This extension adds a "Duplicate event" icon on the event preview card, letting you quickly duplicate it with one single click.
You can also quickly duplicate an event by holding alt (option on Mac OS) while clicking the event.

- (2025-07-03) Simon Caluwé: So simple but so helpful!!
- (2025-06-20) Karim Mira: Working great, the only thing that can be edited is to chose number of duplication like two or three duplication and the other thing is that it changes the view after duplication done to 7 days and changes the week start day
- (2025-06-09) Julie Vladimirovna: Unusable, clicking the duplicate button just brings you to current day without duplicating anything.
- (2025-05-06) Arianne Torio: Fixed bug where it brings you back to current date so it's great for duplicating for future events.
- (2025-05-03) TECHNOSOFT: Awesome! Saves a lot of time. Thank You so much! As others have mentioned, going to current day whenever you duplicate an item in a future day happens. I hope the developer will fix it hopefully. As for my use case, it's not a problem as I only use it whenever i duplicate an item within 4 days. so the view is in the same page. (Also using Alt+Clicking the event saves a lot more time. Clever!) Again Thank you so much for this :)
- (2025-04-18) Andrei LAZAROV (Andy): The duplicate button is not the same color and is not in line with the other buttons. Also duplicating moves the view to present day
- (2025-04-09) Matt Westwood: As others have said, if you're trying to duplicate an event that is not in your current timescale, for example, work shifts weeks or months in the future, every time you alt+click, it will take you back to the current date. It's not particularly functional. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon, as this seems to be pretty basic functionality for a calendar.
- (2025-04-09) crbat33: good stuff well done. love it
- (2025-01-19) Morgan Thomson: Helpful if needing to duplicate an event within the same month- but as a shift worker trying to duplicate my shifts months and months in advance it is less helpful as after you select "duplicate" it sends you back to the current month. Almost creates more work then the original chrome duplicate option where you have to select a new date for the event.
- (2025-01-13) Jeremy Deighan: Seems to work as planned. For some reason it took a couple of minutes for the icon to populate on Calendar after I had refreshed a couple of times. Alt (Option) feature works by clicking on the event one time while holding the shortcut; I was clicking and dragging which wasn't working. Thanks for this plugin!
- (2025-01-02) Daniel Brandon: Works exactly as advertised. Very helpful.
- (2024-12-08) Angelo Bergomi: Good idea, unpleasant issue : if working out of current date range, f.ex : 2 years ahead, performing quick duplicate will refresh page and BRING YOU BACK TO CURRENT DATE
- (2024-11-12) Ciarra Asuncion: THANK YOU
- (2024-10-04) Michal Borkowski: Great thing!
- (2024-09-26) Jan Killian: Awesome! Alt+click is super fast way to duplicate events
- (2024-09-16) Maddie Garrett: Did this ever get fixed? I added the extension but the duplicate button is not appearing on the event preview, nor does the option + click function work.
- (2024-08-27) Kelli Lane: This will be a killer solution, but on the latest Chrome on a PC, I am having two issues: 1. Right click duplicate was there for a bit and now is gone. 2. When I duplicate, it moves to the month before when in month view and the week before in week view. I really hope this gets worked out...the idea is BRILLIANT!
- (2024-08-18) Juls TheHon: It is practical because Google doesn't want to do that feature, but, as the others, very annoying to be redirected to the current week, it should remember the week displayed and after duplicating come back to it. Also, a shortcut or possibility to add a shortcut to do the action would be great, maybe in the extension parameters ? Apart from that, thanks for doing it.
- (2024-08-14) Yuvraj Sarda: Handy extension, use it often. I'm facing the same issue as Karol below though and I hope the dev fixes it soon!
- (2024-08-03) Karol Orellana: Very useful. One issue I am facing is that when I plan for a future week, after duplicating it takes me back to the current week. It's annoying because I have to keep re-adjusting the calendar to go back to the future week I am planning.
- (2024-08-02) Luis Yuja: Love it! Thanks for making it happen. ONE PROBLEM: When I duplicate an event, say for next week, it will duplicate the event for next week, but immediately moves me back to the current week after. I like planning ahead, so this is a problem I'm facing when doing so.
