Event QR Code Generator — add to calendar in one scan

Scanning adds your event with title, time and location to the calendar — generated locally, nothing uploaded.

Runs locally — nothing is uploaded

Content type

Everything you enter stays on your device – nothing is uploaded or stored.

Higher levels stay readable when damaged or printed small — the code gets denser.

Dark modules on a light background scan most reliably.

Logo & branding

Logo and text sit centred on a clean knockout panel. Always test-scan before printing.

Enter text or a URL — your QR code appears instantly.

An event QR code carries title, start, end and location as a calendar entry. Scanning offers “Add to calendar” — one tap and the date is saved, with no typing and no forgotten time zone math. Ideal for invitations, posters, tickets and open-house days. Fill in the fields below.

How does an event QR code work?

The code contains an iCalendar entry (VEVENT, RFC 5545) — the open standard behind .ics attachments in every calendar invitation. Phones recognise it on scan and offer to create the event with all details pre-filled. The data lives in the code itself, so it works offline and forever.

Times are local on purpose

The event is stored as “floating” local time: 7 p.m. means 7 p.m. on the scanner's calendar. For a venue-bound event — concert, opening, meetup — that is exactly right. For international online events across time zones, state the zone explicitly in the title or description.

How to create the code

  1. Enter the event title and the start time — end, location and description are optional.
  2. Check the preview and style the code to match the invitation or poster.
  3. Download (SVG/EPS/PDF for print) and place the code on the invitation — test-scan once before printing.

Frequently asked questions

Which calendars understand the code?

All major ones: Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook and most others — the iCalendar format (RFC 5545) is the universal exchange standard for events.

Is the event added automatically?

No. The phone shows the event details and the person confirms adding it — nothing lands in a calendar without their consent.

Are my event details uploaded?

No. The calendar entry is encoded entirely in your browser. Only people who scan the code see the details.

How are time zones handled?

Times are stored as local (“floating”) time — ideal for on-site events. For cross-time-zone online events, mention the zone in the title, e.g. “Webinar (18:00 CET)”.
