What is the Instagram Recipe Converter?
Eggcellent is a multi-platform recipe extraction tool that works with cooking videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and recipe websites—turning video content into structured, printable recipes. Stop screenshotting Instagram Reels and scrolling through endless comments for recipes. Our Instagram Recipe Converter extracts ingredients and instructions from Reels, IGTV, and video posts—and formats everything into a clean, printable recipe. Just paste the URL and cook.
From a Instagram link to dinner on the table.
Three steps, usually under half a minute. The recipe lands in your cookbook, your grocery list, and your meal plan.
Copy the Instagram URL
Find any cooking video on Instagram and copy the URL.
We read the video
Our AI recipe extraction analyzes the Instagram video to pull ingredients and cooking instructions. Lightning-fast extraction.
Cook from a clean page
Receive a beautifully formatted recipe ready to save to your cookbook or export to PDF or Markdown.
Save it while you’re still watching.
One click on any Instagram video or recipe page grabs the recipe and files it in your cookbook. Everything syncs, so what you save at your desk is on your phone in the kitchen.
What Instagram content works best?
Not all Instagram cooking videos are created equal when it comes to recipe extraction.
Instagram Reels with captions
Cooking Reels where someone speaks the recipe aloud with captions enabled. Works great with popular food influencers and trending recipe content.
Videos with spoken recipes
Instagram cooking videos where the creator narrates the recipe while cooking. Our AI transcribes what they say and extracts complete recipes with measurements and steps.
Recipe in the post caption
Videos where creators include the full recipe with ingredients and instructions in the Instagram post caption. Perfect for detailed recipes that need exact measurements.
Recipe in comments
Many food creators post the full recipe in a pinned comment or first comment. Our AI checks the comments for complete recipes with ingredients and instructions.
Instagram Stories
Stories are temporary content that expires after 24 hours and cannot be accessed via URL. Save the recipe from Reels or permanent video posts instead.
Recipe shown only as text overlays without audio
Silent videos where the recipe is shown only as text overlays or ingredients displayed on screen without being spoken. Our system needs audio narration or captions to extract recipes.
