YouTube recipe importer
YouTube is excellent for watching technique, but less convenient when you just need the ingredient list. CookClip helps you save YouTube recipes from videos, Shorts, descriptions, and creator links by copying a URL or sharing directly, then reviewing the link before creating a recipe.
Free users can save up to 20 recipes and use 5 AI recipe imports.
Quick method
Use CookClip when you want to keep the recipe without replaying the video every time you cook. Paste the YouTube link or share it directly, review the detected URL, and save the clean recipe to your iPhone cookbook.
Method 1
Copy a recipe URL from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, a blog, or any recipe website.
Good for videos, Shorts, descriptions, pinned notes, and creator recipe pages.
Method 2
Open the recipe link in YouTube, Safari, or another app and send it straight to CookClip.
Save cooking ideas before they disappear into watch history or playlists.
YouTube descriptions vary by creator. CookClip works best when the video, description, transcript, linked page, or pasted notes include clear recipe information. You can review the URL and draft before saving.
Complete guide
A video is helpful for seeing texture, color, and technique. A recipe card is better for checking measurements, timers, oven temperatures, and shopping lists. CookClip helps you keep both: the original YouTube link and a clean recipe draft.
CookClip does not ask you to trust an unclear result. Review ingredients, steps, timings, and servings before saving the recipe to your library.
Get CookClip from the App Store, then import the YouTube link, creator recipe page, description, caption, or pasted ingredients.
CookClip helps separate recipe details into ingredients, steps, prep time, cook time, servings, and notes.
Add missing details, adjust quantities, write your own notes, or keep the original link for reference.
Use saved YouTube recipes for a weekly meal plan, grocery list, or step-by-step Cooking Mode.
YouTube recipe formats
YouTube recipes can live in the video description, a pinned comment, a linked blog, a Short caption, or notes you copied while watching. CookClip keeps the recipe-saving path flexible.
Paste the video link and review the recipe details available from the description, notes, or linked page.
Save quick cooking ideas from Shorts when the caption, creator link, or pasted notes include enough recipe detail.
Paste long creator descriptions into CookClip so ingredients and steps are easier to scan later.
If a creator links to a full recipe page, save that page for cleaner ingredients, steps, and notes.
