Question 1

How do I convert a CSV to ICS?

Accepted Answer

Paste your CSV or upload a .csv file above. The converter auto-detects which column is the title, start date, time, and so on, and auto-detects US vs EU dates. Confirm the mapping, fix any flagged rows right in the preview, then click Download .ics. You can also add any row straight to Google or Outlook. The file works in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook.

Question 2

What CSV format does the converter expect?

Accepted Answer

Any CSV with a header row works. The Google Calendar import format (Subject, Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, All Day Event, Description, Location) is detected automatically, but you can map any column names yourself. Each row becomes one calendar event.

Question 3

How are dates and times handled?

Accepted Answer

Pick US (MM/DD/YYYY) or EU (DD/MM/YYYY) so dates like 02/03 are read correctly. Times are interpreted in the time zone you choose, so the converted .ics shows the event at the right moment in every calendar app. Rows with no time become all-day events.

Question 4

Is this CSV to ICS converter free and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser. Your CSV is never uploaded to a server. For messy or free-form data that does not fit neat columns, try the AI scheduler instead.

Question 5

What is an ICS file?

Accepted Answer

An ICS file (iCalendar) is the universal calendar format. Any calendar app can import one to add the events it describes. This tool turns each CSV row into a VEVENT inside a single .ics file you can import in one step.
