Add-to-calendar links
Fill in your event once and seal it: you get Google, Outlook.com and Office 365 links, an .ics file for Apple Calendar and an HTML snippet.
The card fills in as you type. Seal it and I'll print your links on the reply card.
Your links
- Google Calendar (opens in a new tab)

- Apple Calendar and others
See the .ics file
The last link carries the whole .ics inside it. If your site builder strips it, upload the .ics file and point that link at the upload.
Questions people ask
Which link should my guests use?
Google Calendar for anyone on Gmail or an Android phone, Outlook.com for personal Microsoft accounts, Office 365 for work or school Microsoft accounts, and the .ics file for Apple Calendar and most other apps. Offering all four covers nearly everyone.
Will the time be right for guests in another time zone?
Yes. You pick the time zone the event happens in, and the links and the .ics store the start and end as UTC worked out from that zone, daylight saving included. Each calendar then shows the time in the guest's own zone.
Does this tool send my event anywhere?
No. Everything is built in your browser and nothing is uploaded. The Google and Outlook links only open those sites when someone clicks them.
Can I use these links in a digital invitation?
Yes. Paste a link onto a button or a line of text in your design. The .ics file has to be uploaded somewhere first, because a design can link to a web address but cannot hold the file itself.
How do all-day events work?
Tick all-day and the event uses dates only, with no time zone. Calendar files mark the end as the day after the last day, so a one-day event on 5 September ends on 6 September in the file and still shows as one day.
