How Photo2Calendar Works
Photo2Calendar uses AI optical character recognition (OCR) to turn any image into a structured calendar event in seconds. The workflow is tuned for everyday scenarios like snapping school flyers, screenshotting group chats, or capturing business meeting boards.
What this workflow unlocks
Map these benefits into your marketing funnels, onboarding docs, or sales demos to showcase how Photo2Calendar solves everyday scheduling headaches.
Faster onboarding
Show new teammates or family members how easy it is to contribute schedules. The three-step flow takes under a minute to explain.
SEO-friendly storytelling
Use the steps in landing pages and blog posts to rank for “how to convert calendar photos” and similar search intent phrases.
Higher conversion rates
Highlight the workflow in App Store screenshots and marketing emails. When visitors see the process, they convert faster.
Three-Step Conversion Flow
Each step is optimized for speed and accuracy. From the first camera snap to the final calendar export, the entire process takes less time than typing a single event manually.
Step 1: Capture or Upload
Open the built-in camera to snap a flyer, planner, or handwritten note, or upload a saved screenshot. Edge detection and exposure presets help align the image even in low light so the AI can read every detail.
Step 2: AI Text Recognition
Photo2Calendar sends the image through Google Gemini–powered OCR. Titles, dates, times, locations, URLs, and notes are parsed into structured fields. Clear handwriting is handled too, so coaches’ or teachers’ whiteboard notes convert cleanly.
Step 3: Review & Export
You receive an event card to approve. Make quick edits, then export a standard .ICS file that drops into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any other calendar that supports the iCalendar standard.
Reliable AI Recognition
The app blends OCR with semantic parsing. Dates, times, and locations map to the correct calendar fields, while free-form notes become descriptions. If you need to adjust something, natural-language edits like “move to Friday at 3 pm” work instantly.
Apple’s latest iOS releases add a "Add to Calendar" suggestion for screenshots, butApple Visual Intelligence still requires manual verification for multi-event schedules. Photo2Calendar goes further by capturing every detail you need—location, notes, attachments—and bundling them into a universal iCalendar (.ICS) file.
Secure Handling
Photos are encrypted in transit, processed on secure servers, and deleted after conversion. No data is stored long term, and nothing is shared with advertising networks.
