The app creates an event draft. Check the title, date, time, and location before you save or export it.
Common problems it solves
Photo2Calendar is made for the kinds of images that usually end in copy-paste: school flyers, work rosters, printed itineraries, and screenshots full of event details.
Schedules live in too many places
School flyers, chat screenshots, and printed itineraries all end in retyping dates by hand.
Manual entry causes avoidable mistakes
Typos and missed dates mean rework. A reviewable event draft keeps the source visible while you check each field.
Text scanners do not create events
A text scanner gives you plain text. Photo2Calendar puts the title, date, time, and location into calendar fields you can check.

What the app does
It reads the image, shows each event for review, and saves or exports it.
Photo-to-event draft
Use a photo or screenshot instead of typing out the event by hand.
Several events from one image
A timetable, roster, or season schedule can hold many dates. Photo2Calendar lists each event it finds so you can check and edit them before saving.
Printed text and handwriting
The app reads printed text and clear handwriting, so whiteboards, sticky notes, and planners can become events too.
Handwriting recognitionScreenshots from email and chat
Got a schedule in an email or chat? Take a screenshot and turn it into events instead of retyping them.
Screenshot to calendarApple Calendar, Google Calendar or .ics
Save events directly to Apple Calendar on your iPhone or iPad, or open each one in Google Calendar and save it there. For Outlook or another calendar app, share a standard .ics file.
PDFs up to 10 MB
Tap Select PDF or share a PDF from Mail, Files, or Safari. The app reads every page. For a larger file, take a screenshot of the page with the events.
Data processing
Images and PDFs are sent over HTTPS to the conversion backend for the requested workflow. Short-lived caches or technical logs at infrastructure providers may occur. See the Privacy Notice for details.
