What is Video2Recipe?
Video2Recipe is an AI-powered tool that transforms cooking videos from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook into beautifully organized recipes with ingredient lists and step-by-step instructions. Users simply paste a video URL, and the AI watches the video, transcribes the content, and intelligently extracts all recipe details—ready for immediate use in the kitchen.
The tool works even when cooking videos don't have captions or subtitles, as its AI automatically transcribes the audio. It delivers recipes in seconds rather than minutes, providing a beautifully organized recipe card that users can save, print, or start cooking from right away. Recipe collection is stored safely forever, protecting against videos disappearing or accounts being deleted.
Video2Recipe is designed for home cooks who enjoy following cooking videos but want written recipes for reference, culinary hobbyists who want to preserve recipes they find online, and anyone who dislikes rewinding and pausing videos repeatedly to remember ingredients and steps. It's also web-based, requiring no software installation.
Key features include support for all major platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), automatic audio transcription, lightning-fast conversion, unlimited recipe storage, REST API access, and recipe export capabilities. The free tier allows 3 recipes per month for videos up to 10 minutes, while paid plans remove video length limits and increase monthly recipe quotas.
