Export Google Calendar: ICS zip, CSV, Excel, PDF, and date range

Short answer: Google Calendar exports only iCalendar (.ics). On a computer, open Settings, then Import & export. Under Export, click Export. A .zip downloads with one .ics file per calendar you own or can manage. To export one calendar, open its Settings and sharing page and click Export calendar. You cannot export from the Google Calendar app. Work or school admins can restrict export.

There is no CSV, Excel, or Sheets export in Google Calendar. Use the in-browser converter below, then open the CSV in Excel or import it into Google Sheets. For a visible date range, print and save as PDF. Moving events to another Google account is in the transfer Google Calendar guide. Bringing a file back in is in the Import ICS and Import CSV guides. A backup strategy — Takeout, a saved ICS file, restore, and what archives miss — is in the Google Calendar backup guide. Resync does not export calendars. It writes private Busy holds between Google calendars you connect.

Export on a computer

Google Calendar Help documents two ways to export events from your Google Calendar: every calendar you can export, or one calendar. Both produce iCalendar files. Both are computer-only.

Export all calendars

On your computer, open Google Calendar.
At the top right, click Settings.
On the left, click Import & export.
Under Export, click Export. A .zip file downloads to your computer.

Help's tip: to import those files back into Google Calendar, open the .zip to access the individual .ics files. That import path is in the Import ICS into Google Calendar guide.

Export one calendar

On your computer, open Google Calendar.
On the left, under My calendars, find the calendar you want to export.
Point to the calendar name.
Click More, then Settings and sharing.
Under Calendar settings, click Export calendar. An .ics file downloads to your computer.

You must have Make changes and manage sharing for that calendar. If you use Calendar through work, school, or another organization, your administrator may restrict export. If you cannot export, contact your administrator.

What the export includes

Export events Help describes a copy of your events as .ics. It does not list every field in that file. A separate Export your data from Google Calendar page lists what a Calendar archive includes. Google Tasks are a different download.

Item	In the export?	What Help documents
Calendars you can manage	Yes, if you can export them	Export events Help says you must have Make changes and manage sharing for the calendar you want to export. That includes calendars you own and calendars someone shared with that permission.
Subscribed or Other calendars	Usually no	Help does not say subscribed or Other calendars are in the zip. If you only have See event details or See only free/busy, you do not have the permission Help requires, so that calendar is left out.
Events on an exported calendar	A copy, as .ics	Export events Help describes a copy of your events as an .ics file you can import into other calendar apps. It does not list every field in that file.
Takeout calendar archive	Separate download	Export your data from Google Calendar lists what a Calendar archive includes in iCalendar format: start and end time, recurring-event frequency, invitees and responses, title, description, location, and created and last modified times.
Google Tasks	No	Tasks are not listed on the Export events page. Export your data from Google Tasks is a separate download for task titles, due dates, lists, and related fields.

Google Tasks

In the export?: No
What Help documents: Tasks are not listed on the Export events page. Export your data from Google Tasks is a separate download for task titles, due dates, lists, and related fields.

An export is a snapshot. Later changes on the original calendar do not update the downloaded file. If you want another Google account to keep seeing the same calendar, share it instead of exporting.

Export to CSV, Excel, or Sheets

Google Calendar Help documents export as .ics only. There is no CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets export in Settings. Two documented or local options:

Convert an .ics file to CSV in your browser on this page. The file never leaves the browser. There is no upload and no network call. Columns are Subject, Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, All Day Event, Description, and Location — the English headers Import events to Google Calendar accepts, minus Private. All-day DATE values become True with empty times. UTC times with a Z stay in UTC. TZID times are kept as written. Folded lines and escaped commas, semicolons, and newlines are decoded. A repeating event stays one master row. Repeats are not expanded. Then open the CSV in Excel, or import it into Google Sheets.
For a date range you can see, print your calendar and choose Save as PDF.

This converter runs in your browser. The file never leaves the browser. There is no upload and no network call.

Choose an .ics file

If you later want those CSV rows back in Google Calendar, use the Import CSV into Google Calendar guide. Import is a one-time copy. Guests and conference data are not imported.

Date range, one event, or PDF

Export events Help does not document a date-range export or a way to export one event as .ics. The Settings export is the whole calendar you selected.

Print a range: on a computer, pick Day, Week, Month, Schedule, or 4 days, then Settings menu, Print. On the print dialog, choose Save as PDF. Print Help documents this as a way to print your calendar for a specific date range. Full steps for font size, weekends, Save as PDF, and printing from a phone are in How to print Google Calendar (Day, Week, Month, Schedule, and PDF).
Filter a spreadsheet: export the calendar, convert the .ics to CSV below, then filter Start Date in Excel or Sheets. That filter is in the spreadsheet, not in Google Calendar.
One event: Help does not document an Export this event control. Export the calendar and keep the matching row, or print Day view for that date.

