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.

Can I convert multiple images at once?
