How to Print Google Calendar

To print Google Calendar, open calendar.google.com on a computer, pick the view you want (Day, Week, Month, Schedule or 4 days), click the Settings gear at the top right, then Print. On the Print preview page you can change font size, orientation and color, and then click Print. The Google Calendar app on iPhone and Android can't print.

I build hora Calendar, a Mac app that works with Google Calendar, so I spend a lot of time inside Google's own menus. The steps below follow Google's Print your calendar help page, checked on 10 November 2026.

How to print Google Calendar on a computer

This works the same in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, on a Mac or a PC:

1. Open Google Calendar in your browser.
2. At the top right, choose the range you want to print: Day, Week, Month, Schedule or 4 days. Move to the right date first.
3. Click the Settings gear, then Print.
4. On the Print preview page, adjust the options (more on them below).
5. Click Print, then pick your printer in your browser's print dialog.

The view you pick decides the layout. Week and Month give you a grid. Schedule gives you a list, which is the only way to get event descriptions on paper. If you're not sure which view fits, my guide to Google Calendar views compares them.

Print preview options that actually matter

Google's print preview is small, but these settings change the result a lot:

• View. The preview has its own View menu, separate from the calendar's Day, Week, Month, Schedule or 4 days switcher. This week print used Auto.
• Orientation. Choose Landscape for Week and Month views. Portrait usually suits Day and Schedule.
• Show weekends. Untick it to give the five working days more room.
• Show events you have declined. Leave it unchecked if you don't want declined events on the page.
• Font size. Bigger text is easier to read, but Google notes it won't change how many days fit on a page.
• Color & style. Full color prints your calendar colors. It also shows your RSVPs: a transparent box means you didn't respond, a crossed-out circle means No, a full color box means Yes, and a question mark means Maybe.

Google also prints event locations or rooms when there's space for them.

How to print only some calendars

Print uses whatever calendars are visible. Before you click Print, go to My calendars and Other calendars on the left and untick any calendar you don't want on paper. A calendar without a check mark is hidden, so it won't print. Tick them again when you're done.

How to print Google Calendar with event details

Grid views only show titles and times. To print descriptions too:

1. Switch to Schedule view.
2. Click the Settings gear, then Print.
3. In Print preview, select Print descriptions and, if you want it, Print your response.
4. Click Print.

Long descriptions take up a lot of paper. Set a short date range in Schedule view before printing.

How to save Google Calendar as a PDF

A PDF is often more useful than paper: you can email it, keep it offline or print it later.

1. Follow the steps to print your calendar.
2. In Chrome's print window, under Destination, choose Save as PDF, then click Save.
3. On a Mac in Safari, open the PDF menu at the bottom left of the print dialog and choose Save as PDF.

The file lands in your Downloads folder unless you pick another place.

Can you print Google Calendar from an iPhone or Android phone?

Not from the Google Calendar app. A Google Calendar Product Expert confirmed on Google's help forum that the mobile app has no print option. Your options:

• Use a computer. It's the only route Google documents, and it gives the cleanest output.
• Try the desktop site in your phone's browser. Request the desktop version of calendar.google.com and follow the computer steps. It can be fiddly on a small screen.
• Take a screenshot. Open the view you need, screenshot it and print the image. Quick, but you lose detail.

Older guides suggest Google Cloud Print. Google discontinued that service, so it's no longer an option.

Print Google Calendar from Apple Calendar on a Mac

If your Google account is already in Apple's Calendar app (here's how to add Google Calendar to Apple Calendar), you can print from there. According to Apple's Calendar user guide, choose File > Print, then pick a print layout, a time range, which calendars to include and the text size. To print just a few events, Shift-click them first and choose Selected Events in the View menu of the print window.

This is handy if you want Apple's print layouts or want Google and iCloud calendars on one page.

Do you still need to print?

People print calendars for a wall planner, a family fridge, a meeting handout or a backup. Those are good reasons. But if you print because the browser tab is a hassle to keep open, a native app is the better fix. hora shows your Google calendars in day, 5-day, week and month views, plus a menu bar view and widgets, so your week is one glance away on the Mac. It also works offline. You can try it free for 14 days on the pricing page. For other ways to keep Google Calendar on your desktop, see 5 ways to use Google Calendar on a Mac.
