How to save recipes from any website

Found a recipe on a food blog, a newspaper site, or anywhere else on the web? Paste the link into Prepful and it pulls out the ingredients, steps, and nutrition automatically, no account on that site and no copying anything by hand.

Paste the link

Works on desktop or mobile, for any standard recipe page.

  1. Copy the recipe's link from your browser's address bar.

  2. Open Prepful, then go to Recipes > Add > Import Recipe.

  3. Paste the link and tap Import Recipe.

  4. Review the recipe Prepful pulled out, then save it to your library.

Why this works on almost any recipe site

Most recipe blogs and publisher sites mark up their ingredients, steps, and nutrition in a standard, machine-readable format behind the scenes, the same format Google uses to show recipe cards in search results. Prepful reads that same structure directly, so it isn't guessing at the text on the page, it's pulling the recipe's own data.

If it doesn't work

A few things stop an import: the page sits behind a login or paywall, the recipe is embedded as an image with no underlying text, or the site simply doesn't publish its recipe data in a structured format. If a link fails, try the site's print or "jump to recipe" view, it's usually the cleanest version for import. Got the recipe from TikTok or Instagram instead? See saving from TikTok or saving from Instagram.
