About the Collection
This free year in pixels yearly trackers collection includes thoughtfully designed templates that help you visualize your whole year at a glance. Each printable is a fillable template that works as a pixels tracker where every single pixel represents one day of the year, making it an efficient way to reflect on good days, bad days, and everything in between.
You’ll find two different pixels template layouts in this set. The difference lies in how the months and days of the month are arranged on the page, giving you options depending on how you prefer. Some people like a more compact pixels chart, while others prefer a layout that clearly separates the months and dates for easier reading at the end of the year.
To make the templates accessible for different planners and notebooks, each design is provided in three different sizes: A4, A5, and B5.These sizes make it easy to integrate the printable year into your setup, be it a traditional planner, a bullet journal or a digital-style paper system.
Each template includes:
- Pixels for the entire year (one box for each day of the year)
- A dedicated color legend section to define different moods, habits, or events
- A small notes section for short reflections, reminders, or important things worth remembering
This makes the printable a flexible reflection sheet and a creative tracker you can return to at the end of the year—or even on your year anniversary.
The templates follow a free minimalist design approach. Clean lines, clear spacing, and well-balanced white areas ensure the focus stays on your tracking rather than on decoration. This minimalist template works beautifully for reflective journals, notebook therapy, and mood tracking without feeling overwhelming.
Layout and Format
The layout is intentionally kept uncluttered, with content balanced across the page and margins that work well whether you bind your pages, use hole punches, or store them in a folder. The design also leaves enough white areas on the right side of the page and outside edge so nothing feels cramped when printed.
All templates are provided in portrait layout, and black and white only. This is a deliberate choice to ensure the best result when you start shading in your pixels.
Using white paper allows your chosen colors—whether they represent happy days, good days, bad days, or different moods—to stand out clearly. Printing on colored paper is not advisable, as it may affect contrast and make certain colors harder to see, especially when tracking subtle mood changes or daily mood variations.
The black-and-white base also gives you complete freedom to create your own system, whether you prefer soft pastels, bold markers, or muted tones for mental health tracking.
