Free tool, no account needed
Paste a Facebook video, reel or fb.watch link. We watch it, then write out the ingredients with amounts and the steps. No account, no captcha.
Most Facebook cooking videos flash the recipe on screen for a second, or say it while the pan is moving. We watch the whole video and read the post next to it.
The recipe card has:
When a post links to the creator’s written recipe, we read that page too and use it to fill in amounts the video never showed. Whatever is left is a typical amount for the dish, and it carries an “estimated” label, so you always know which numbers came from the creator. We watch up to 3 minutes of video.
Copy the link
In the app, tap Share under the video, then Copy link. On a computer, click Share and choose Copy link. A reel, a watch link and an fb.watch link all work.
Paste it and press Get the recipe
We open the video as a logged-out visitor, watch it and read the post. It takes about 8 to 25 seconds.
Cook from it, or keep it
Tap ingredients as you gather them, copy the text, print a one-page card, or save it to a free RecipeClip account.
Copy the video’s link (Share, then Copy link), paste it into the box above and press Get the recipe. It takes about 8 to 25 seconds. You get the title, the ingredients with amounts, the steps in order, and a credit to the creator.
It is free, with no account, no card and no captcha. You get 3 free tries a day, shared across our free video tools. A free RecipeClip account is only needed to save the recipe to a library.
Yes. It takes facebook.com/reel links, facebook.com/watch links, page video links, fb.watch short links and the share links the Facebook app creates. If you paste a whole shared message with the link buried in it, we pull the link out for you.
Many cooking videos never show or say how much of an ingredient goes in. We use the on-screen text, what is said, the text of the post and the creator’s own written recipe when the post links it or we find it on their site. The card names that page when we use it. When none of them gives an amount, we write a typical amount for the dish and mark the line estimated so you can check it against the video.
No. We can only open what Facebook shows to someone who is logged out. If the video is private, deleted or in a private group, the tool says so. If it is your own video, set it to Public first.
We watch up to 3 minutes without an account. For a longer video we write the recipe from the text of the post or the creator’s written recipe, if either has it, and the card says the video was not watched. A free RecipeClip account watches videos up to 20 minutes long.
It reads what the video shows on screen, what is said and what the post says, and labels every amount nobody gave as estimated. It can still miss a pinch of spice in a fast video. Check the result against the video before you cook it for guests.
Yes to all three. Copy puts clean plain text on your clipboard, Print gives a one-page recipe card without the rest of the page, and saving it to a free RecipeClip account (20 AI imports a month) adds it to a searchable library you can plan meals and shopping lists from.
