10-1Sharing as an image and saving to Photos
This turns the month you are viewing into a single picture, exactly as decorated. Events, stickers, notes, photos, and pen drawings all go in. If you are viewing a chosen category, only that category's events go in. Events from categories you hid in “My calendar” do not go into the picture.
Opening “Share as image”
Open it with the share button at the top of the month screen. What opens depends on the calendar you are viewing.
If the table is wider than the screen, swipe sideways to see all of it.
| Calendar you are viewing | When you tap the share button |
|---|---|
| “My calendar” | A menu opens. Tap “Export as image”. “Category sharing” and “Create a shared calendar” in the same menu are covered in “Chapter 7 Sharing”. |
| A shared calendar | The “Share as image” screen opens directly. |
Choosing a format and saving
Under “Format”, choose “Calendar page” or “Story (9:16)”. The preview is redrawn in the chosen format.
Check the preview.
Export with the buttons below.
If the table is wider than the screen, swipe sideways to see all of it.
| Device | Button | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone · iPad | “Share” | Sends the picture to another app, such as Messages or Mail. |
| iPhone · iPad | “Save to Photos” | Saves it to the Photos app. When it is saved, “Saved to Photos.” appears. |
| Mac | “Share” | Sends the picture through the Mac's share menu. |
| Mac | “Save…” | Choose where to save the picture file and save it. |
On iPhone and iPad, the first time you tap “Save to Photos”, the device asks for permission for Calliary to add photos. The prompt says “Used to save images the app makes to Photos. Calliary does not read your photos or send them anywhere.” If you allow it, the picture is saved to the Photos app.
“Calendar page” is a picture of the decorated month page only. “Story (9:16)” puts that page in the middle of a vertical 9:16 background, together with the month title.
Calliary mark
Pictures made on the free plan carry a small Calliary mark in the bottom right corner. On the free plan, “The image carries a small Calliary mark in the corner.” and “With Pro, the image is saved without the Calliary mark.” appear together below the buttons. With Pro, only “With Pro, the image is saved without the Calliary mark.” appears. Pictures made with Pro (including subscription, lifetime, and the free trial period) carry no mark. There is no switch to turn the mark on or off. If you become Pro while the screen is open, the preview is redrawn without the mark.
10-2Saving as a PDF (Pro)
This makes your calendar into a PDF file, one month or one year at a time. Each page of the PDF looks like the decorated month in “Share as image”, and each page is stamped with the year and month. The Calliary mark is not included. You can choose the paper size, so use it for printing.
“Save as PDF” is a Pro feature. On the free plan, a Pro badge appears next to the “Save as PDF” row and the “Create PDF” button, and tapping “Create PDF” opens the purchase screen. You can still choose the options on the free plan.
Making a calendar PDF
Open “Share as image” with the share button on the month screen (“10-1 Sharing as an image and saving to Photos”).
Tap “Save as PDF” below the preview.
Choose “Month” or “Year”.
Choose the period. For “Month”, choose one month from this month back to 36 months ago. For “Year”, choose one year from this year back to 10 years ago. At first, the month you were viewing is selected. If you were viewing a future month, this month is selected. For “Year”, this year is selected at first.
Under “Paper size”, choose “A4” or “Letter”.
If you chose “Year”, choose one of “Mascot”, “Minimal”, and “Month preview” under “Cover”. Below the cover, “You can pick a cover without the character.” appears. The “Minimal” and “Month preview” covers have no character.
Tap “Create PDF”. While it is being made, the button shows “Getting it ready”, and for “Year” it shows which page it is on, as in “3 / 13”.
When it is done, the button changes. On iPhone and iPad, send it to another app with “Share”. On Mac, click “Share” or “Save…”.
If the table is wider than the screen, swipe sideways to see all of it.
| What you chose | PDF pages |
|---|---|
| “Month” | 1 page for that month |
| “Year” | 1 cover page and 12 pages for January to December, 13 pages in all |
The PDF contains the calendar you were viewing. Open it from “My calendar” and it contains “My calendar”. Open it from a shared calendar and it contains that calendar. If you were viewing a chosen category, only that category's events go in. If you change an option, the PDF already made is discarded and the “Create PDF” button appears again.
Making a diary PDF
You can also gather your diary into a PDF. Open Settings ▸ “My diary” and tap “Save as PDF” at the top of the list.
Choose the period with the “Starts” and “Ends” dates. At first, the 1st of this month through today is selected. You cannot choose dates after today.
Choose the “Paper size” and “Cover”.
Tap “Create PDF”.
If there are no diary entries in the chosen period, “No diary entries in this period” appears and you cannot tap “Create PDF”. Writing the diary is covered in “Chapter 6 Diary”.
