To-Do List Printable Generator
Generate a printable checklist in A4 or US Letter, with your choice of checkbox style, one or two columns, and a custom title.
About this to-do list generator
Set a title, choose how many lines you need, and this tool builds a clean printable checklist — no fixed template, no fixed item count, no watermark. Checkbox style is entirely up to you: square boxes read as more formal and work well for structured task lists, circles feel a little softer and suit a personal planner or journal, and "none" drops the box entirely and leaves just a blank line, useful if you'd rather mark items with a simple check or strikethrough by hand.
Two columns fit roughly twice as many items on a single page as one column, which is worth switching to once your list runs past 25 or so items — a long single-column list either runs off the page or squeezes each line uncomfortably thin, while splitting into two columns keeps line spacing comfortable at any length. Item numbers are optional; leave them off for a casual list, or turn them on if you want to reference "item 14" out loud or in a follow-up note.
The date stamp under the title always reflects today's actual date when the page is generated — useful for a daily task list you print fresh each morning, or simply as a record of when a particular list was made. Turn it off for a list that isn't tied to a specific day, like a packing list or a recurring grocery checklist you'll reuse as a template.
Nothing you configure here is uploaded anywhere; the list is generated entirely in your browser. As with the other printable pages here, make sure your print dialog is set to 100% scale rather than "fit to page" so spacing matches the preview.
Every row is generated fresh rather than pulled from a fixed template, which is why item count, columns, checkbox style, and numbering can all be combined freely — a 45-item, two-column, numbered circle checklist works exactly the same way as a plain 10-item single-column square one.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change how many items are on the list?
Yes, set any number from 5 to 60. If you need a very long list, switching to two columns keeps individual lines from getting too cramped.
What's the difference between the checkbox styles?
Square and circle are both real checkboxes you can tick or fill in by hand; "none" removes the box entirely and leaves just a blank writing line, for anyone who prefers to mark completed items a different way.
When should I use two columns instead of one?
Once your list runs past roughly 25 items, two columns keep each line's height comfortable rather than squeezing a long single column into cramped spacing to fit the page.
Does the date update automatically?
Yes, it always shows the actual current date when you generate or print the page. Turn it off if your list isn't tied to a specific day.
Will this print at the correct size for my paper?
Yes, as long as your print dialog is set to 100% scale or "actual size" rather than "fit to page," which some printers default to and which would shrink or stretch the layout slightly.
