Frequently Asked Questions:
Do my photos need to match the calendar's format?

Do I need camera files to use the online Digital Studio
No! You can use images from various media and sources, such as cameras, phones, tablets, or any device that captures or provides a quality image. If you have a scanner, you can scan your photos and save them on your computer. It's also possible to print downloaded images from social networks, applications like iCloud, Dropbox, Google Photos, Photobucket, Flickr, and many others. However, the resolution of these images may sometimes be far from optimal for printing.
Which image formats are accepted?
We accept JPEGs, BMPs, PNGs, and TIFFs. For optimal results, we recommend using the JPEG format. If you have HEIC files, we suggest converting them to JPEGs using the iMyFone media converter.
When will I receive my calendar if it is being delivered by mail?
We deliver across Canada, and you can generally expect to receive your calendar within seven business days.
