How It Works
The Custom Calendar Maker uses advanced date calculation algorithms to create perfectly formatted calendars:
- Date Engine: Calculates exact day positions, leap years, and month lengths using JavaScript's native Date object for 100% accuracy across all supported years (1900-2100).
- Layout Generator: Creates responsive grid layouts that automatically adjust for different month lengths and starting day preferences while maintaining consistent spacing.
- Style System: Applies coordinated color schemes, typography, and visual elements through CSS styling that's optimized for both screen display and print output.
- Holiday Integration: Cross-references dates with a comprehensive US holiday database to automatically highlight and label important dates with appropriate styling.
- Canvas Rendering: Uses HTML5 Canvas technology to generate pixel-perfect images with professional-quality typography, proper margins, and print-optimized resolution (300 DPI).
All processing happens locally in your browser - no data is sent to external servers, ensuring your privacy and allowing offline use once the page loads.
