How to print Google Calendar from your phone

Last updated: November 5, 2026

The Google Calendar app on iPhone and Android has no print button, and it can’t export your calendar either. You can still print from your phone; here are the options, with every tap.

Which option should I use?

Your situation Best option
A quick printout and you only have your phone Option 1: desktop site in the phone’s browser
You can use a computer for a minute Option 2: export on the computer
A school, team or shared calendar has a link (webcal:// or .ics) Option 3: paste the link into PrintNicely

Option 1: the desktop site in your phone’s browser (about 3 minutes)

  1. Open your phone’s browser (Safari or Chrome, not the Calendar app) and go to calendar.google.com.
  2. Switch to the desktop version:
    • iPhone, Safari: tap aA in the address bar › Request Desktop Website.
    • Android, Chrome: tap ⋮ › tick Desktop site.
      You’ll see: the full computer version of Google Calendar, very small. Pinch to zoom.
  3. Pick a view (Day, Week, Month, Schedule), then tap the ⚙ gear › Print.
  4. Tap Print on Google’s print preview. Your phone’s own print screen opens:
    • iPhone: choose a printer, or tap Share (the square with an arrow) › Save to Files for a PDF.
    • Android: choose a printer, or Save as PDF.
Safari · iPhone
  1. aA
  2. Request Desktop Website
  3. ⚙
  4. Print

This has the same limits as on a computer: busy days in the month view get cut off.

Option 2: export on a computer, print anywhere

Google only lets you export on a computer: ⚙ › Settings › Import & export › Export (full steps). Email the .zip to yourself, then open Print Google Calendar on your phone, tap Choose files and pick it. Every event prints, nothing cut off.

Many school, team and holiday calendars give you a link (often starting with webcal://). On Print Google Calendar, paste it under Or paste a calendar link and tap Load. No computer needed.

What might confuse you

  • “calendar.google.com keeps opening the app.” Long-press the link and choose Open in Safari/Chrome, or type the address straight into the browser.
  • “I can’t find Request Desktop Website.” In Safari it’s under aA in the address bar; in older iOS it’s under the AA or share menu.
  • “The print preview is blank or cut off.” Rotate the phone to landscape, or use Option 2.
  • “Where’s my PDF?” On iPhone it’s in the Files app where you saved it; on Android, in Downloads.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Google Calendar app have a print option?
No. Neither the iPhone nor the Android app can print. Printing is only built into the web version of Google Calendar.
Can I export my Google Calendar on my phone?
No. Google only offers calendar export on a computer, through the web version of Google Calendar.
What is the easiest way to print a Google Calendar if I only have a phone?
Open calendar.google.com in your phone’s browser, switch the browser to its desktop-site mode, then use the gear icon and Print. It’s fiddly on a small screen but usually works.
