Overview

CutRecipe is a free online recipe extractor and parser that lets users paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or one of over 40,000 recipe websites to instantly get just the ingredients and steps, stripping away ads, autoplay videos, cookie banners, and lengthy personal stories. It also accepts raw recipe text or TikTok captions and structures them into a clean recipe format. The service is entirely web-based, requires no account, and is free with no premium tier.

Full Description ▼

The extracted recipe is displayed on a clean page with large readable text, tickable ingredient checkboxes, and a keep-screen-on mode so the device doesn't go dark while cooking. Original authors are always credited with a link back to the source. In addition to link and text parsing, CutRecipe has a blog with cooking guides and plans to add a photo-to-recipe feature that identifies ingredients from a photo of a fridge or pantry and suggests recipes.
