How do I convert an image to a calendar file?

Simply upload your image (screenshot, photo, or scanned document) containing calendar information to Photocalia. The tool uses GPT-4 Vision AI to automatically extract event details including dates, times, locations, and descriptions, then generates an ICS calendar file you can import into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

What file formats are supported for calendar conversion?

Photocalia supports common image formats (JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC) and PDF documents. You can upload appointment screenshots, event flyers, meeting invitations, school schedules, concert tickets, or any document containing calendar information.

Is the calendar converter free to use?

Yes, Photocalia offers 3 free conversions per month (Google sign-in required). For users who need more conversions, contact us to upgrade your plan.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Yes, Photocalia supports batch processing. You can upload multiple images or PDFs simultaneously, and the AI converter will process them all with real-time progress tracking. All extracted events are combined into a single downloadable ICS calendar file.

Which calendar apps work with the exported ICS files?

The ICS files generated by Photocalia are compatible with all major calendar applications including Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar (iCal), Yahoo Calendar, and any application that supports the standard ICS (iCalendar) format.

Can I edit the events before downloading?

Yes, after the AI extracts events from your images, you can review and edit all event details including title, date, time, location, and description before generating the final ICS calendar file. You stay in full control.

Is my data secure when using Photocalia?

Yes, your privacy is protected. Files are processed securely and are not stored permanently on our servers. The AI conversion happens in real-time, and your data is handled with strict security protocols.

What types of events can the AI recognize?

The AI can recognize and extract various event types including doctor appointments, meetings, conferences, webinars, classes, concerts, sports games, school activities, subscription renewals, delivery windows, and any scheduled activity with date and time information.

Do I need to create an account to use Photocalia?

You simply sign in with your existing Google account — no separate registration needed. Your Google account gives you 3 free conversions per month immediately, with no forms to fill out.

Can I use Photocalia on my phone?

Yes, Photocalia works on all devices including smartphones and tablets. It is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that you can install directly to your home screen for quick access, and it works on iOS and Android browsers.

How accurate is the AI calendar extraction?

Photocalia uses GPT-4 Vision, one of the most advanced AI models available, for highly accurate event extraction. It reliably reads dates, times, locations, and event titles from clear images. You can always review and correct any detail before saving.

Our Mission

Photocalia was born from a simple frustration: you receive a flyer, a screenshot of a meeting invite, or a photo of a school schedule — and then you have to manually type every date, time, and location into your calendar. It's tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming.

We built Photocalia to eliminate that friction. Using advanced AI (GPT-4 Vision), our tool reads your images and PDFs, extracts all event details automatically, and generates a standard ICS calendar file you can import into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar in seconds.
