Share an event with a QR code

Guests scan and save the date, with the correct time wherever they're travelling from.

  • No signup
  • No scan ads or redirects
  • SVG, PNG & vector PDF
  • Runs in your browser

Code type
  • Give the event a title.
  • Choose a start date and time.

Times are stored in UTC so guests see them in their own zone.

Templates change the look only. What you typed stays as it is.

QR code: BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Launch party DTSTART:20270101T010000Z END:VEVENT

We decode the exact artwork you'll download, three ways. It can't predict every camera, printer or light, so scan a printed proof before a big run. How to test

How to make it

  1. Add the details

    Title, start and end, location and a short description.

  2. Set the time zone

    We convert times to UTC inside the code, so a 7pm New York start shows as 7pm New York time on every phone.

  3. Test the import

    Scan on iPhone and Android and check the event lands on the right day and hour.

What's inside the code

Event codes carry an iCalendar VEVENT, the same format calendar apps use to exchange events:

BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:Spring open house
DTSTART:20270410T230000Z
DTEND:20270411T010000Z
LOCATION:14 Elm Street\, Portland
END:VEVENT

All-day events use dates without times, so a festival weekend stays on the right days in every zone.

Event codes that behave

  • Always choose a time zone for events people travel to; times without one shift with the reader's phone.
  • Calendar support varies by scanner app. Most offer “Add to calendar”, but some show the raw text. Print the date as text too.
  • Keep the description short; it goes inside the code.

Questions

Will it work on iPhone?
Recent iPhones recognise calendar events in QR codes. Behaviour varies between iOS versions and third-party scanners, so test before printing invitations.
Can I update the event later?
No. The details are printed into the code. If the event might move, link to an event page you control with a link code instead.
