How to add an event from a screenshot or poster to Google Calendar

Quick answer: Install the free NanoEvent extension, right-click the image (or use its crop tool to select part of the page) and choose the NanoEvent item. It reads the title, date, time and place from the image; check them and click Add to Google Calendar.

Event details often come as pictures: a poster shared in a group chat, a class timetable, a ticket confirmation page. Typing them into Calendar is slow and easy to get wrong.
