Create a calendar invite file

An .ics file is a calendar event that opens in any calendar app, and creating one lets you share events reliably. This tool creates downloadable .ics calendar invites with reminders that open in Apple, Google and Outlook calendars.

Why .ics is the universal format

A calendar event shared as an .ics file works across every major calendar app, Apple, Google, Outlook, because .ics is the standard format they all understand. Generating one with the event details and a reminder means a recipient can add it to their calendar with one click, rather than manually creating the event from a description. This is ideal for event invitations, bookings, and reminders, since it removes the friction and the risk of the recipient entering the wrong date or time. The file encodes the event in the standard format so it imports correctly everywhere.

Add to any calendar

It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded and it works without an account, keeping your data on your own machine.
