How to save recipes from Instagram and TikTok

Copy the link of the video and add it to a recipe app that reads the video. KissCooks extracts the title, ingredients, steps and photo into a clean recipe you can edit, even when the recipe is spoken in the video and not written in the caption.

In three steps

  • Copy the link of the Reel, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook video.
  • Add it to KissCooks. You can add several links at once.
  • Check the recipe it builds, correct anything that is off, and save it to your library.

Why screenshots and “saved” posts fail

Screenshots cannot be searched and saved posts disappear in a long feed. A recipe stored as text can be found by ingredient, scaled for more people and added to a menu.

Check what the app produced

Automatic extraction can make mistakes, especially on quantities. Read the ingredients before you shop, and fix them in the recipe. KissCooks lets you edit every ingredient and step, and retry the extraction if it did not work.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work if the recipe is not in the caption?

KissCooks reads the video, including what is said out loud, not only the description.

Can I import from a website too?

Yes. Most recipe websites work, along with photos and screenshots. A few sites ask not to be saved, and KissCooks respects that.
