How to Add a Photo to Google Calendar
Use this when you need an image inside an event, or when you want to turn a flyer or schedule photo into a real event without typing.
Quick answer
Google Calendar lets you attach images to events, but it does not automatically extract date and time from photos. For that, scan the image with Photo2Calendar and export the event.
Step-by-step workflow
1. Attach image to an existing event
Open the event in Google Calendar and use Add attachment. This keeps the photo as a reference but does not create event details automatically.
2. Scan a photo into event fields
Open Photo2Calendar, import the image, and let AI extract title, date, time, and location from the visual content.
3. Export to Google Calendar
Review the parsed event and save. The app exports a standard iCalendar entry that opens in Google Calendar on iPhone.
Frequently asked questions
Can Google Calendar read a flyer image directly?
Not as a full parser. You can attach images, but automatic extraction of date and time from a flyer requires a dedicated scanner workflow.
Will this work with invitations and tickets?
Yes. Clear screenshots or photos of invitations, tickets, and school notes can be converted into editable calendar events.
Does this support recurring reminders?
After extraction, you can edit recurrence and reminders before saving the final event to your calendar.
