EZ Photo Calendar Creator

Ez Photo Calendar Creator, latest version 5.41, developed by Spectrum Software, Inc., stands out in the category of Office Tools, specifically in Mind mapping subcategory. This software allows users to create personalized photo calendars using a variety of templates and layouts.

With this tool, users can craft different types of calendars such as Wall Calendar, CD Case Calendar, and Annual Calendar. It supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Additionally, older versions like 5.4, 5.3, and 5.2 are also available.

The software, available to download for free, emphasizes convenience and customization. Users can easily add holidays and personal events, import dates from CSV files from Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and Google Calendar, and select from over 40 page layouts. Photos and events can be effortlessly dragged and dropped into the calendar, making the creation process intuitive and user-friendly.

Customization options are extensive, allowing for the addition of captions, decorations such as snowflakes, hearts, and talk balloons, and even the incorporation of a logo or imprint text. Users can choose from over 300 backgrounds or create their own, ensuring the calendar reflects their personal tastes. The program file names include ezphotocalendarcreator5.exe, ezphotocalendarcreator.exe, EZPhotoCalendarCreator2.exe, and photocalendar.exe.

Printing can be done at home or professionally, but users should note that printing without a watermark requires purchasing an upgrade. The application would benefit from built-in basic image-editing tools to avoid switching between this and external editors. However, the overall ease of use and the fun in creating a family collage project make it a worthy download.
