What is an .ics file?
An .ics file (iCalendar) is the universal standard format for sharing calendar events. Defined in RFC 5545, it is supported by every major calendar application — Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, Thunderbird and more. When you share an .ics file, anyone can add the event to their calendar with a single click or tap, preserving all details including timezone, location and description.
