Encode the event itself
Add the event name, local start and end time, venue or location, and a short description. Qraftt turns those fields into an iCalendar VEVENT. It does not send the details to a hosted event page or calendar service.

Three simple steps
How to create a QR code for an event
- 1
Enter the event details
Add the event name, local start and end time, venue or location, and any short notes guests need.
- 2
Scan the live preview
Check that a compatible phone shows the correct calendar title, time, duration, location, and description.
- 3
Customize and download
Keep the design readable, export PNG or SVG, and test the downloaded file at its intended print size.
From scan to response
Share event details without a registration system
Qraftt creates one standards-based calendar event directly inside the QR payload. It is useful when guests need the essential date, time, venue, and notes. It does not register attendees or validate tickets.
Let guests review before saving
A compatible phone camera or scanner can read the calendar data and offer an event preview. The guest checks the title, time, venue, and destination calendar before confirming the save. Some scanners may show the raw details instead.
Use a separate tool for registration
The encoded event does not collect names, RSVPs, ticket payments, attendance, or check-ins. Use a public form or registration page when you need responses. The RSVP or Google Forms generator can point guests to that separate online workflow.
Test the real printed result
Download PNG for common documents or SVG for scalable print. Scan the export on representative iPhone and Android devices. Test the final size on an invitation, poster, ticket, badge, or sign before producing a full batch.
Before you publish
Plan an event code people can use
A useful event code starts with accurate details and ends with a real-device test. Keep the payload concise, choose the right printed placement, and use a separate web destination when the experience requires registration or live updates.
Write a recognizable event name
Use a short title guests will understand in their calendars. Include the session, host, or occasion when needed. Avoid vague labels that become confusing beside other saved events.
Check date, time, and duration
Enter valid local start and end values, with the end after the start. Review the year, overnight timing, and daylight-saving period. Test on devices set to the audience's expected time zone.
Make the venue easy to recognize
Add the venue name, room, street address, entrance, or meeting point that guests need. The location is saved as text; this event payload does not provide live GPS tracking or guarantee turn-by-turn directions.
Keep notes practical
Use the description for concise arrival instructions, organizer details, access notes, or what to bring. Long blocks make the payload denser and may display differently across calendar apps.
Match the format to the event
Conferences can share sessions from badges and programs. Meetups and workshops can use posters or flyers. Weddings and parties can place it on invitations. Seminars and business events can add it to tickets or printed schedules.
Keep registration separate
Use this page to share calendar details. For event registration, ticketing, RSVP collection, or changing information, link to a suitable public page or form instead of implying that the encoded VEVENT manages those tasks.
Connect the wider event journey
Use the RSVP QR code generator, Google Forms QR code generator, Location QR code generator, or the Calendar QR code generator for broader calendar-focused guidance.

Helpful answers
Event QR code FAQ
Clear answers to the questions people usually ask before creating and sharing this type of QR code.
How does an event QR code work?
It stores an iCalendar event containing the details you enter. A compatible scanner can read those details and offer to open or add the event in a calendar app.
Can the QR code add an event to a calendar?
Yes, on compatible scanners and calendar apps. Scanning normally opens a preview or import prompt, and the guest must confirm the save. Qraftt does not add events automatically.
What event information can I include?
You can include an event name, local start time, local end time, optional venue or location, and an optional description. Recurrence, reminders, all-day settings, attendee lists, and ticket data are not supported.
How do I use an event QR code on invitations or tickets?
Place the tested export on a clear, flat area with a short instruction such as Add this event. Keep enough white space around it and avoid folds, glossy glare, perforations, or edges that may damage the pattern.
Can this collect event registrations or RSVPs?
No. The code contains calendar details only. Use a public registration form, RSVP page, or ticketing service when you need guest responses, payments, confirmations, or attendance records.
Does scanning save the event automatically?
No. The guest normally reviews the imported details and chooses whether to save them. The exact flow depends on the phone, scanner, operating system, and calendar app.
Can I change the event after printing?
No. A static code keeps its original event data. If the date, time, venue, or description changes, generate a new version and replace the printed material.
Why does the event show the wrong time?
Check the entered start and end values, the device clock, time-zone settings, and daylight-saving differences. Qraftt encodes local times without a named time zone, so testing with the intended audience is important.
