Year in Pixels

Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I’m so excited to share these 18 Year in Pixels printable trackers with you. I designed each one myself, putting a lot of thought into making them practical, easy to use, and a bit of fun too! Whether you want to track your moods, habits, weather, or something totally unique, these trackers are here to help you capture your year in a colorful and meaningful way.

They’re all free to download and print, so you can get started right away. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

What is a Year in Pixel Tracker?

The Year in Pixels tracker was created in 2015 by Camille of Passion Carnets (@passioncarnets), a French bullet journalist. You can read her full story on the official Bullet Journal’s blog.

A Year in Pixels turns your entire year into a color-coded grid. Each day gets one small square, and you fill it in with a color that matches your mood, habit, or any other activity. Instead of writing long notes, you get a snapshot that shows how your days have been going. By the end of the year, the grid becomes a picture of your routines and emotional patterns.

Its straightforward layout is one reason it has stayed popular for so many years. It also makes tracking feel easy and almost relaxing, which is why I created a whole collection of ready-to-use Year in Pixels pages—so you can start right away without drawing the grid yourself.
