πŸš€ Sports Calendars, Excel, Email Sign-In and More

A lot has changed in the past two weeks. You can now convert spreadsheets and several screenshots at once, put your team's whole season in your calendar, sign in without a Google account, and buy without an account at all. We also fixed a long list of date problems.

✨ New

  • Sports team calendars – A page for every NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL team. Get the full season (home, away or all games) as a calendar that stays in sync, at one credit per game, or download the next 5 games free to try it. You can combine up to six teams in one calendar.
  • Excel and Google Sheets – The CSV converter now accepts Excel files, with dedicated Excel and Google Sheets pages.
  • Several screenshots at once – Image to Calendar reads up to five images of one schedule together. Paste a screenshot, add more, or take one out.
  • Several PDFs at once – Drop a few PDFs and they're read one after another instead of being refused. Signed-in accounts with credits can upload PDFs up to 20MB.
  • Add everything in one go – Add all of a result's events to Google Calendar or Outlook with one click.
  • A form for the ICS generator – The ICS Generator now has a simple fill-in form.
  • Sign in by email – Sign up or sign in with an emailed link or a one-time code, not only with Google.
  • Buy without an account – Pay through Stripe with no sign-up. The events you paid for generate straight away, and we email you a link to your account for the rest.
  • Clear pricing in US dollars – A pricing page, and the price shown up front: 50 events for $4, 100 for $6, 250 for $12.
  • In your language – Prices and offers appear in your browser's language, and there are new German, French, Italian and Dutch pages.
  • Did we read it right? – Tell us under any result if something came out wrong.

πŸ› οΈ Improvements

  • Long PDFs welcome – PDFs are no longer turned away for their page count.
  • Big images shrink to fit – An image over the upload limit is resized instead of refused.
  • Any language – Events typed in other languages are no longer turned away.
  • Bigger repairs – AI repair in the ICS Viewer now fixes large calendars in parts instead of timing out.
  • Faster pages – Pages no longer download code they don't use, and your results appear as soon as they're ready.
  • Back to your events – After paying, you're brought straight back to the events you were unlocking.
  • Share with others – School calendars can be shared with other parents, and course schedules with classmates.

πŸ› Fixes

  • Right year – Text and image conversions no longer put events in the wrong year.
  • Repeating events – A repeating event no longer stops after its first day.
  • All-day events – An event with no time is now a proper all-day event in the file and in calendar links.
  • Month-name dates – Dates written like 01Nov2026 are read correctly.
  • Google Calendar on phones – The Google Calendar link opens the event at its own time in the phone app.
  • Repeat rules – The repeat preview shows the right weekday.
  • Share links – Share links work after signing in to unlock events.
  • No double charge – You're not charged again for a team calendar you already own.
