Outlook can export calendars in the standard iCalendar format (.ics), which NimbleCal can import.

Option A: Outlook desktop app (Windows or Mac)

  1. Open Outlook.
  2. Go to the Calendar view.
  3. Select the calendar you want to export.
  4. Use Outlook's Save Calendar / export flow to export an .ics file.

If your Outlook version does not offer .ics export, try Outlook on the web (Option B) or use Google Calendar as a bridge.

Some Outlook accounts let you publish a calendar to get an .ics link.

  1. Open Outlook on the web.
  2. Open Settings (gear icon) → View all Outlook settings.
  3. Go to CalendarShared calendarsPublish a calendar.
  4. Choose the calendar and publish it (use "can view all details" if available).
  5. Copy the ICS link, open it in a new tab, and save the downloaded .ics file.

Note: Some organizations disable calendar publishing. If you do not see this option, use Outlook desktop export instead.
