Frequently asked questions
What is a calendar event QR code?
It is a QR code containing an iCalendar event. A compatible scanner or calendar app reads the title, dates, location, and description and lets the person add the event.
Does this work with Apple Calendar?
Yes. The generator uses the standard iCalendar format understood by Apple Calendar. Scan and confirm the event details before saving the invite.
Can people add the event to Google Calendar?
Yes. Google Calendar supports iCalendar events. The exact handoff depends on the phone and QR scanner, so test the code on the devices your audience is likely to use.
Can I include a venue and event notes?
Yes. Add a venue name, address, or map link in the location field and include useful instructions or links in the description.
Can I change the event after printing the QR code?
No. This is a static QR code, so its event details cannot change after download. Generate and print a new QR code if the schedule changes.
Is the calendar QR code free and private?
Yes. It is free, requires no signup, and the event payload is generated locally in your browser.
