An iCalendar QR code is a QR code that stores a calendar event, including the title, start time, end time, location and description, inside a vEvent block. When scanned with a phone camera, the calendar app opens with the event already filled in for quick saving to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird. The vEvent format follows the open IETF RFC 5545 standard, so it works across major calendar apps worldwide. No app download, no manual entry, and no broken links after printing.
You can add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated designs so the code fits your wedding invite, conference programme, class syllabus, webinar page, worship bulletin, sports poster, concert flyer, trade show sign, appointment card or training email. Print it on save-the-dates, event programmes, semester outlines, webinar pages, service sheets, season schedules, tour flyers, booth signs, appointment cards or welcome packs. iCalendar QR codes store the vEvent text directly in the pattern, so the event details stay fixed after printing and can still be accessed offline with any phone camera.
Enter the event title, start time, end time, location and description, style the code with your logo and AI-generated designs, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for invites, conference programmes, syllabi or worship bulletins.
Add the event title, start and end times with a clear time zone, location and description. For example, use DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York. If you need a programme with multiple items, include several VEVENT blocks in one ICS payload. Use RRULE for recurring meetings or weekly classes.
Add your logo, brand colours and pixel patterns. Choose from 1200+ templates or generate QR Art to match your wedding invite, conference programme, class syllabus or worship bulletin style.
Export in PNG for digital use, SVG for print or PDF for layered design files. Print on save-the-dates, conference programmes, semester syllabi, webinar pages, worship bulletins or training packs. Test with Apple Calendar and Google Calendar before full production.
Encode any RFC 5545 vEvent payload into a single-scan calendar entry, add your logo and AI-generated designs, and share print-ready files for save-the-dates, conference programmes, syllabi or worship bulletins.
Static iCalendar QR codes do not include Analytics by design. Every website URL, Instagram or Landing Pages QR code in your library can still track scans, devices and locations in real time.

Use a hosted ICS landing page with a custom short link and UTM parameters for cleaner campaign tracking. Test placements across save-the-dates, conference programmes or webinar pages, then retire the link safely after the campaign ends.

Add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated designs to every event code. Choose from 1200+ templates for wedding planners, conference organisers, educators, webinar hosts, worship teams or sports clubs.
Customise your event QR
An iCalendar QR code saves the event date into the attendee’s calendar, while a Google Forms QR code collects registration details before the event. Use both on webinar pages or email confirmations for a register-and-save flow.
Open the registration form
An iCalendar QR code saves the event date into the calendar, while an email QR code opens a pre-filled compose window for follow-up questions. Use both on event invites or RSVP cards.
Capture email sign-ups
An iCalendar QR code saves the event date into the calendar, while a PDF QR code opens the conference programme, syllabus or venue map for full details. Use both on save-the-dates and conference badges.
Open the programme PDF
An iCalendar QR code saves the event in the attendee’s calendar, while a vCard QR code saves the organiser’s contact details into the address book. Use both on save-the-dates or conference badges for a save-and-connect flow.
Save contact details
An iCalendar QR code stores a shareable RFC 5545 vEvent payload offline, while a URL QR code sends users to any online destination, including a hosted ICS page or webinar lobby. Use both on event landing pages.
Open any webpage
An iCalendar QR code saves the event date into the calendar, while a location QR code opens the venue in Apple Maps or Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions. Use both on wedding invites and conference programmes.

Enter the event title, start and end times with the correct time zone, location and description in QR Code AI. The generated QR code stores a vEvent block based on RFC 5545. You can then add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated designs to match your invite, programme or syllabus. Export it in PNG, SVG or PDF for sharing or print.
Yes. QR codes created to RFC 5545 standards work with major calendar apps including Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Samsung Calendar, Yahoo Calendar and Thunderbird. After a phone camera scans the code, the device reads the vEvent payload and opens the default calendar app with the event details already filled in for quick saving.
Yes. iCalendar event QR codes are free on QR Code AI. You can generate the code, customise it with your logo, brand colours and AI-designed templates, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. iCalendar QR codes store the event data directly in the code itself, so the details remain available offline after printing on posters, invites or event materials.
Use DTSTART with a clear time zone identifier, such as DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York, following RFC 5545. The calendar app will convert the event to the scanner’s local time where supported. For webinars or events with attendees in different regions, it’s also a good idea to mention the main reference time zone in the description so the saved event is easier to verify.
Choose an iCalendar QR code when you want the event to open directly in a calendar app with the details ready to save, based on the RFC 5545 iCalendar specification. Extra calendar properties are covered in the RFC 7986 iCalendar extensions, while scheduling messages are defined in RFC 5546 iTIP. Choose Google Forms QR for registration intake, or PDF QR when people need the full programme or supporting document.
