A large format A3 or even A2 calendar will not always fit on a wall in your kitchen or hallway ? and even if it will: sometimes a smaller, subtler format from the Pixum photo calendar range is still be more suitable choice. Here you can read up on which themes are best suited for a calendar and how you can make the perfect choice.
Even with smaller photo calendar formats, do not underestimate the importance of a good print resolution? in most cases, each image should be at least 300ppi. But don?t worry: in both the Pixum Photo World software as well as in the Photo Book app and the Online Editor, a warning triangle appears if the resolution of an image is too low.
In the case of photo calendars that are intended or can only be looked at from a distance, photos with a slightly lower resolution (e.g. 150ppi) will still often appear clear and sharp. For images that are also or are mainly to be viewed close up, high resolutions from 300ppi are recommended.
The smaller an image, the more difficult it is to see details and subtleties. For this reason you should try to select an image in which the subject matter can be seen clearly and precisely and avoid photos that are overly busy. For example, shots in which there is a clear distinction between the foreground, the middleground and background, on account of high depth-of-field, are particularly well suited for small photo calendars.
Also well suited, for example, are photos that you have captured using the photo sharing app Instagram: these images are ultimately shot with a view to being displayed on a small interface anyway ? your smartphone screen ? and generally in square format, which makes their inclusion in a Pixum photo calendar particularly simple.

“Great quality product. As always, the customer service is excellent. I ordered the wrong book size and the team were very helpful in correcting it.”
“Very happy with my latest Pixum photo book celebrating my wife's 70th birthday with one picture for every year. Print quality is excellent even from rephotographed old b/w prints. And the service from the Pixum team is always helpful and friendly.”
“Lovely photo book and very good quality. Will definitely use again.”
“I love my book and really enjoyed putting it together. The quality is really good. In the beginning it took a little while to navigate the app but I soon got the hang of most of what it did but not all. I would have liked it to do a few more things such as the ability to place photos in shapes and clouds etc. I also think the price point is rather steep and probably would make more books if they weren?t so expensive.”
“Great service and quality from you as always”
