How Do I Import the .ics File into My Calendar App?

After generating your lunar birthday calendar and clicking the Download .ICS button, you will have a file on your device called lunar-family-calendar.ics. Here is how to import it into the most popular calendar apps.

Step 1 — Generate and download your calendar

  1. Go to the Lunar Calendar Converter
  2. Add your family members with their lunar birth dates
  3. Choose how many years ahead to generate
  4. Click Generate Calendar
  5. Click ⬇ Download .ICS — the file saves to your Downloads folder

Google Calendar (browser)

  1. Open calendar.google.com in your browser
  2. Click the ⚙ Settings gear icon (top right)
  3. Click Settings from the dropdown
  4. In the left sidebar click Import & export
  5. Under "Import", click Select file from your computer
  6. Choose the lunar-family-calendar.ics file
  7. Select which of your Google calendars to import into (tip: create a new calendar called "Lunar Birthdays" first for easy management)
  8. Click Import

Apple Calendar (Mac)

  1. Open the Calendar app on your Mac
  2. From the menu bar click File → Import…
  3. Navigate to your Downloads folder and select lunar-family-calendar.ics
  4. Click Import
  5. Choose which calendar to add the events to

Alternatively, simply double-click the .ics file in Finder — Calendar will open and prompt you to import it automatically.

Apple Calendar (iPhone / iPad)

  1. Send the .ics file to yourself by email or save it to iCloud Drive
  2. Tap the file — iOS will recognise it and ask "Add All X Events?"
  3. Tap Add All

Microsoft Outlook (desktop)

  1. Open Outlook
  2. Click File → Open & Export → Import/Export
  3. Select Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar file (.vcs)
  4. Click Next
  5. Browse to the lunar-family-calendar.ics file and click OK
  6. Choose Import (adds to existing calendar) or Open as New (creates a separate calendar)

Other calendar apps

Any calendar application that supports the iCalendar standard (RFC 5545) can import this file. This includes Thunderbird, Fastmail, Proton Calendar, Samsung Calendar, and most other modern calendar apps. Look for an "Import" or "Add calendar" option and select the .ics file.

Tip: create a dedicated calendar first

For the best experience, create a new calendar specifically for your lunar birthdays (e.g., "Lunar Family Birthdays") before importing. This keeps the events grouped together so you can show, hide, or delete all of them with a single click — rather than having them mixed into your personal calendar.
