How to do it, step by step
- Type the title and choose the start (and the end).
- Fill in the place, description and sign-up link, if there is one.
- Customize the code and test saving the event on your phone.
- Download and use it on the invitation.
When this is useful
Printed invitations
Whoever receives it adds the date to the calendar without typing.
Courses, workshops and talks
Include the sign-up link in the event itself.
Tips for a good result
- Write short descriptions: each line increases the code’s density.
- Test on iPhone and Android: not every reader creates the event the same way.
What this tool does not do
- The time is saved without a time zone: it counts as local time on the phone of whoever scans.
- Some QR Code readers only show the event text, without opening the calendar.
- It is static: if the date changes, you need to generate another code.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the event go into the calendar on its own?
- No. The phone shows the data, and the person confirms when saving.
- Can I create a recurring event?
- No. The code creates a single event.
