Frequently Asked Questions
What is an .ics file?
An .ics file is a plain-text calendar file following the iCalendar standard (RFC 5545), a format supported by virtually every calendar application — Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and many others. Opening one prompts your calendar app to add that specific event.
Will this work with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook?
Yes — the .ics format is a widely supported open standard, not tied to any single calendar provider, so the downloaded file opens correctly in all major calendar applications on desktop and mobile.
Does the event include a time zone?
The event is generated using the date and time exactly as you entered them, treated as local time with no time zone conversion applied — the calendar app that opens the file will interpret it in whatever time zone it's currently set to.
Can I add a reminder or recurring schedule to the event?
This tool creates a single, one-time event without a built-in reminder or recurrence rule. Most calendar apps let you add a reminder or make an event repeat after importing it, directly within the app itself.
