Calendar Capture
Photo, PDF, camera
Turn screenshots and PDFs into calendar events
Snap a timetable, import a PDF, or paste text. Calendar Capture
pulls out every event and saves them to Apple Calendar, Google
Calendar, or a clean .ics file — in seconds.

Capture, review, save
The app keeps the import flow short and focused, with a review step before anything lands on your calendar.
Extract the events
The app reads the title, date, time, location, and notes for each event it finds in your content.
Review and save
Check and edit the parsed events, then add them to Apple
Calendar, Google Calendar, or export an .ics file.
What you can capture
Anything that lists a date and a time — however it reached your phone.
Screenshots from any app
A booking confirmation, a WhatsApp group message about practice times, an Instagram event poster, an email you screenshotted. Calendar Capture reads the image and pulls out the event.
PDF schedules and agendas
Conference programmes, school term calendars, league fixture lists, travel itineraries. Multi-event PDFs come back as a list you can save in one pass.
Photos of printed schedules
A timetable pinned to a noticeboard, a flyer, a whiteboard, a printed handout. Take the photo — or shoot straight from the in-app camera — and let the app do the typing.
Pasted text
Copy the relevant part of an email, a message, or a web page and paste it in. Useful when the details are scattered across a long block of prose.
Where your events go
Save to the calendar you already use, or take an
.ics file anywhere else.
- Apple Calendar Written through EventKit on iPhone and iPad, straight into the calendar you pick — including iCloud calendars shared with family.
- Google Calendar Added through the Google Calendar API on both Android and iOS, so events sync to every device signed into your account.
- .ics export A standard calendar file that imports into Outlook, Thunderbird, Proton Calendar, or anything else that speaks iCalendar.
Who it's for
Built for the moments when a schedule arrives as a picture instead of an invite.
Students
Photograph the class timetable on the first day of term and get every lecture, lab, and seminar into your calendar before the first session starts.
Parents
School newsletters, sports fixture lists, and term-date PDFs turn into events you can drop onto a shared family calendar in one go.
Professionals
Conference agendas and training schedules arrive as slides or PDFs. Capture the sessions you care about instead of retyping them between meetings.
Travellers
Tour itineraries, tickets, and booking confirmations become a day-by-day calendar you can check offline once it's saved.
Privacy-first architecture
Calendar Capture does not run its own backend for your content. Data you choose to process is sent directly from the app to Google APIs. The app does not store your submitted content on a custom server, and your events stay in the calendar you chose.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about what the app does and how it works.
What does Calendar Capture do?
Calendar Capture turns screenshots, photos, PDFs, camera
captures, and pasted text into structured calendar events. You
review the parsed events and save them to Apple Calendar,
Google Calendar, or export an .ics file.
How do I turn a screenshot into a calendar event?
Open the app, choose the screenshot from your photo library, and Calendar Capture reads the event details out of the image. Review the extracted title, date, time, and location, then save. There's a step-by-step walkthrough with tips for getting cleaner results.
What inputs are supported?
Photos and screenshots (PNG/JPEG), PDF documents, live camera capture, and pasted plain text.
Can it add several events at once?
Yes. A full timetable, conference agenda, or fixture list comes back as a list of separate events, so you can save a whole term or trip instead of typing each entry by hand.
Which calendars does it work with?
Apple Calendar (via EventKit), Google Calendar (via the Google
Calendar API), and any calendar that imports
.ics files, including Outlook.
Is it available on iPhone and Android?
Yes — Calendar Capture runs on iOS, iPadOS, and Android.
Does Calendar Capture cost anything?
Calendar Capture is free to download on the App Store and Google Play.
How does it handle privacy?
Calendar Capture does not operate a custom backend that stores submitted content. When you choose to parse content, the selected text, image, or PDF is sent directly from the app to Google APIs for processing. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Do I have to review events before they save?
Yes. Every parsed event is shown for review and editing before anything is added to your calendar.
Who should use Calendar Capture?
Students importing class timetables, parents capturing school or sports schedules, professionals turning conference agendas into events, and travellers converting itineraries into calendar entries.
