How to Scan a Paper Calendar to iPhone
Convert printed school calendars, work rosters, and event flyers into digital events without manually typing each date.
Quick answer
Take a clear photo, scan it with Photo2Calendar, and review detected dates. Then export to Apple Calendar and sync to Google Calendar if your account is connected.
Step-by-step workflow
1. Capture a clear photo
Photograph the full schedule in good light. Keep the paper flat and include headers so AI can map dates correctly.
2. Detect events automatically
Photo2Calendar extracts titles, dates, and times from the image and turns them into structured event fields.
3. Review and save to iPhone calendar
Confirm details, adjust if needed, and save. Your iPhone calendar then syncs with connected Google or iCloud calendars.
