Before you download
Is Photo2Calendar free?
No. Free download with one free test scan during setup. Saving events and further scans require a subscription: $1.99 weekly, $4.99 monthly, or $29.99 yearly. There is no free trial, no free tier, and no ads. Prices are for the US App Store; your local price appears before purchase.
Which images can I use?
Use photos or screenshots of flyers, invitations, schedules, notes, or bookings. The title, date, and time must be readable. You can scan an image with more than one event. Check each result before you save.
Can I correct the event details?
Yes. Review the title, date, time, and location before you save. Scans can contain errors, especially when text is unclear or dates are incomplete.
Does it work with my calendar?
Apple Calendar and Google Calendar work straight from the app. Apple Calendar saves the events in one step. For Google Calendar, Photo2Calendar opens each event in Google Calendar, where you save it. For Outlook and other apps, share a standard .ics file and import it there.
Is this the Photo2Calendar app for Android?
No. This website belongs to the iPhone and iPad app Photo2Calendar: Calendar Scan (App Store ID 6736373394). There is no Android or web version. Other apps and websites use similar names, including Photo2Calendar+ (photo2calendar.it) and Android apps on Google Play. They come from other developers and are not connected to this app or this website. See Photo2Calendar vs Photo2Calendar+.
Is my image processed on my device?
No. The selected image is sent over HTTPS to our server for processing. Short-lived caches or logs may be used. See the Privacy Notice for details about processing and retention.
Can I scan a PDF?
Not directly. Take a screenshot of the PDF page, then scan the screenshot.
Do I need an app if my iPhone has Visual Intelligence?
Not always. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, iOS 26 can turn a screenshot into a calendar event. Photo2Calendar also works on iPhones without Apple Intelligence (iOS 17 or later). It creates one draft per event from timetables and rosters, reads handwriting, and can export an .ics file. Check every draft before saving.
Can I just use Gemini or ChatGPT?
Yes, for clear single events. Gemini can add an event to Google Calendar when the connection is on. ChatGPT answers in text, so you type the event yourself. Photo2Calendar shows each event as an editable draft and saves to Apple Calendar or exports an .ics file.
Is Photo2Calendar the same as the Calendar Scan app?
Photo2Calendar: Calendar Scan is the App Store name of this iPhone and iPad app (App Store ID 6736373394). Apps with similar names come from other developers.
How do I cancel a subscription?
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Select Photo2Calendar and cancel there. Cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends to avoid the next charge. Your local price and terms appear in the App Store before purchase.
