Question 1

How do I get the recipe from a YouTube video?

Accepted Answer

Copy the video's URL from your browser's address bar, or tap Share on mobile and choose "Copy Link" - for both regular videos and YouTube Shorts. Paste it into the box above and click "Extract Recipe".

Question 2

Isn't the recipe usually just in the video description?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes - and when it is, this tool will pick it up quickly. But plenty of cooking channels only mention exact quantities out loud in the video itself, which is exactly what this tool listens for.

Question 3

Does this work on YouTube Shorts?

Accepted Answer

Yes - Shorts are handled the same way as regular videos.

Question 4

Does this work on unlisted or private videos?

Accepted Answer

Unlisted videos work if you have the direct link. Private videos don't - YouTube blocks all outside access to those, regardless of the tool.
