Export your Google Calendar

You can export events from all your calendars or from a single calendar only.

How to export calendars

You can only export calendars listed under 'My calendars', on the left-hand side of Google Calendar. To export a calendar, you also need to have the 'Make changes and manage sharing' setting.

Learn more about sharing settings.

Export events from all calendars

1. On your computer, open Google Calendar. You can't export your calendar from the Google Calendar app. 
2. At the top right, click Settings  Settings.
3. To download your events, click Import and export.
4. Under 'Export', click Export.  A ZIP file will download to your computer. If you open the ZIP file, you'll find individual ICS files for each of your calendars.

To import the files back into Google Calendar, take the individual ICS files out of the ZIP file and import them one by one.

Troubleshoot problems

'Feed processing error'

If you use the link under 'Public address in iCal format', you might get this error.

Instead, use the address under 'Secret address in iCal format'. If you don't find this section, you can't export the file.

Can't export events

If you use Google Calendar through your work, school or other organisations, you may not have the ability to export events. Contact your admin.
