Officially listedAn AI cooking assistant that converts recipe videos from five platforms into structured text.
Clip Recipe
Clip Recipe is an AI cooking assistant from indie developer Francisco Macedo that converts cooking videos on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest into structured text recipes in one click. It is designed for home cooks who save great recipes only to let them gather dust, then scrub through the video again and again when actually cooking — turning short videos into truly executable recipes.
Core capabilities
- Multi-platform video extraction: paste a video link from any of the five platforms and the AI generates a structured recipe card in seconds
- Multimodal AI engine: analyzes audio, visuals, and on-screen text simultaneously, extracting recipes even from videos without spoken narration
- Any-link support: beyond videos, also handles carousel posts, Pinterest pins, and recipe blog articles
- Structured output: ingredient lists, step-by-step instructions, cooking times, servings, and practical tips all included
- Serving scaling and editing: paid plans rescale ingredients by headcount automatically, and you can edit titles/ingredients/steps and revert
- Free recipe database: 88,004 real video recipes free to browse, organized by 12 meal types × 25 cuisines
Use cases Heavy short-video recipe users, busy families and meal preppers, food bloggers (video to blog copy), and visual learners. Three steps to start: copy the link, paste, extract. Those needing a meal-planning/shopping-list ecosystem or a native app should look elsewhere.
Unique advantages Against rivals like ReciMe and Pestle, Clip Recipe has the broadest platform coverage plus any-link support, and its multimodal extraction (audio + visuals + on-screen text) is advanced for the category; the 88,000+ free recipe database forms a content moat. $3.29/month billed annually is a category low price, with a $149 lifetime buyout for subscription-averse users.
Editorial verdict Rated "best for video recipe extraction" by theaisurf; hands-on testing found extraction fast and output clean — it has been called "cheat code for the kitchen". But the indie developer is tiny (43 subscribers), accuracy depends on source video quality, and there is no app/API — better as an auxiliary tool than a core dependency. The free tier's 2 extractions per week are enough to evaluate it fully.

FAQ
Is Clip Recipe free?
Yes, freemium. The free tier allows 2 recipe extractions per week but cannot save, edit, or export; paid tiers are the Resident Chef subscription at $3.29/month ($39.50/year) and the Master Chef lifetime version at $149 one-time.
What is Clip Recipe used for?
Converts cooking videos from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest into structured text recipes in one click, outputting ingredient lists, step-by-step instructions, cooking times, and practical tips, with serving scaling, editing, saving, export, and multilingual translation.
Which video platforms does Clip Recipe support?
Five major platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest — paste the link to extract; the summer 2026 new version also supports carousel posts, Pinterest pins, and recipe blog articles, i.e., any link.
Can Clip Recipe extract videos without voice narration?
Yes. Its multimodal AI engine analyzes audio, visuals, and on-screen text simultaneously; even if a video has only cooking footage and no spoken explanation, the recipe can be extracted from the visuals and on-screen text.
What is Clip Recipe's video length limit?
Per the official site, videos up to 5 minutes. Longer YouTube recipe tutorials may exceed the limit — short-video platform recipes are recommended first.
How does Clip Recipe differ from ReciMe?
ReciMe has 10M+ downloads and is iOS-focused; Clip Recipe is a pure web tool but covers more platforms (five plus any link), supports multimodal extraction, and offers an 88,000+ free recipe database plus a $149 lifetime buyout option.
Is Clip Recipe suitable for food bloggers?
Yes. Bloggers can quickly transcribe viral video recipes into blog/website text content, with export to PDF, plain text, Notion, and Evernote — a content production accelerator (remember to credit the original source).
