Video2Recipe
Officially listedAn AI assistant that turns cooking videos into structured recipes for home cooks.
Video2Recipe
Launched in March 2023, Video2Recipe is an AI video-to-recipe tool officially positioned as turning any cooking video into your kitchen companion. Paste a YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook video link and the AI automatically transcribes and extracts ingredients and steps, outputting a structured, saveable, printable recipe card in about 10 seconds — built for home cooking enthusiasts too lazy to write recipes down by hand.
Core capabilities
- Video to recipe: paste a link and the AI transcribes the audio and extracts ingredients and steps into a structured recipe card
- Multi-platform support: the free tier is limited to YouTube; paid tiers cover YouTube/Instagram/TikTok/Facebook
- Works without subtitles: built-in ASR audio transcription extracts recipes even from videos with no subtitles or CC
- Multilingual detection: auto-detects the video language and outputs English, enabling cross-language recipe extraction
- AI variations: AI Recipe Variations generates one-click variants based on the original recipe to enrich daily menus
- REST API: an API open on every tier, making it easy for developers to integrate into their own products
Use cases Home cooks turning social recipe videos into printable text in one click; cross-language users extracting English recipes from non-English videos; small-budget food bloggers occasionally transcribing videos into blog content; developers integrating via the REST API. Not recommended for professional chefs (lacks nutrition and serving-size precision) or heavy mobile users (no app).
Unique strengths As one of the earliest players in this niche, Video2Recipe differentiates on an affordable $9/month price, four-platform coverage, and a REST API on all tiers; its subtitle-less video transcription is something most competitors lack. Against newer entrants like Eggcellent and Pluck it is simpler in features but stable and reliable in conversion.
Editorial verdict The core function is solid — about 10 seconds per conversion with zero learning curve — and third-party reviews generally endorse its ingredient-extraction accuracy (3.7/5). But operational transparency is low: no company entity disclosed, Twitter dormant since March 2023, export and favorites long marked coming soon, and overall project activity is low. Overall recommendation 3/5 — a reasonable entry-level or backup tool listing.

FAQ
Is Video2Recipe free?
It uses a freemium model. The free tier is $0/month with 3 recipe conversions (YouTube only, videos up to 10 minutes); paid tiers are Home Cook $9/month and Chef $29/month. You can trial 3 times free without signing up.
What are Video2Recipe's main features?
The core is auto-transcribing YouTube/Instagram/TikTok/Facebook cooking videos and extracting ingredients and steps into a structured recipe card in about 10 seconds; it also supports subtitle-less videos, multilingual detection, AI recipe variations, and a REST API on every tier.
Which video platforms does Video2Recipe support?
The free tier supports YouTube only; the Home Cook ($9/month) and Chef ($29/month) plans cover YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, with video length caps of 45 minutes and unlimited respectively.
Can Video2Recipe handle cooking videos without subtitles?
Yes. Video2Recipe has built-in automatic speech recognition (ASR), so it can transcribe the audio and extract recipes even when a video has no subtitles or CC — one of its core differentiators.
What is the relationship between Video2Recipe and the iOS Video to Recipe app?
Completely unrelated. The official Video2Recipe site is video2recipe.com only; the iOS App Store's Video to Recipe: AI Generator by developer Ali Akber is an independent same-named product — use the official site.
How does Video2Recipe differ from Eggcellent and Pluck?
Video2Recipe is a March 2023 early entrant that wins on affordability ($9/month), four-platform support, and a full-tier REST API; newer rivals like Eggcellent and Pluck are richer in mobile apps, nutrition info, and serving-size scaling, but cost more.
Is Video2Recipe suitable for professional chefs?
Not really. Its features are fairly basic: no nutrition information or serving-size scaling, and favorites and export have long been labeled coming soon without launching. Professional chefs or users needing deep recipe management should choose more fully featured competitors.
