Frequently asked questions
What happens if I don't set an end time?
The event will still be created with the available information, though it's recommended to set both start and end so it appears correctly in the calendar.
Is it compatible with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook?
Yes. It builds a simplified iCalendar (VEVENT) block, the standard format that major calendar apps recognize to import events.
Does it work offline?
The QR code is generated in your browser and the result is a static image, so both creating and scanning it work without depending on a server.
Does the QR code expire?
No. It encodes the event data directly in the image, so it keeps working indefinitely as long as the image exists.
Do I need an account?
No, no sign-up is required to generate or download the QR code.
Is the event data sent to a server?
No. It's generated in your own browser and never sent to any server of ours.
