Question 1

What does a calendar event QR code do?

Accepted Answer

When scanned, it offers to add the event to the visitor's calendar. The QR encodes a standard .ics (iCalendar) block, recognized natively by Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook on every major platform.

Question 2

How is the event date handled across timezones?

Accepted Answer

You enter the date and time in your local timezone, and QRQuick encodes it as UTC inside the .ics block. The scanner's calendar app converts the UTC time back to its own local timezone — so an event you set for 6pm local in New York shows as 11pm for a scanner in London.

Question 3

Can I include a location and description?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The location field becomes a tappable address in most calendar apps (one-tap to open in Maps). The description is the notes area — good for agenda, dial-in details, or links.

Question 4

Will the QR work without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The entire event is encoded inside the QR code itself — no server lookup. Calendar apps create the event entry locally once the QR is scanned.

Question 5

What's the size limit?

Accepted Answer

QR codes can hold a few thousand characters of text, more than enough for a typical event. If you have a very long description, consider shortening it or hosting details on a webpage and linking to it from the description.

Question 6

Best uses for calendar QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Event invitations and flyers, conference badges, webinar landing pages, restaurant special-event signage, gym class schedules, and product launch posters — any time you want to remove the friction of typing event details into a calendar.
