Easy-to-use converter suitable for novices


If you only wish to convert a single file, the operation is very straightforward. You just need to select the source document, specify where the output file should be saved and click the Convert button. However, it would have been great if drag and drop actions were supported.
The source file can contain multiple fields, such as the event title and date, as well as others that define recurring events and scheduled reminders.

Monitor a folder and perform conversions automatically


CSV-to-ICS Converter enables you to select a folder that should be checked at all times for new CSV files. When one of these is detected, it is converted to ICS automatically, without requiring any user input.
