Create .ics calendar files

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an iCalendar (.ics) file?

An iCalendar (.ics) file is a universal calendar format (RFC 5545) that works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and most other calendar applications. It contains event details like title, time, location, and description in a plain-text format.

Which calendar apps support .ics files?

Nearly all modern calendar applications support .ics files, including Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar (iCloud), Yahoo Calendar, and Thunderbird. Simply download the .ics file and import it.

Can I add multiple events to one .ics file?

Yes! The iCalendar format supports multiple VEVENT blocks within one file. To create multi-event calendars, include multiple BEGIN:VEVENT...END:VEVENT blocks between the VCALENDAR tags.

What timezone is used for events?

Events are generated in UTC format (YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ) by default. Most calendar applications will automatically convert UTC times to the user's local timezone when importing.

How do I share an iCal file with others?

After generating your .ics file, attach it to an email, upload it to a website, or send it via messaging apps. Recipients can simply click the .ics file to add the event to their calendar.

Can I create recurring events?

This basic iCal generator creates single events. For recurring events (daily, weekly, monthly), you'll need to add RRULE parameters to the generated .ics file manually, or use a more advanced calendar tool that supports recurrence rules.
