Use public cooking videos from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Pinterest, plus recipe blog links. Instagram photo posts and carousels work too. Videos can be up to one hour. For videos longer than five minutes, extraction uses available captions, descriptions and comments instead of watching the video. Private, deleted or login-only posts cannot be read.
Not at all! The video can simply be a series of images showing someone making the recipe. Our models analyze three elements: audio, visuals, and text. So even if the video only shows the actions of someone cooking, without any audio, it will work. If there’s an overlay with instructions or an explanation, our models will take that into account too!
Clip Recipe extracts comprehensive recipe details including step-by-step directions, ingredients list, portion size, cooking duration, required equipment, and helpful tips.
Our AI system is highly accurate in extracting recipe information, but we recommend reviewing the extracted content to ensure everything matches your needs and expectations.
Some creators never state the amounts. Clip Recipe uses the video, caption and on-screen text. Check the creator’s caption or pinned comment for missing quantities, then add them in the recipe editor.
Clip Recipe extracts each distinct dish with its own ingredients and steps. In My Recipes, dishes from the same video are grouped into a deck; use the arrows inside the card to switch between them. You can edit, share or export each dish separately. Multiple recipes from one video count as one extraction and are included in every extraction plan. The video must be public, no longer than one hour, and contain enough information to make each dish. For videos over five minutes, only available captions, descriptions and comments are used. Components of one dish, such as a sauce and filling, stay together.
