How to use it

  1. Enter the title, start and end, and the time zone the times are in. Tick All-day event for a whole day, or several days.
  2. Add a location or video link and a description if guests need them.
  3. Copy the link for each calendar, or download the .ics file. The links and file update as you type.
  4. For a website or newsletter, copy the HTML. It gives readers a link for each calendar, plus the .ics file.

Links or a .ics file?

An add-to-calendar link opens the person's calendar in their browser with the event filled in, ready to save. A .ics file is a standard calendar file that almost every calendar app can open, including Apple Calendar. Offering both covers nearly everyone.

Timed events are saved in UTC inside the links and the file, so each guest sees the event at the right local time wherever they are.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create an add-to-calendar link for Google Calendar?

Fill in the event above and copy the Google Calendar link. Anyone who opens it sees the event ready to save in their Google Calendar.

How do I create a .ics file?

Fill in the event and press Download .ics file. The file follows the iCalendar standard (RFC 5545), which almost every calendar app can open.

Will the time be right for guests in other time zones?

Is anything I type sent to a server?

Can I add a recurring event?

Not with this tool. It makes one-off events, including all-day and multi-day ones.

Keep the events you add from double-booking you

If those events land on one calendar and your meetings on another, double bookings follow. Meetingpad connects every Google and Microsoft calendar you have for free, and its booking links only offer times you're free on all of them.
