Photo to Recipe
Upload a screenshot or a photo of a cookbook page. Culinary Card reads the image and gives you back a recipe with the ingredients and steps as real text: searchable, editable, and in the same place as the rest of your recipes.

Screenshots feel like saving a recipe. Then they end up between vacation photos and parking spots, and the one you want is never the one you can find. A screenshot can't be searched, and you can't fix the typo in step three. Upload it once and it becomes a recipe instead.
A recipe in an Instagram caption, a still from a cooking video, a recipe someone texted you. Upload the screenshot and the text in it becomes a recipe card.
Take a photo of the page you keep coming back to. The ingredients and steps come out as text you can search, edit, and print, and the book stays on the shelf.
The same import reads handwritten cards and notes. Faded ink and cramped margins are harder, so check the result before you save, but most cards come through cleanly.
Use the picture you uploaded as the card's main image, or have one generated. For a handwritten card, keeping the original is usually the point.
A screenshot sits in your camera roll and can't be searched. Once it is a recipe, search finds it by name, tag, or an ingredient you remember.
Title, ingredients, numbered steps, and timing are pulled out of the image in one pass. You fix anything it misread instead of typing the whole thing.
Take the photo or screenshot
Get the whole recipe in frame, with the text as sharp as you can. Good light helps more than a good camera.
Upload it
Add a recipe, choose the Image tab, and pick the picture. The AI reads it and separates the title, ingredients, steps, and timing.
Check it and save
Fix anything it misread, decide whether to keep your photo as the card image, and save. It is searchable from then on.
Yes. Choose the Image tab when you add a recipe and upload the screenshot. Culinary Card reads the text in the image and builds a recipe card with the title, ingredients, and steps separated out.
Screenshots, phone photos (including iPhone photos), and pictures of a cookbook or magazine page all work, as do handwritten recipe cards. The clearer the text, the better the result.
Each import reads one image. If you can fit both pages in one readable photo, do that. Otherwise import the first page, then type or paste the rest into the recipe when you edit it.
A photo import costs 2 credits, or 3 if you also generate a high-quality AI image for the card. You get 9 free credits when you sign up, with no credit card needed, so you can try a few before deciding.
Not links from those two, no. For Instagram or Facebook, take a screenshot of the post or copy the caption and paste it as text. TikTok and YouTube links can be imported directly.
9 free credits on signup. No credit card needed. Photo imports start at 2 credits.
