Event QR Code

The payload is a minimal iCalendar object: one VEVENT with a summary, a start, and optional end, location and description.

Everything runs in this browser. Text, files and the finished image are not sent to a server.

Pick a look — colours, modules, frame and caption. Works with any content type; your fields stay as they are.

What does a style template change?

It applies colours, module style, a decorative frame and a short caption. Your field values stay as you left them. The frame and caption are drawn outside the quiet zone, so they are not part of the encoded data.

Which download formats include the frame and caption?

PNG, SVG and PDF. EPS stays a classic unframed monochrome code, because that format is meant for simple print workflows.

Does the caption get encoded in the QR code?

No. A scanner reads only the QR modules. The caption is a label on the card, fitted in at most two lines, including in Arabic (right to left).

Can I still change colours after picking a template?

Yes. A template is a starting style. You can adjust colours and download again. Switching templates or type pages does not clear the fields you already filled in.

Can I use a style with a different content type?

Yes. Styles are only looks. A review-card look works on a website URL, Wi-Fi, vCard or any other type. Changing the content type keeps the style you picked.

Customise Colours, shapes, size, border and centre mark. Optional — a style template already sets these.

The image stays in this browser. It is not uploaded. Adding one switches error correction to H.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Enter a title and a start date and time.

  2. 2

    Add an end, a place or a short description if you want them.

  3. 3

    Create the code and try saving it in your calendar app.

What it does

The payload is a minimal iCalendar object: one VEVENT with a summary, a start, and optional end, location and description.

Times are written as a compact local timestamp. The document is encoded as text. No reminder is scheduled on our side, because we never see the scan.

Why it works this way

Calendar apps differ in how they treat a timezone-less local time. After you save the event, check that the hour is the one you intended.

This is not a ticket and not a registration. It only offers a calendar row. If you need to change the time, print a new code.

Keep the description short if the code will be small on a poster.

Examples

Open studio, 4 Dec 2026 18:00–20:00, 12 Oak Street
a VCALENDAR with one VEVENT for those times
the scan should offer those details as a single event
a title but no start
an error
a calendar entry without a start is not created

Inputs and outputs

  • title
  • start time
  • optional end, location and description
  • a static QR symbol whose payload is an iCalendar document

Edge cases

  • a missing start is an error
  • timezone is not attached; check the saved hour

Frequently asked questions

Will people be added to a guest list?

No. There is no list on our side. The scan only offers a calendar entry.

Can I update the time after printing?

Not on the old print. Generate a new code with the new time.

Do you store what I type on this page?

No. For a static code, encoding happens in your browser. We do not upload or keep the payload.

Will the printed code still work if this site is offline?

Yes for a static code: the content is in the image. A Dynamic URL code is different — a scan needs this site to redirect, and we do not guarantee that it will stay online.

Do style templates change what a scanner reads?

No. The decorative frame and caption sit outside the quiet zone. Only the QR modules are encoded. Framed styles download as PNG, SVG or PDF; EPS stays an unframed monochrome code.
