Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize the appearance of my printed checklist?
Yes! You can customize several aspects including checkbox style (square, circle, bullet, or dash), font size (12pt to 18pt), line spacing (compact to spacious), and add optional titles and dates. The tool also generates print-optimized formatting for clean, professional results.
What's the best way to format my checklist items for printing?
Enter each item on a separate line in the text area. Keep items concise but descriptive, use action verbs when possible, and avoid overly long sentences. The tool automatically formats each line as a separate checklist item with proper spacing for easy reading and checking off.
How do I print my checklist or save it for later use?
After generating your checklist, you can use the print button to open your browser's print dialog, or download the checklist as an HTML file for future use. The generated checklist uses print-optimized CSS that ensures clean formatting on paper with proper margins and spacing.
Is there a limit to how many items I can include in one checklist?
While there's no strict limit, we recommend keeping checklists to 15-25 items for optimal readability and practical use. Longer lists can be split into multiple checklists by category or priority. The tool handles both short daily task lists and longer project checklists effectively.

Absolutely! The tool is versatile and works great for any type of list: daily tasks, shopping lists, travel packing, project milestones, cleaning schedules, and more. Simply adjust the title and formatting options to match your specific use case and print multiple checklists as needed.
