PDF to calendar

Drop a PDF into Sense chat - sports schedules, camp packets, school year calendars, conference agendas - and AI extracts every date into your family calendar.

All input methods

How it works

  1. Drop the PDF in chat

    Tap attach in Sense chat, choose Document, browse to the PDF. Or forward an email with the PDF attached.

  2. Sense reads every dated row

    Tables, body text, scanned image PDFs - all handled. A 20-game season becomes 20 separate events.

  3. Review and save

    Confirm what Sense found. Skip duplicates, edit anything off, save the rest to your family calendar.

What Sense reads inside a PDF

  • Tables and schedules

    The classic season grid. Date / Opponent / Time / Location columns parse cleanly.

  • Body text

    "Pickup is at 4pm on Friday, May 8" buried in a paragraph - found and extracted.

  • Scanned PDFs

    A coach's hand-marked schedule or a school's scanned newsletter. Works, though clean text PDFs are most reliable.

  • Notes and context

    "Wear team colors", "bring a snack to share" - pulled into the event's notes alongside the date.

  • Multi-page documents

    The 20-page summer camp packet, the school's full-year calendar PDF - every page gets read.

  • Bigger files via email

    10MB chat limit, but no limit when forwarded as an email attachment to share@getsense.ai.

Frequently asked

  • How big can the PDF be?

    Up to 10MB when uploading through Sense chat. For larger PDFs, forward them as an email attachment to share@getsense.ai - email attachments are processed without the size limit.

  • Does Sense handle scanned PDFs and image-based PDFs?

    Yes. Sense reads both text-based PDFs and scanned-image PDFs. A coach's hand-marked PDF or a school's scanned newsletter both work - though clean text PDFs extract most reliably.

  • Can it extract a whole season schedule at once?

    Yes. A 20-game soccer season PDF, a summer camp's full daily schedule, a conference agenda - Sense pulls every dated row, not just the first one. Each becomes its own calendar event.

  • What about password-protected PDFs?

    Not supported - Sense can't open encrypted PDFs. Remove the password first by exporting from your PDF viewer with security removed, then upload.
