Cookpad US Team -

Cookpad’s Recipe Import feature lets you easily save recipes from across the internet to your personal recipe library.

Key Features:

  • Cross-platform integration: Whether it's social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram), blogs, news websites, or other recipe platforms, as long as you have the URL, you can simply paste it in.
  • Automatic capture: Cookpad automatically detects the ingredients and steps, so you don’t have to enter them manually.
  • Permanent storage: Even if the original webpage or post disappears, your saved recipe will remain in your Cookpad library.

How to use:

There are two easy ways to import recipes:

1. Share directly from websites/social media platforms

  1. Tap Share on the webpage or social media post.
    ⚠️ The sharing function is designed differently for each platform. The screenshot below uses Instagram as an example.

  1. Copy the link to the recipe webpage or social media post.
  2. Open the Cookpad app and tap the "+" icon to add a new recipe.

The import process usually takes 1–2 minutes. We recommend enabling app notifications so you’ll be notified when the import is complete.

You can also import recipes in other languages. Cookpad will automatically translate imported recipes into English, making it easy to cook dishes from around the world.

All imported recipes will be saved in the “ Imported” folder in Your Recipe Collection for easy access.This feature helps you manage all your favorite recipes in the Cookpad app and keep them easy to access while cooking.

⚠️ Imported recipes can be "corrected", but they cannot be published publicly. They are for personal use only.
