How to Import an ICS File to Outlook
Import an ICS file into Outlook after creating a work schedule, pay period calendar, or event file with WCalendar.
Import checklist
Outlook has multiple calendar experiences, so exact labels may vary. The core workflow is the same: download an ICS file, open Outlook's calendar import option, choose a destination calendar, and review the imported events.
1. Generate and download the file
Use WCalendar to preview your dates, then download the ICS file.
2. Open your Outlook calendar
Go to Outlook Calendar and find the import calendar option for your Outlook version.
3. Select the ICS file
Choose the downloaded file and the calendar where Outlook should place the imported events.
4. Confirm the imported dates
Check the first few events after import. If the wrong calendar was selected, it is easier to fix immediately.
WCalendar does not access Outlook
The file is generated in your browser. WCalendar does not request Outlook permissions, read your calendar, or save your schedule.
