Turn school, work, and travel schedules into calendar events on iPhone

Best fit for this page
Use this page when you are searching for a photo to calendar app, a picture to calendar app, or an iPhone workflow that turns a flyer or schedule photo into a real event. This is not for designing printed photo calendars. If you only need to attach an image to an existing event, open the Google Calendar guide below instead.

Attach the image or turn it into a calendar event?
Google Calendar attachments are useful for reference images. Photo2Calendar is for extracting dates, times, titles, and locations from the image.

Photo2Calendar is made for the kinds of images that usually end in copy-paste: school flyers, shift plans, printed itineraries, and screenshots full of event details.
Schedules live in too many places
School flyers, chat screenshots, and printed itineraries all require manual copy-paste. Coordinators lose hours every week keeping calendars aligned.
Manual entry causes avoidable mistakes
Typos and missed dates mean rework. A reviewable event draft keeps the source visible while you check each field.
Traditional scanners ignore calendar fields
PDF exports lock data in images. Photo2Calendar maps every detail to the correct ICS field and attaches the original image for context.

Open guideHow Photo2Calendar Works
Three steps convert an image into a calendar event. Capture anything from a paper calendar to a digital screenshot, then review the extracted details before export. Images are sent to the conversion backend for processing. See the Privacy Notice for the data details.
Step 1: Upload Image
Open the Photo2Calendar camera or upload a saved screenshot. Edge detection keeps the focus on the flyer or planner, whether you are capturing a classroom whiteboard or a printed schedule posted at the office.
Step 2: Review the details
Photo2Calendar pulls out titles, dates, times, locations, and notes. You can adjust anything before you save the event.
Step 3: Import Events
Review the suggested event card, make any needed edits, and export a standard iCalendar (.ICS) file. Use your calendar app to import the file. Learn more about the standard iCalendar (.ICS) file.
