Type or paste your list, and it prints as a clean checklist with tick boxes. Long lists run onto more pages; empty lines fill the rest so you can add by hand.

Tips for a checklist that works
One action per line. “Pack charger” beats “electronics.” If a line hides three steps, give each its own box.
Use sections. Start a line with # (or end a short line with a colon) and it prints as a heading: “# Kitchen,” “# Day before,” “Documents:”.
Put things in the order you’ll do them. A checklist that follows the job is faster to use than one sorted A to Z.
Add a column when people share it. “Who” for a family or team list, “Due” for deadlines, “Notes” for sizes or model numbers.
Keep it short enough to finish. Surgeons’ safety checklists famously fit on one page. If yours runs to three, split it into before / during / after.
Pasting from a notes app or spreadsheet? Bullets, dashes and “[ ]” at the start of a line are cleaned up automatically.
Print at Actual size (100%). The PDF is a true US Letter page with half-inch margins, so it prints edge to edge on any home printer without “Fit to page.”
Ink saver. Choose Black and “Lines only” for the lightest page, or keep the color for a sheet on the fridge.
Make it last. Slip the page into a sheet protector and tick it with a dry-erase marker. Wipe it on Sunday and use it again.
Rather tick it on your phone? “Make it an online list” turns what you typed into a list you can check off on any device and share with one link.
Questions
Is the printable checklist maker free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no limit. The PDF is made in your browser.
Can I make sections or headings?
Yes. Start a line with # or end a short line with a colon and it prints as a section heading without a tick box.
Can I print two columns?
Yes. Choose two columns to fit about twice as many items on a page, which suits packing and grocery lists.
What happens if my list is longer than one page?
It continues onto as many pages as it needs, each numbered, with the same header.
Can I make it a checklist I tick off on my phone instead?
Yes. “Make it an online list” turns the same items into a live checklist you can share with one link.
