Importing from Screenshots, photos & closed apps, step by step

You'll need: images (.jpg, .png, .heic)

  1. 1

    Get your recipes out of Screenshots, photos & closed apps

    Use this for apps that closed or have no export (Clove, Osta, Recime, Pepperplate, MacGourmet, Living Cookbook), and for recipe cards or magazine pages.

  2. 2

    Open the recipe and screenshot the whole thing, scrolling for long recipes.

  3. 3

    Take a clear picture

    Screenshot the whole recipe on screen, or photograph a printed page or recipe card in good light, flat and in focus. Long recipes can take several pictures.

  4. 4

    Open Import → Screenshot

    Tap Import in the top menu, choose Screenshot and drop your pictures (or use Scan from your cookbook on your phone).

  5. 5

    Check and save

    We read the text and rebuild the recipe with ingredients and steps. Check it, fix anything we misread, then save it to a cookbook.

Good to know

  • Clear, well-lit, straight-on pictures read best.
