An event QR code encodes a calendar event in vEvent format — title, location, start time, end time, and description. Scanning it offers to add the event to the user's default calendar app (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook). Perfect for invitations, conferences, classes, and recurring meetups.

Make an event QRFrequently asked questions
Which calendar apps support event QRs?
Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook and most major calendar apps recognize the vEvent format.
Can I include reminders?
The basic vEvent format we use doesn't include alarm/reminder fields. Most calendar apps apply the user's default reminders automatically.
Do timezones work correctly?
The QR encodes the time in the user's local timezone. For multi-timezone events, prefer a URL QR that links to a hosted page with timezone-aware logic.
