TikTok Recipe Extractor
Paste a TikTok link and get the recipe written out. Ingredients with amounts, numbered steps, and cook times, pulled from the caption when it is there and read out of the video when it is not.
How to get a recipe from a TikTok video
- Copy the TikTok link - Tap Share on the video, then Copy link. Any TikTok URL works, including short vm.tiktok.com links.
- Paste it in - Drop the link into the box above and press Extract. No account needed.
- Get the written recipe - Ingredients and steps come back as a clean recipe card you can read, print, or save.
When the recipe is not in the caption
Most TikTok cooking videos never write the recipe down. When the caption is thin, Recipe Extractor watches the video, transcribes the narration, and reads the on-screen text to work out the ingredients and amounts.
What you get back
- Ingredients split into amount, unit and name, so a shopping list builds itself.
- Steps in order, numbered, without the intro or the sales pitch.
- Servings and cook times when the video gives them.
- A recipe you can edit, because a video reader sometimes mishears an amount.
Questions
Does it work on TikTok photo slideshows?
Yes. Slideshow posts are read slide by slide along with the caption, which is often where the amounts are written.
Do I need a TikTok account?
No. You do not need a TikTok account, and you do not need a Recipe Extractor account either. Paste the link and go.
How long does a TikTok video take?
A caption with the recipe in it comes back in seconds. When the video has to be watched and transcribed it usually takes a minute or two.
What if an amount comes out wrong?
Open the recipe and edit it. Changes save to your own copy, so it is right the next time you cook it.
