (How to do either)
  2. Check the preview: your events appear as a printable page.
  3. Choose a layout (Month grid, Vertical week, Agenda list, Year…) and a design.
  4. Click Print or save as PDF.

Busy days continue on a clearly marked “continued” page, so nothing is ever cut off.

What might confuse you

  • “My printed month is missing events.” Google prints the month as fixed-size boxes; busy days don’t fit. Use Schedule view in Google, or PrintNicely’s Month grid.
  • “I can’t find Print descriptions.” It only appears when you print from Schedule view.
  • “The page has the website address and date on it.” Your browser adds those. In the print window, open More settings and untick Headers and footers.
  • “There’s no Print in the app on my phone.” The app can’t print. See printing Google Calendar from a phone.
  • “Text is tiny.” In Google, raise Font size. In PrintNicely, use Bold & clear design or Larger text. Bigger paper (A3/Legal) helps too.

Tips for a cleaner printout

  • Landscape for month and week, portrait for lists.
  • Untick Headers and footers in the print window.
  • Print a test page first if the printer hasn’t been used in a while.

Frequently asked questions

Can you print Google Calendar?
Yes, from a computer. Open Google Calendar, choose a view, then click the gear icon and Print. The Google Calendar app on phones has no print option.
Why does my printed month view leave events out?
Google prints the month as a grid of fixed-size boxes. When a day has more events than its box can hold, the extra ones don’t fit. Use the Schedule view instead, or a tool that lets busy days continue onto another page.
How do I print Google Calendar with descriptions?
Switch to Schedule view, open Print, and tick “Print descriptions”. Descriptions only print from the Schedule view.
How do I print Google Calendar without the weekends?
In the Print preview page, untick “Show weekends”.