- (2024-06-20) Kavindu Gayashan: What a time saver. we can create duplicates by two clicks. Thanks Fabio for this great extention.
- (2024-06-17) Mitch Dombrowski: Easy to use! Love it!
- (2024-06-17) K Roberts: Such a fantastic timesaving exntension. Use it all the time. Came here to panic-report that it is no longer working, however I see you're already working on a fix! Phew and thanks :)
- (2024-06-16) ゼロ: Not working please fix! Also can you make an option when you right click an event, theres a option to duplicate please?
- (2024-04-28) Brandon Sanchez: I'm having this exact same problem: I like to use my Gcal in weekly view. Whenever I duplicate an event, it will switch my view to the "day view". Could you please make it so that I could either 1) have the same view I started with or 2) have a setting to decide what the default view should be.
- (2024-04-03) EFS: i love it! on mac with opt+click it duplicates an event in 0.5 seconds
- (2024-03-31) Max Risher: Awesome extension, but could you please fix this bug: I like to use my Gcal in weekly view. Whenever I duplicate an event, it will switch my view to the "day view". Could you please make it so that I could either 1) have the same view I started with or 2) have a setting to decide what the default view should be. Thank you so much!
- (2024-03-18) Anders N: Wow, amazing extension! Thanks!!!
- (2024-03-10) Dmitry Voronov: Works as expected, amazing extension!
- (2024-02-16) Desarae Goldsby: [Update: Adding a star because the view switch issue has been resolved] Great concept. Has potential as a good streamliner for duplicating tasks without using Google's "recurring" function that results in nuisance prompts when moving the entries around. My problem is once I duplicate an event, my calendar display switches from "week view" to "day view" and I have to switch it back each time. This completely defeats the single benefit I gleaned from this add on. Also, if the user could specify the number of duplicates, that would be stellar. For example, I pencil in my morning and evening routines when setting up my calendar each week to give me a visual basis for planning all of my time in between. I then I modify the routine blocks with what the actual time they occurred at the end of each day. So on a Monday morning, if I could create a routine block, duplicate it five times, and then move them to their respective days, that would be an ideal scenario and take me about thirty seconds instead of five minutes. Resolving those two points would earn 5 stars from me.
- (2024-01-21) Vena Obukohwo: Can't find the option to duplicate event... or is this not working anymore?
- (2024-01-18) Lea Salgado: It's a great extension but it's a bit stubborn. Sometimes it does not show up as on option, sometimes yes
- (2023-12-31) Beth Bailey: Amazing! Saves so much time. Thank you!!
- (2023-12-04) Mike Sims: Great add-on. Unfortunately, as of December 2023 it no longer works. Bummer. EDIT - Developer has fixed and it's working again! Great. Review updated. This add-on saves me tons of time. I never realized how tedious recreating events and tasks can be until I used this add-on. It's a must-have for me.
- (2023-12-04) Daniel Gullo: Quick duplicate has been working really well for years. Now, it is NOT working as of Chrome Version 119.0.6045.200 (Official Build) (64-bit) released 11/28/2023. I think the plugin needs to be updated or something. It just stopped working in the last few days since this official version of Chrome was deployed.
- (2023-12-04) Eric Olson: Stopped working
- (2023-12-03) elegant disaster: Great add-on, thank you developer(s)! But as Daniel said, as of right now it does not work :/
- (2023-10-23) Andy: Does what it says, made life a lot easier. Silly that this extension is even required, wish Google Calendar let you duplicate drop and drag itself

- (2023-08-19) Stephen Zimmer: Seems to duplicate but immediately places the duplicate at the same time of the original event without allowing me to change the event to a different date and or time. So, it does duplicate, but why not duplicate and keep the duplicate event open in order to change details before closing and saving?

- (2023-08-13) Bogdan Radičević: Properly duplicates a task but changes the view from "week" to "day" wasting more of my time and clicks instead of saving it.

- (2023-07-29) Kim (Kaleecee): Not working after 2 uses... Removed it within minutes as it would change from week view to day view after only one time duplicating an event. I would have to go back to week view and start again, then it may work or not. Really hoped it would've worked!
