YouTube Recipe Extractor
Paste a cooking Short or video and get a clean recipe — ingredients and steps — pulled straight from the video. No sign up.
Stop pausing and scrubbing for the recipe
Recipe Shorts move fast and cooking videos bury the method between the story and the ads. This tool reads the video for you and lays out the recipe as a clean card — ingredients you can tick off and steps in order — so you can just cook.
It reads the video’s transcript first, and falls back to the description (where many creators paste the full recipe), then uses AI to structure it. Because it’s AI-generated from the video, double-check quantities against the original.
How to extract a recipe from a YouTube video
1. Copy the video link
Grab the link of the cooking Short or video from the Share button or the address bar.
2. Paste it and click Extract Recipe
The tool reads the transcript (or description) and pulls out the recipe.
3. Read, check off, and cook
You get ingredients and ordered steps in a clean card — tick off ingredients as you go, or copy the whole recipe.
