Add to calendar link generator
Fill in your event once and get add to calendar links for Google Calendar, Outlook.com, Office 365 and Yahoo, plus an .ics file for Apple Calendar and everything else.
Free, no sign-up. Runs in your browser. Nothing you type or upload is sent to us or stored.
Give your event a page
Make an event page on Liite with your calendar links as buttons, a map to the venue and a sign-up form, all at one address you can share or print as a QR code.
How to use it
- Type the event title, then pick the start and end, or mark it as all-day.
- Check the time zone. It starts as yours, and you can pick any other.
- Add a location and a description if you like.
- Copy the link for each calendar, or download the .ics file.
One event, several calendars
There's no single add to calendar link that works everywhere. Google Calendar, Outlook.com, Office 365 and Yahoo each take a web link in their own format, with the title, times, place and details packed into the address. Someone who clicks it lands on their calendar with the event filled in, and saves it with one more click.
Apple Calendar and most desktop apps don't take links like that. They open an .ics file instead, the standard calendar file format, which also works in Outlook on the desktop and in most other calendar apps. Offer the .ics file next to the links so nobody is left out.
Time zones and daylight saving
Pick the time zone the event happens in, not the one your guests live in. The tool converts your start and end to a fixed moment, taking daylight saving into account for that date, so a call at 3 pm in London shows up at the right local time for someone in New York or Singapore.
All-day events work differently: they have a date but no time, so they stay on the same day wherever people are. Use all-day for things like a deadline or a holiday, and a timed event for anything people need to join at a particular moment.
Where to share the links
Put the links in a newsletter, an invitation email, a confirmation message after someone signs up, or on the event's web page as a row of buttons labelled with each calendar's name. For print, turn the page that holds the links into a QR code rather than encoding one long calendar link.
Keep the description short and useful: what to bring, how to join a video call, who to contact if plans change. Put the address or the video call link in the location field so it shows up where people look for it.
Changing the event later
These links are static. Each one carries the event details inside it, so if the date or place changes you need to make new links and share them again. People who already added the event keep the old details in their calendar, so tell them about the change directly as well.
Everything is built in your browser. The event details you type aren't sent to us or saved.
Questions
Which calendars does this support?
Google Calendar, Outlook.com, Office 365 (Outlook for work or school) and Yahoo get their own links. Apple Calendar and other apps use the .ics file.
Will the time be right for people in other countries?
Yes. The event is saved at a fixed moment in the time zone you pick, including daylight saving, and each calendar shows it in the guest's own local time.
Can I update the event after people have added it?
Not through these links. They're static, so a change means new links, and people who already added the event keep the old version until they change it themselves.
How do I add an event to an iPhone calendar?
Share the .ics file or link to it. Opening it on an iPhone offers to add the event to Apple Calendar.
Is my event information stored?
No. The links and the .ics file are made in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
