Turn YouTube cooking videos into recipes
YouTube is full of incredible cooking tutorials, but following along while a chef talks for ten minutes is painful. MealClip reads the video and pulls out exactly what you need to cook: the ingredients, the amounts when the creator mentions them, and the steps in order.
Paste a standard YouTube URL, a Shorts link, or a youtu.be share link. We process the spoken instructions and on-screen recipe so you get a printable, shoppable recipe instead of a 12-minute video you have to scrub through.
- Works with full videos, Shorts, and youtu.be links
- Pulls ingredients and quantities from the narration and description
- Keeps the original video linked so you can still watch the technique
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a YouTube video to a recipe?
Copy the YouTube video URL, paste it into the box above, and press Get Recipe. MealClip reads the video and returns the ingredients and step-by-step instructions within seconds.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. YouTube Shorts links work the same way as full-length videos — just paste the Shorts URL.
Is the YouTube recipe converter free?
You can convert videos for free up to a daily limit. Creating an account and upgrading removes the limit and unlocks saving recipes to folders.
Do I need the recipe to be in the description?
No. MealClip extracts the recipe from what is said and shown in the video itself, so it works even when the creator never writes the recipe down.
