How it works
The code stores a standard calendar entry (vEvent) — the same format email attachments use to add events. When someone scans it, their calendar app opens with everything filled in; one tap saves it. The time is local and floating, so it shows correctly wherever the scanner lives.
- Enter the event title, where it happens, and the date and time.
- Optional: add a short details line, your logo, and brand colors.
- Download a PNG for screens or an SVG for your print shop.
Where businesses put theirs
- Event posters and flyers: the poster sells the evening; the code makes sure people show up.
- Workshops and classes: “Scan to save the date” turns interest into a calendar entry on the spot.
- Store events: tastings, trunk shows, open houses — saved before the customer reaches the door.
- Invitations: wedding parties and community groups put one on the card instead of printing the details twice.
Good to know
- Codes with more data need more size. An event carries more than a short link, so its modules are smaller — print at the comfortable size, not the minimum.
- The poster tells the story; the code carries the date. Keep the surrounding design readable — the code only needs to hold the calendar entry.
- Static and permanent. The event details are encoded in the code itself — print it once, no account, no subscription, no expiry.
Common questions
What does an event QR code do when scanned?
It opens the phone's calendar with the event's title, date, time and location ready to save. One tap and it's in their calendar — no app to install, no typing, no 'add it when I get home' that never happens.
Is this event QR code generator free?
Yes. No signup, no account, no watermark. The code is generated in your browser, and the PNG and SVG downloads are yours to use anywhere.
What details can the code carry?
A title, a date with start and end times, a location and a short description. That's what calendar apps read reliably — a poster carries the visual story, the code carries the calendar entry.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The code stores a standard calendar format (vEvent) that both platforms recognize — Apple Calendar and Google Calendar both open it with the details filled in.
Can I add my logo to the code?
Yes. Upload your logo and it appears in the center of the code; error correction is raised to its highest level (30%) to keep it scannable. Note that event codes carry more data than link codes, so print them a size up — our size calculator shows why.
