Calendar Event QR — free online generator

Encode an event as a QR — scan it to add the meeting, party, or conference to a phone calendar instantly.

What is this?

Calendar QR codes carry an iCal VEVENT payload (RFC 5545). When scanned, iOS and most Android calendar apps offer to add the event with the title, start/end, location, and description pre-filled. Perfect for conference invites, wedding RSVPs, deadlines on stickers, and event posters.

When to use it

  • Conference / meetup invites on printed signage
  • Wedding / party invitations — "scan to add to calendar"
  • Deadline reminders on stickers (tax day, recurring events)
  • Event poster — RSVP-free guests can save the date instantly

Tip

Times are emitted in floating local time — phones interpret in their own time zone, so your evening event stays at 7pm wherever guests are.
