Facebook Reels Recipe ConverterAny cooking Reel → ingredients & steps
Paste a Facebook Reel link and get a written recipe: measured ingredients and numbered steps. The converter reads the on-screen text, listens to the voiceover, and checks the caption, so it works when the creator never wrote the recipe down.

Instant Conversion
A Reel becomes a recipe in about ten seconds. No pausing and rewinding to catch an ingredient that flashed past.
Quantities from the video
Overlays like “1 cup brown sugar” and amounts said in the voiceover land in the ingredient list, not just what's in the caption.
Keep it if the Reel goes
Facebook's Save only bookmarks the Reel. A saved recipe stays in your cookbook even if the creator deletes it.
What Facebook Reels it can convert
Recipes shown on screen
Text overlays that appear for a second are read frame by frame, so every quantity is captured.
Recipes said out loud
The voiceover is transcribed, so a recipe that is only spoken still becomes a written ingredient list and steps.
Recipes in the caption
When the caption has the recipe, it's tidied into a structured ingredient list and numbered steps.
Works with any public Reel or Facebook video, including facebook.com/share links and fb.watch short links. Private Reels, anything that needs a login to view, and photo posts can't be converted.

Facebook Reels Recipe Converter FAQ
How do I get the recipe from a Facebook Reel?
Tap the caption to expand it and check the comments, where creators often post the recipe or a link to it. If neither has it, copy the Reel's link and paste it into the converter on this page: CookingGuru writes out the ingredients, quantities and steps from what is said and shown in the video. It's free, with no account needed for your first 2 conversions.
How do I convert a Facebook Reel into a recipe?
Tap Share on the Reel, choose Copy link, paste the link into the converter on this page, and press Convert. In about ten seconds you get a titled recipe with measured ingredients and numbered steps, taken from the on-screen text, the voiceover, and the caption.
Is the Facebook Reels recipe converter free?
Yes — the Facebook Reels recipe converter is free to use with no credit card. You get 2 conversions with no account, or 5 per month (and up to 5 saved recipes) with a free account. Create an account only if you want the higher limit or to save recipes.
What if the Reel's caption doesn't include the recipe?
That is the usual case, and it still works. Most cooking Reels only show quantities as text overlays or say them in the voiceover. The converter reads every overlay and transcribes the audio, so those measurements end up in the ingredient list.
Which Facebook links work?
Paste the link exactly as Facebook's Copy link gives it to you. facebook.com/share/r/ and /share/v/ links, fb.watch short links, facebook.com/reel/ links, and links to Facebook videos (/videos/ or /watch?v=) all work.
How do I copy a recipe from a Facebook Reel as text?
Convert the Reel here, then press Copy Recipe (this needs a free account). The title, ingredients and steps go to your clipboard as plain text, ready to paste into Notes, a message, or a shopping list.
How do I save Facebook recipes so they don't disappear?
Facebook's Save only bookmarks the Reel, so the recipe is gone if the creator deletes it. Converting it and pressing Save keeps the written recipe in your CookingGuru cookbook. A free account holds up to 5 saved recipes; Pro is unlimited.
Can I print a recipe from a Facebook Reel?
Yes. Convert the Reel, then press Cmd + P (Mac) or Ctrl + P (Windows), or Share → Print on iPhone. The recipe prints cleanly as a one- or two-page card.
Which Facebook Reels can't be converted?
Private Reels, Reels in private groups or anything else that only opens after logging in, photo posts (only videos are supported), and silent videos with no caption and no readable on-screen text. The converter also can't invent a quantity that was never shown or said anywhere in the video.
Is there an app that turns Facebook Reels into recipes?
Yes. The free CookingGuru iPhone app appears in the share sheet, so you can send a Reel from the Facebook app straight to it without copying the link. On Android or desktop, use this website — it works in any browser with nothing to install.

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. CookingGuru is a free iPhone and iPad app on the App Store (CookingGuru: Recipe Manager) and a website, and either works on its own. In the app you share a TikTok or Instagram Reel straight from the app you're watching it in, and the recipe lands in your cookbook. cooking.guru does the same conversion in any browser on desktop, Android, and iPhone with nothing to install.
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.
