Event QR Code Generator
Let people add your event to their calendar with a single scan - title, time, location and notes included. Times are stored in UTC so they never drift.
How to Create an Event (Calendar) QR Code
An event QR code encodes an iCalendar VEVENT, the same standard calendars use for
.ics invites. Scanning it prompts the user to add the event - with its title, start and
end time, location and description - directly to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook.
Step by step
- Enter the event title (required).
- Add the start and end in
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMformat - they are converted to UTC automatically. - Optionally add a location and description, then download the code for your flyer, ticket or invite.
Great for
Conferences & Webinars
Posters and slides that let attendees save the session in one scan.
Parties & Weddings
Invitations that drop the date, time and venue straight into guests' calendars.
Deadlines & Sales
Remind customers of a launch, class or limited-time offer they shouldn't miss.
Why UTC matters & tips
- Times are encoded in UTC (the trailing
Z), so an event set for 9:00 shows at the right local time for every scanner, wherever they are. - Each code includes the required
UIDandDTSTAMPfields so calendars accept it cleanly. - Double-check the start is before the end, and include the year to avoid ambiguity.
Event QR Code FAQ
What is an event QR code?
It encodes an iCalendar VEVENT. Scanning lets the user add the event - title, time, location and notes - to their calendar app.
Will the time be right in other time zones?
Yes. Start and end times are converted to UTC before encoding, so each calendar shows the correct local moment.
What date/time format do I use?
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM, e.g. 2026-03-01T09:00. It is read in your local zone and converted to UTC automatically.
Which calendar apps are supported?
Any app that reads the iCalendar standard - Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook all work.
