Common Questions
The things people ask most before they paste their first link.
Is CookingGuru free?
Yes. You can convert 2 cooking videos into recipes without an account at all, and a free account raises that to 5 conversions a month with up to 5 saved recipes. Nothing is charged unless you choose to upgrade, and there is no credit card required to use the free tiers.
Do I need to sign up to use it?
No. Paste a video link into the converter and you get a full recipe back — ingredients, measurements, and steps — without signing up. Anonymous use is capped at 2 conversions per 30 days; you only need a free account to go beyond that or to save recipes to a cookbook.
Is CookingGuru a website or an app?
Both, and you can use either on its own. cooking.guru works in any browser on desktop, Android, and iPhone with nothing to install. There is also a free iOS app that adds a share-sheet shortcut, so you can send a TikTok or Reel straight to CookingGuru without copying links.
Does it work on Android?
Yes — the website works fully on Android in Chrome or any mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app. There is no native Android app in the Play Store yet; the native app is currently iOS only.
Is there a subscription, and what does it cost?
A subscription is optional. Pro is $4.99 a month (or $41.92 a year) and includes unlimited conversions, unlimited saved recipes, nutrition information, and PDF export, with a 7-day free trial. If you would rather not subscribe, one-off recipe credit packs start at $1.99 for 10 recipes and never expire.
