About Calendar RSS
Generate RSS feeds and iCalendar (ICS) files for your events. RSS feeds allow users to subscribe to your calendar updates, while ICS files can be imported into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar applications.
How the Calendar RSS Generator Works
Enter your calendar name, description, and website URL. This information appears in the RSS feed metadata and helps subscribers identify your calendar.
Add events by providing a title, date, time, duration, and optional description. Choose recurrence patterns: none, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
Events appear in a sortable list. Remove individual events or clear all to start fresh. The list shows all event details at a glance.
Generate RSS XML for web syndication or ICS for calendar applications. Copy to clipboard or download as files for distribution.
RSS feeds allow users to subscribe to your calendar updates. ICS files can be imported into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and other applications.

What to Know Before Using
RSS feeds require hosting.After generating the RSS XML, upload it to your website. The URL becomes your feed address. Update the file when events change.
ICS files are for one-time import.ICS imports create static events. Changes require re-importing. For ongoing updates, use RSS feeds or calendar subscription URLs.
Recurrence patterns are basic.Supports daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly recurrence. Complex patterns (like "first Monday of month") require manual event creation.
Event URLs are optional but recommended.Include links to event registration, details, or video calls. Subscribers can click through for more information or to take action.
Pro tip: For frequently updated calendars, host the RSS file and announce the feed URL. Subscribers' calendar apps will periodically check for updates automatically.
Common Questions
What's the difference between RSS and ICS?
RSS is for ongoing subscription with updates. ICS is for one-time import. RSS feeds are XML files; ICS files use iCalendar format. Use RSS for dynamic calendars.
How do people subscribe to my RSS calendar?
Share the RSS feed URL. Users add it to their calendar app. In Google Calendar, use "From URL" option. Apple Calendar supports subscription calendars.
Can I update events after generating?
Regenerate the RSS or ICS file with updated events. Replace the hosted file. Subscribers will see updates on their next sync (timing depends on their app).
How do I host the RSS feed?
Save the RSS XML as a .xml file. Upload to your website via FTP or hosting panel. The URL (yoursite.com/calendar.xml) becomes your feed address.
What calendar apps support RSS feeds?
Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and Thunderbird support calendar subscriptions. Some call it "From URL" or "Subscribe to Calendar."
Can I include event reminders?
This basic generator doesn't include alarm settings. Users set their own reminders after importing. ICS format supports alarms but requires additional configuration.
Is there a limit to number of events?
No hard limit, but very large feeds (500+ events) may be slow to process. Consider splitting into separate calendars by category or time period.
