What is Video2Recipe?

Video2Recipe converts cooking videos into written recipes with structured ingredients and step-by-step instructions. You paste a link to a YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram video, and the tool extracts the recipe content and formats it as readable text. This is useful if you prefer following written recipes rather than watching videos, or if you want to keep a searchable collection of recipes you've discovered online. The platform offers free and paid tiers; higher-tier subscriptions include priority support and additional features like recipe exports and API access.
