How to save recipes from TikTok

TikTok recipes move fast: a video, a caption, maybe a comment with the full ingredient list, and then it's gone, buried under the next hundred videos you liked. Here's how to hold onto one.

Share directly from TikTok

The fastest way, ten seconds, no copying or pasting.

  1. Open the TikTok video with the recipe.

  2. Tap the Share arrow.

  3. Choose Prepful from the share sheet.

  4. Prepful pulls the ingredients and steps from the caption and video, ready to save or cook.

First time on iPhone? If Prepful isn't in your share sheet yet, tap More, then Edit, then tap the green + next to Prepful. On Android, Prepful is already listed there, no setup needed.

Paste the link

Works the same everywhere, including on desktop.

  1. Tap Share on the video, then Copy Link.

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

  3. Paste the link and tap Import Recipe.

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

Works for TikTok Photo Mode posts too, not just video.

If it doesn't work

A few things stop an import: the account is private, the video doesn't actually name ingredients or steps anywhere (just a finished-dish shot), or the video's been taken down. If a link fails, check that the account is public and the recipe is genuinely in the caption or video, not just implied.

Grab Prepful and save the next recipe you see instead of losing it.
