Google Calendar
Do you want to attach an image to an existing event, or create a new event from an image? Here is how to do both.

- Open Google Calendar.
- Create or edit an event.
- Tap Add Attachment (paperclip icon).
- Upload your image from Drive or Photos.
Manual Process

Scan Photo into Event
Best for creating the event instantly from a flyer, invitation, or schedule without typing.
- Open Photo2Calendar.
- Snap a photo of the document.
- AI extracts the Date & Time.
- Tap "Add to Google Calendar".
Automated & Fast
Why scan instead of attach?
Attaching a photo is great for reference, but it doesn't make the event searchable or set the reminder time for you.
When you scan the photo with AI, the actual data (Title, Date, Location) is converted into digital text. This means:
- The event appears on the correct day automatically.
- You get reminders before the event starts.
- You can search for the event title later.
- The original photo is still attached for reference!
