How to make a calendar event QR code
- Enter the event title, start and end time, location and a short description.
- The QR code updates as you type. Check the encoded text under the code to confirm the details.
- Download it as PNG for screens and documents or SVG for print at any size, and test it with your phone camera before sharing.
Add-to-calendar QR codes
The code contains the event in the standard iCalendar (VEVENT) format. When scanned, most Android phones offer to add it to the calendar directly; on iPhone the camera shows the event details, and calendar apps that can read QR codes import it. It saves guests from typing dates and times, which is how people end up at the wrong place on the wrong day. Use it on invitations, posters, tickets, school letters, appointment cards and conference badges.
Times are saved in the scanner's local time zone, which is perfect for local events. For online meetings across time zones, include the time zone in the description too. Keep descriptions short, because long text makes the code dense and harder to scan from paper.
The code is generated entirely in your browser by a built-in encoder, so the details you type are never uploaded, logged or tracked, and the QR code does not expire or redirect through a third-party service. Static codes like these work forever, but the content cannot be edited after printing, so double-check before you print a batch.
