Poster to Calendar

Poster to Calendar turns a photo of an event poster, flyer, or screenshot into a ready-to-save calendar event, with the title, date, time, and place filled in.

Open Poster to Calendar

Last updated October 27, 2026

How to use it

  1. Open Poster to Calendar and snap or upload the poster.
  2. Bum Bum reads it and builds the event, or several, if the poster lists a lineup.
  3. Check every detail and fix anything it misread.
  4. Save with one tap as a calendar file, or add it straight to Google Calendar.

Good to know

  • One poster read uses one action, however many events it holds, up to six.
  • Screenshots of digital posters work just as well as photos of paper ones.
  • Relative dates get resolved for you: a poster that says Friday means the coming Friday.
  • No poster handy? The sample poster on the page drops three editable events in for free, so you can see the whole flow first.
  • If a photo holds no event at all (a pet, a selfie, a menu), Bum Bum says so instead of guessing. It only reads posters and flyers.

Your data

Your photo is sent to the reader, read, and discarded. It is never stored.

Tips

  • Crooked photo, straighten it first with Image Cropper, or just retake it square-on. Dates read far more reliably head-on.
  • Always eyeball the year on New Year's-adjacent posters. Humans get that wrong too.

Questions
