One scan, and your event is
on their calendar

This page makes a calendar invite QR code: one scan adds the date, time, and venue to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. It is not a door check-in code. Generate it free, no signup, in the calendar event QR code generator. For a check in check out QR code at the venue, use the event check-in guide.

Create Event QR Code
Built for real events

Adds to any calendar app

Uses the universal iCalendar format (.ics) that every calendar app understands. iPhone, Android, desktop -- it just works.

Include location and description

Add a venue address, a Google Maps link, or a detailed description. Everything your guests need arrives with the calendar invite. You can also create a location QR code to help attendees navigate to the venue.

Supports all-day events

Conferences, birthdays, deadlines -- not everything has a specific start time. Toggle all-day mode and the event spans the full date.

How it works

Enter your event details

Fill in the event name, date, start and end time, location, and an optional description. The editor shows you a live preview as you type.

Customize the design

Pick colors that match your event branding, add a logo to the center of the QR code, or choose from pre-made templates. Make it yours.

Share on invitations

Download as PNG or SVG and place it on printed invitations, event posters, email signatures, or ticket designs. Guests scan once and they are set. Need a WiFi QR code for the venue too? Generate one so attendees can connect to the event network instantly.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a QR code for event check-in?

No. This tool encodes one shared calendar event so guests can save the date. A check in check out QR code is unique per attendee and is scanned at the door. Follow the QR code event check-in guide for that setup, and generate the codes in the bulk generator or editor.

Which calendar apps does it work with?

The QR code generates an iCalendar (.ics) event, which is supported by Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and virtually every other calendar app on every platform.

Can I include a location or map link?

Yes. The event form has a dedicated location field. You can enter a street address, a venue name, or a full Google Maps URL. The calendar app will display it as the event location.

Does it support all-day events?

Absolutely. Toggle the all-day option in the editor and the event will span the entire date without a specific start or end time. Great for conferences, holidays, or deadlines.

Can I create recurring events?

The QR code creates a single event instance. For recurring events, we recommend creating the first occurrence and noting the recurrence in the description, or sharing a calendar subscription link via a URL QR code instead. For large events that need unique codes per attendee, our bulk QR code generator can produce hundreds of codes from a spreadsheet.

Make sure nobody forgets your next event
