What is an ICS file?

An ICS (iCalendar) file is a universal calendar format used to store and exchange calendar events. It's a text-based format that allows calendar applications like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and others to share event information seamlessly. When you receive a meeting invitation or download an event, it's often in ICS format, containing details like event titles, dates, locations, and descriptions.
