TikTok to Recipe ConverterAny TikTok cooking video → ingredients & steps
Paste a TikTok 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.
How do I get the recipe from a TikTok video?
Tap the caption to expand it, check the creator's pinned comment, and look for a "Full recipe" button under the video. If none of them has the recipe, copy the TikTok link and paste it into the converter above: 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.
- On the TikTok, tap the share arrow and choose Copy link.
- Paste the link into the box above and press Convert.
- You get a titled recipe with an ingredient list and numbered steps, which you can print, or save to your cookbook with a free account.

Instant Conversion
A TikTok becomes a recipe in about ten seconds. No pausing and rewinding to catch an ingredient that flashed past.
Nothing to install
Works in any browser on phone or desktop. On iPhone, the free app lets you share a TikTok straight to it.
Keep it if the TikTok goes
Favorites only bookmark the video. A saved recipe stays in your cookbook even if the creator deletes the TikTok.
What TikToks 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 TikTok link, including photo slideshows and short vm.tiktok.com and tt.site links. Private posts can't be converted.

TikTok to Recipe FAQ
How do I convert a TikTok video into a recipe?
Tap the share arrow on the TikTok, 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 TikTok to recipe converter free?
Yes — the TikTok to 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 TikTok caption doesn't include the recipe?
That is the usual case, and it still works. Most cooking TikToks only show quantities as text overlays for a second or say them in the voiceover. The converter reads every overlay and transcribes the audio, so those measurements end up in the ingredient list.
Does it work with vm.tiktok.com short links?
Yes. Paste the link exactly as TikTok's Copy link gives it to you, whether it is a short vm.tiktok.com link or a full tiktok.com/@creator/video/ URL.
How do I copy a recipe from a TikTok as text?
Convert the TikTok here, then press Copy on the recipe. 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 TikTok recipes so they don't disappear?
TikTok's Favorites only bookmark the video, 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 TikTok?
Yes. Convert the TikTok, then print the recipe page from your browser: Cmd + P (Mac), Ctrl + P (Windows), or Share → Print on iPhone. Pro also exports the recipe as a PDF.
Does it work on TikTok photo slideshows?
Yes. Paste the slideshow link the same way as a video. The converter reads the text on each photo, such as ingredient lists and step captions, along with the post's caption.
Which TikToks can't be converted?
Private or deleted posts, 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 TikTok videos into recipes on iPhone?
Yes. CookingGuru is a free iPhone and iPad app (CookingGuru: Recipe Manager on the App Store). In the TikTok app, tap share and choose CookingGuru, and the recipe is written out and saved to your cookbook, with no link copying. The app also has Discover for finding new recipes and a shopping list. There is no Android app yet; on Android, use cooking.guru in your browser. More at cooking.guru/tiktok-recipe-app.
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.