Outlook and Apple Calendar

Export plus import is a one-time snapshot. The downloaded .ics does not stay in sync with Google Calendar. For a live view, use the subscribe paths in those guides instead.

Outlook: Sync Google Calendar with Outlook covers a Google iCal feed in Outlook. That is a subscription, not this file export.
Apple Calendar: Sync Apple (iCloud) Calendar with Google Calendar covers adding the Google account or an iCal link. Importing the .ics you downloaded is a copy, not a live account.
Back into Google: Import ICS into Google Calendar or Import CSV into Google Calendar. Imported events do not stay in sync.

If a public iCal address shows Feed processing error, Export events Help says to use the secret address in iCal format instead. That is the subscribe path, not the zip export. The Google Calendar iCal link guide covers those addresses.

Export not working

If Export is missing, the zip looks wrong, or times look off after you convert, start with what Help documents.

What you see	Likely cause	Fix
Export button missing on phone	Export events Help says you can't export from the Google Calendar app. You can only export on a computer from Google Calendar.	Open calendar.google.com on a computer. Use Settings, then Import & export, or open Settings and sharing for one calendar and click Export calendar.
Zip has many files	Exporting all calendars downloads a .zip. Help says that zip holds individual .ics files. Each file is one calendar you were able to export.	Open the zip, then use the .ics you need. To import back into Google Calendar, Help says you must open the zip and import each .ics on its own. This page's converter also reads one .ics at a time.
Calendar missing from the export	Help requires Make changes and manage sharing. A subscribed calendar, a holiday calendar, or a calendar shared as See event details does not meet that permission. Work or school admins can also restrict export.	Check Settings and sharing for that calendar. If you do not own it, ask the owner for Make changes and manage sharing, or ask them to export it. If Export is missing on a work or school account, contact your administrator.
Empty file	The calendar you exported may have no events, or you opened the zip instead of an .ics inside it. Help does not document a separate empty-file error.	Open the zip first. Confirm you exported the calendar that has events. Check that calendar in Google Calendar on a computer. If every export is empty on a work or school account, ask your administrator whether export is restricted.
Time zone looks off after converting	Google exports timed events as UTC (a Z suffix) or with a TZID. This page keeps TZID clock times as written and treats Z times as UTC. That can look different from the time you see in Calendar.	Compare the .ics value to Calendar. Check Change your time zone if the web calendar itself looks wrong. Excel or Sheets may also parse the time column as a number. Keep the Start Time and End Time columns as text if that happens.

Export button missing on phone

Likely cause: Export events Help says you can't export from the Google Calendar app. You can only export on a computer from Google Calendar.

How Resync fits

Use an export when you want a snapshot: a backup, a spreadsheet, or a one-time copy in another app. An export does not stay updated. Resync does not export calendars, convert ICS files, or write CSV. It currently syncs Google calendars only. It does not sync Outlook, Apple Calendar, or iCloud.

Use Resync when you keep more than one Google account and busy time on one should block time on another without sharing titles. Resync uses the Google Calendar API with the accounts you connect. It writes Google-only private Busy holds. Holds are titled Busy. $1.50/month or $9/year after a 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

Resync lists calendars Google returns for each connected account. It hides calendars Google marks hidden. It does not take an ICS file, a CSV file, or an ICS URL.
You mark Source on the calendars to read and Mirror on the calendars that should receive holds. Resync does not automatically export a file.
Holds are titled Busy. Description, location, attendees, and conference data are left empty, so source meeting details stay on the source calendar.
Each hold occupies the time. Resync sets that availability on the hold. It does not copy the source title.
If a source event moves, Resync updates the hold. If the event is cancelled, marked free, declined, or is a working-location event, Resync does not keep a hold.
Resync looks 90 days ahead when it reads source events. It watches source calendars with Google push notifications and updates holds when those events change. A polling fallback also runs about every 5 minutes. Read-only calendars cannot be mirrors. Resync currently syncs Google calendars only.
If you delete or edit a hold, Resync records that and does not recreate it for the same source event on that mirror.
If the source event is Private, the hold is Private. Otherwise the hold uses default visibility.

Set up Resync

Sign in with GoogleOpen Resync and sign in with the Google account you want as your primary account. You land on setup.
Connect another Google accountChoose Connect another Google account and finish Google's permission screen. Resync needs at least two Google accounts before you can start.
Start syncingWhen a second account is connected, setup shows bidirectional mirroring as the intended default: real events on either side become private busy blocks on the other. Choose Start syncing to open the dashboard.
Mark sources and mirrorsIn Sync configuration, turn on Source to read busy time from a calendar and Mirror to receive Busy holds. A calendar can be both. Read-only calendars cannot be mirrors because Resync needs write access to create holds. An export is a snapshot. Resync does not take an ICS or CSV file.
