Prices begin at just $6.95.
Now that summer has ended (sigh…), people need something else to look forward to. Enter: the holiday season! I know I know, it’s only the first day of October. And while I definitely disapprove of putting your decorations up before Thanksgiving, that doesn’t mean you can’t plan your gifts ahead of time; especially if the price is right. That’s why we’re starting our calendar promotion early this year. We’ve cut our prices for annual wall calendars! Starting at just $6.95 for 5 calendars, these calendars are a steal!
Personalized monthly and annual calendars are super easy to make at Pixxlz.com, where our templates guide you through the editing process. Use our templates as they come or edit them to get a truly unique calendar. Our calendars are a great gift for your family, friends, or co-workers. Order duplicates and spread the love. That’s not in the realm of re-gifting is it?
What’s so great about our calendars? Well, by now you already know that they are eco-friendly. Printed digitally using chemical-free toner on recycled paper, the printing process we use to create your calendars is reason enough to feel good about your holiday present.
Need help? Pixxlz customer service is easy to reach and happy to help you with any of your design problems.

There’s a new design feature at Pixxlz.com that makes creating your eco-friendly printed products even easier! A lot of times, people want to use our business card or flyer templates, but would prefer to customize the background while maintaining the pre-designed text layout. Well we heard your requests people! Customizing the background of a template is now a reality. Here’s how you do it: When you click on one of our product templates and start designing, there is the option to “Add an Image” on the upper right corner of the design toolbar. Click here! With the new feature, after you have browsed for an image, you can choose to “Check to Replace Design Background,” which replaces the entire background image with your own. You no longer have to decide between uploading your own file and creating a design on a blank template to customize a design. And this, my friends, makes creating custom eco-friendly printed products at Pixxlz.com as easy as ever.
What’s so helpful about this feature, you may ask? Now you can use the text layouts of a template that you like and replace the background image with your own. The best part is that you don’t lose the text box that went with the original template, so no need to worry about sizing or centering a new one: it’s already done for you. Check out the two templates below; the left one is unedited and the right template has had an image added into the background using the new feature.


Want to get paid for templates you design? Pixxlz.com features collections from graphic designers and photographers who want to share their work with our customers. Each time someone selects and buys one of your designs, you earn commission. It’s a great way to gain exposure as a designer and earn some extra money for designs you have already created. Interested? We’d love to hear from you. Contact us for info!

Decorating a new apartment isn’t easy… I know from experience. You want to personalize your space with meaningful pieces while staying within your budget. Prints of your own photographs are often a perfect solution. I love taking and printing pictures, but lately I’ve been looking for creative new ways to capture a shot. That’s why I thought this concept from photojojo.com was so clever! They suggest taking a picture frame off the wall and incorporating it into the actual shot. Any size, any shape or color, this is a really interesting way to create varying perspectives into your photograph and really get creative with the process. Frame the subject of your photograph or something in the foreground of the shot; it’s completely up to you!

Get creative with editing!
And not only is it fun to stage the pictures; you can also get artistic with the editing process. I love changing the tone from color to sepia or black and white. What about changing only the framed part of the picture?
Why not take your creativity the extra mile… at Pixxlz.com; you can turn your picture into an 11″ x 17″ poster. We can even mount it for you! Posters from Pixxlz are easy to create and super inexpensive. But don’t give all our secrets away…
