Question 1

What is an .ics file?

Accepted Answer

An .ics (iCalendar) file is a universal calendar event format supported by Outlook, Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and most scheduling apps. Opening it adds the event to your calendar.

Question 2

How do I add an event to my calendar?

Accepted Answer

Fill in the event details, click Generate, then click Download .ics. Open the downloaded file and your default calendar app will import it.

Question 3

Can I create recurring events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly recurrence and an optional end date. The tool generates the correct RRULE in the .ics file.

Question 4

Does this work for different time zones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick a UTC offset (or leave it at your local zone). The event time is exported as a fixed UTC offset so it appears correctly in any calendar app.
