Add your subjects and weekly hour targets — the schedule fills itself in automatically, spread across your available days.
Spreading a subject across three shorter sessions during the week tends to work better than one long cram block — it matches how spaced repetition improves retention. Leave real breaks between blocks; back-to-back sessions with no gap are the most common reason a timetable gets abandoned by day three.
Free Study Timetable Generator — Drag, Drop, Download
A good timetable generator shouldn't fight you over where a block goes. This one works the way you'd expect a weekly planner to work: drag directly onto the grid to create a study session, drag it again to move it to a different day or time, and drag the bottom edge to make it longer or shorter. No forms to fill out for every single block, no page reloads — just click, drag, done.
It's built specifically as a study timetable generator and student timetable generator rather than a general scheduling tool, which shapes a few of the defaults: study-friendly time blocks in 30-minute increments, subject color-coding, and templates built around exam revision and work-study balance rather than generic business meetings.
What this tool actually does: a drag-and-drop weekly grid for planning your own study time, with free PNG export. Pro Mode adds Smart Auto-Fill scheduling, a downloadable calendar file that opens directly in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, PDF export, and weekly hour analytics per subject.
How to Build a Study Timetable — Step by Step
Revision Timetables for GCSE, A-Level, IB and Exams
A large share of people searching for a revision timetable generator are building one for a specific set of exams — GCSE revision timetable, A-Level revision timetable, IB revision timetable, or a broader exam timetable generator covering finals across several subjects. The Exam Revision template gives you a starting structure, but the more useful approach for most students is Smart Auto-Fill in Pro Mode: list your exam subjects with a target number of hours each per week, and it distributes revision sessions across your available days on its own, in focused chunks rather than one unmanageable block per subject.
This works the same way regardless of exam board or qualification, since you're the one defining the subjects and hours — there's no fixed subject list baked into the tool, so it fits GCSE science revision as easily as an IB Diploma subject mix or university finals.
Smart Auto-Fill — Automated Scheduling, Explained Honestly
Searches for an AI timetable generator or even a ChatGPT timetable generator usually come from people who just want the tedious part — manually placing dozens of blocks — done automatically. Pro Mode's Smart Auto-Fill does exactly that: enter your subjects, how many hours each needs per week, which days you're free, and it fills in the grid using a scheduling algorithm that spreads sessions evenly and respects the break length you set. It's worth being precise about what that actually is — it's automated scheduling logic, not a language model or machine-learning system, and that distinction is described accurately here rather than borrowing "AI" as a label it doesn't need.
Spreading a subject across three 1-hour sessions during the week generally beats a single 3-hour cram block for retention — this is why Smart Auto-Fill splits longer weekly totals into shorter chunks by default rather than one long block per subject.
Add Your Timetable to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar
A weekly grid is useful for planning, but it's easy to ignore once you close the tab. Pro Mode's calendar export solves that by generating a standard .ics calendar file — open it and it imports directly into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app that supports the iCalendar format, with each study block set to repeat every week automatically. That means your timetable shows up alongside everything else in your actual calendar, with reminders and notifications working the same way they do for any other event.
If you'd rather keep things as an image or printable document, PNG download is free in Simple Mode, and Pro Mode adds a print-ready PDF version — useful for pinning a physical copy above your desk alongside syncing it digitally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about building, auto-filling and syncing your study timetable
Start by listing your subjects and how many hours each needs per week, then drag directly onto the weekly grid to block out time for each one — mixing shorter, more frequent sessions works better for retention than one long block per subject. Leave real breaks between sessions so the schedule is realistic enough to actually follow.
Yes, this tool is completely free, including the drag-and-drop grid, PNG download, and in Pro Mode the calendar export, PDF download and Smart Auto-Fill scheduling. No account or signup required.
Yes. Use the Exam Revision template as a starting point, or list your exam subjects in Smart Auto-Fill with target hours per week and it spreads revision sessions across your available days. Works for any exam board or qualification since you define the subjects yourself.
Pro Mode's Smart Auto-Fill uses a scheduling algorithm, not a language model. You give it subjects, weekly hour targets and available days, and it distributes sessions evenly with breaks between them — described as automated scheduling because that's a more accurate description of how it works.
Yes, in Pro Mode. Download the .ics calendar file and open it — it imports directly into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any app supporting the standard iCalendar format, with each block repeating weekly.
Yes. PNG image download is free in Simple Mode. Pro Mode adds a print-ready PDF version, plus saving your timetable as a JSON file to reload and keep editing later.
No — this tool is built for personal scheduling, like planning your own study time, revision, or work-study balance. Automatically scheduling classes, teachers and rooms across a school involves constraint-solving algorithms that are a fundamentally different kind of problem.
