Frequently Asked Questions

Clip Recipe works with cooking videos from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, and also with links to recipe web pages such as blog posts. Videos can be up to one hour. Videos longer than ten minutes use available captions, descriptions and comments; visual-only instructions may be missed.

Not at all! The video can simply be a series of images showing someone making the recipe. Our models analyze three elements: audio, visuals, and text. So even if the video only shows the actions of someone cooking, without any audio, it will work. If there’s an overlay with instructions or an explanation, our models will take that into account too!

Yes, you can use it free for 7 days. Every Resident Chef subscription starts with a 7-day free trial, with unlimited extractions at no cost. After the trial it is $3.95 per month or $39.50 per year. You add a card when you sign up, and it is charged on day 7 unless you cancel first, in which case you pay nothing. The free trial is one per account: if you have subscribed before, a new subscription starts billing immediately. In the Clip Recipe app for ChatGPT, an account with no plan gets 5 free recipe extractions a month. Master Chef is a one-time $149 purchase with lifetime access and has no trial.

Clip Recipe extracts comprehensive recipe details including step-by-step directions, ingredients list, portion size, cooking duration, required equipment, and helpful tips.

Clip Recipe extracts each distinct dish with its own ingredients and steps. In My Recipes, dishes from the same video are grouped into a deck; use the arrows inside the card to switch between them. You can edit, share or export each dish separately. Multiple recipes from one video count as one extraction and are included in every extraction plan. The video must be public, no longer than one hour, and contain enough information to make each dish. For videos over ten minutes, only available captions, descriptions and comments are used. Components of one dish, such as a sauce and filling, stay together.

Yes, with our paid plans you can easily adjust portion sizes, and our system will automatically recalculate ingredient quantities accordingly.

We have premium plans with subscriptions and with one-time purchases. Resident Chef (unlimited recipes, subscription based) starts with a 7-day free trial. Nothing is charged until day 7, and if you cancel before then you pay nothing. Each account gets that free trial once, so a repeat subscription starts billing straight away. Master Chef (unlimited recipes, one-time purchase) is paid up front and has no trial. Once purchased, these recipes are available for life*.

Yes! Every plan lets you share your extracted recipes with friends.

There is no limit — every Clip Recipe plan includes unlimited recipe extractions, whether you subscribe monthly, annually, or buy lifetime access.

Our AI system is highly accurate in extracting recipe information, but we recommend reviewing the extracted content to ensure everything matches your needs and expectations.

If you exceed your purchased recipe limit, you can purchase a new plan at any time and your existing recipes will be preserved!
