5 answers to the things people ask us most. Tap any question to expand.
01The recipe is scattered across a 15-minute video. Can you find it?
That's the job. We transcribe the whole video, read the description, and reconstruct the complete ingredient list and steps in order — no scrubbing back and forth.
02Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes — Shorts, full-length videos, and short youtu.be links all work.
03Is this really free?
Yes — 3 recipes per week, no sign-up, no email. It's our way of showing what FOODIE does. If you want unlimited saves, grocery lists, and cook mode, that's what the app is for.
04How many recipes can I convert?
3 per week on the free web tool. The FOODIE iPhone app has no such wall for saving recipes to your collection.
05What happens if the recipe is only spoken in the video?
We transcribe the audio and watch the video frames, so recipes that are never written down still come out as complete ingredient lists and steps.
How to save a YouTube recipe as a PDF
Copy the link to the YouTube cooking video — the Share button gives you a youtu.be link, and Shorts links work too. Paste it into the tool above and click “Get my PDF”. The full video and audio are analyzed along with the description, the ingredients with exact amounts and the steps in order are written down, and you get a printable US Letter recipe card.
This works even when the recipe is never typed out — spoken instructions in a 15-minute video become a clean one-page card. Free, no sign-up, up to 3 recipes a week. The FOODIE app for iPhone saves YouTube recipes straight from the share sheet — unlimited, with grocery lists, serving scaling, and cook mode.
