About the Calendar Event QR Code

People mean to put your event in their calendar and then forget. A calendar event QR code holds the title, time, place and details in the iCalendar format, so scanning it offers to add the event straight to the phone's calendar. This tool builds the VEVENT data from a short form in your browser.

What you can do

• Give the event a title and a start date and time.
• Add an optional end time, location and description.
• Choose the code's colours and error correction.
• Download it as PNG or SVG for invitations and posters.

When it works best

• Wedding invitations and save-the-date cards.
• Posters for talks, workshops, open days and webinars.
• Appointment cards at clinics or salons.

Things to know

• The event data is assembled in your browser; nothing is published or stored.
• Times are saved without a time zone, so they appear as the same clock time on any phone. Guests in another time zone may see the wrong hour.
• Recurring events, reminders and invitee lists are not included.
• Calendar support varies: some scanners show the event text rather than adding it. Add a link to the event page with QR Code Generator as a backup.
