ICS File Viewer
Open a local .ics file to preview events and export events, tasks and calendar properties as JSON. RRULE values are preserved, but repeating events are not expanded into individual occurrences.

The conversion runs inside the page with browser JavaScript. Nothing you enter is uploaded, the tool keeps working offline, and it is safe for data you are not allowed to send to a third party.
Structured data formats look interchangeable until one of them loses a type, a timezone or a comment. These tools read one representation, apply a documented mapping and write another, so round-tripping and column order stay predictable instead of depending on a spreadsheet export.
Most surprises come from implicit conversions: numbers turning into strings, dates shifting by a timezone, or an empty cell becoming null instead of an empty string. Convert a representative sample first and diff it against the original.
Browsers, desktop tools and command-line utilities should agree on the result; a mismatch usually means a different encoding, locale or version. Validate the converted output with a parser for the target format rather than trusting the preview alone, and keep the source file untouched until the round trip is verified.
Field order is meaningful in some formats and irrelevant in others, and quoting rules differ; when a downstream system is strict, check its own documentation rather than the general case. Keep a copy of the input while you experiment, so a wrong setting never destroys the source.
Accepts an .ics file (text/calendar) or pasted iCalendar content; outputs a structured JSON representation of the parsed calendar events and tasks.
Debugging calendar invites before integration; converting exported .ics data to JSON for scripts; inspecting VTODO tasks and RRULE recurrence rules without an online service.
The .ics file or pasted iCalendar content is processed in browser JavaScript and is not uploaded to KivTools.
Only VEVENT and VTODO entries are previewed; other iCalendar components such as VFREEBUSY or VJOURNAL are not displayed.
Yes. Every tool on KivTools is free, needs no account and has no usage quota. There is no paid tier hiding behind the workbench, and no email address is required to use the result.
Inside your browser. The page loads a script once and the conversion happens on your machine, which is also why the tool still works when the network drops.
Accepts an .ics file (text/calendar) or pasted iCalendar content; outputs a structured JSON representation of the parsed calendar events and tasks. Large inputs are usually handled without trouble, but extremely large ones are better processed in a local command-line tool.
Round-tripping is the real proof: convert the file and convert it back before you trust the mapping. Compare a small known-good sample first when the output feeds an automated pipeline.
The output is yours: no watermark, no licence tag, no attribution requirement. Check the underlying format or library licence when the result ships in a product.
The page works in any modern mobile browser, and the layout collapses to a single column on small screens. Local tools keep working offline once the page has loaded.
