How Text2ICS Works

Four simple steps to turn any text into calendar events you can import anywhere. No sign-up needed.

01

Paste your text

Copy any event information — meeting invites, email threads, class schedules, conference agendas, or even a screenshot description — and paste it into the text box.

  • Supports plain text, meeting notes, email forwards
  • Works with any language or date format
  • No formatting required — just paste raw text
02

We extract the events

Text2ICS intelligently parses your text to identify event titles, dates, times, locations, and descriptions. Multiple events in one paste? No problem.

  • Detects multiple events from a single block of text
  • Recognises relative dates ("next Tuesday") and ranges
  • Extracts locations, descriptions, and attendees
03

Review & edit

Preview every extracted event before downloading. Remove events you don't need, or verify that dates and times are correct.

  • Visual event cards with all details at a glance
  • Remove individual events with one click
  • Verify times, dates, and locations
04

Download your .ics file

Click "Download .ics" and import the file into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app that supports the iCalendar standard.

  • Universal .ics format — works everywhere
  • Single file contains all your events
  • Double-click to auto-import on most systems
