“Like many, I had recipes scattered across social media and beyond, making them forgotten. ReelsMeals solves that chaos: by bringing inspiration into one place, you can turn saved recipes into shared meals — and eat better, together.”
I used to sort through screenshots and vague bookmarks to cook something I saw once. It was so frustrating I just gave up and made the same thing again.
Now, I can finally pull up any saved recipe instantly, without having to watch a video trying to figure out the recipe. It's like I have my own personal cookbook.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about saving, scanning, and cooking with ReelsMeals.
- ReelsMeals is a digital recipe keeper designed to help you save recipes you find online, whether they're in Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, blog posts, or other websites. Instead of losing track of saved links or screenshots scattered across different platforms, ReelsMeals centralizes them into your own digital cookbook, making it easy to find and cook the meals you were excited about.
Saving recipes is simple!
- Copy the URL (link) of the recipe page, blog post, or social media video.
- Paste the URL directly into your ReelsMeals dashboard.
- ReelsMeals then attempts to extract the recipe details for you.
Yes! ReelsMeals now supports paper recipe scanning. You can:
- Take photos directly with your phone camera — great for recipes on paper, handwritten cards, or cookbook pages.
- Upload images from your device — drag and drop or select multiple photos.
- Multi-page support — scanning a recipe that spans multiple pages? Just add all the photos and our AI will combine them into one structured recipe.
The AI reads both printed and handwritten text, extracts ingredients with measurements, and organizes everything into a structured recipe card — just like it does with online recipes. Each scan uses one recipe credit.
You can access the scanner from the “Scan Recipe” tab on the homepage, or from the Add Recipe button on your dashboard.
- When you sign up for ReelsMeals, you get 3 free recipe save credits to try out the service. Each time you successfully save and extract a recipe using a URL, it uses one credit. This lets you experience how easy it is to build your online recipe collection. Once you've used your free credits, you can choose one of our paid plans (see pricing) to continue saving unlimited recipes.
- ReelsMeals is a web application. This means you access it through your internet browser (like Chrome, Safari, Firefox) on any device with an internet connection – your phone, tablet, or computer. You don't need to download it from an app store like some alternatives (e.g., Recime.app); just visit our website and log in.
We now offer PWA functionality: ReelsMeals can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) directly to your home screen from your browser. This gives you an app-like experience with faster loading times, without requiring an app store download.
Android users: When you install our PWA on Android devices (using Chrome), you can directly share links from other apps like Instagram, YouTube, or your browser to ReelsMeals. This makes saving recipes you discover even faster!
iOS users: While you can install ReelsMeals to your home screen through Safari's “Add to Home Screen” option, Apple does not currently support PWA share targets. This means you'll need to copy links and paste them into ReelsMeals manually on iOS devices. We're monitoring iOS PWA capabilities and will implement direct sharing if Apple adds support in the future.
ReelsMeals supports recipe extraction from:
- Over 350+ websites, blogs, and news sites
- Instagram Reels
- Facebook Reels
- Facebook Posts (text)
- YouTube Shorts
- TikTok Reels
New! You can now scan paper recipes by taking photos or uploading images — AI extracts the recipe just like it does from URLs.
Coming soon:
We are currently working on expanding our compatibility to include more platforms. If you have a specific website in mind that you'd like to see supported, please let us know at support@reelsmeals.com!
Unlike bookmarks that get lost and don't capture recipe details, ReelsMeals offers significant advantages:
- Centralized Organization: All your recipes — online and paper — in one searchable collection.
- Smart Extraction: We pull ingredients and steps automatically from URLs and photos, creating complete digital recipe cards.
- Paper Recipe Scanner: Digitize handwritten cards, cookbook pages, and printed recipes with your camera.
- Cross-Device Access: Use your recipes on any device through our web interface.
- Community Sharing: Discover recipes saved by other food enthusiasts in our growing community.
- Clutter-Free: Replace scattered bookmarks, screenshots, and paper scraps with a dedicated recipe library.
- Automatic recipe extraction from diverse online sources is complex. While ReelsMeals strives for accuracy, sometimes formatting issues on the source site might lead to imperfect results. We are continuously improving our extraction engine. You will be able to manually edit recipes in our Master Chef plan and we save the original link as well.
- We want you to be happy with ReelsMeals! We offer a 7-day refund policy from the date of your purchase. If you're not satisfied within the first week, please contact our support team to request a refund.
