Create Your Printable Star Chart

A printable star chart is a high-resolution digital image showing the exact position of stars, constellations, and planets in the night sky from any specific date, time, and location. You can download and print it at home or at a professional print shop.

Simply enter the birth date, time (if known), and birthplace into our star chart generator above. We'll create a personalised star map showing exactly how the stars aligned at that moment. You can add names and custom messages for a truly special gift.

Your star chart is 7016 x 9933 pixels at 300 DPI, which prints beautifully at:

• A3 (29.7 x 42 cm / 11.7 x 16.5 inches) - full quality
• A4 (21 x 29.7 cm / 8.3 x 11.7 inches) - perfect for most frames
• A5 or smaller for cards and keepsakes

Yes, the file has a transparent background so you can print on white, cream, black, or any coloured paper you like.

At home: Print on standard photo paper or cardstock. Most home printers handle A4 well.

At a print shop: Take your files to Snappy Snaps, Boots Photo, Staples, or any high street printer for professional A3 prints. Upload the PNG file and select your size.

Pro tip: Matte or lustre photo paper gives a beautiful finish. The transparent background means you can choose white, cream, or even textured paper.

Your personalised star chart is generated instantly after payment. You'll receive an email with your download link within minutes, making it the perfect last-minute gift. Your files will be available for 30 days.

You receive two high-resolution PNG files: a clean version perfect for framing, and a key version with constellation labels so you can identify what you're looking at. Both are print-ready at 300 DPI.

Yes! You can create star maps for any specific date - past or future. Our astronomical calculations work for any date, so you can capture the night sky from a birthday decades ago, a wedding anniversary, or any meaningful moment. Simply enter the date and location, and we'll show you exactly how the stars appeared.
