Frequently asked questions

Copy the page's URL, paste it into RecipePrinter, check the card or page it makes, and print. Any recipe site, food blog, or supported social post works, and you can choose Save as PDF in the print dialog instead of sending it to paper. If a site doesn't import cleanly, paste the recipe text or upload a screenshot.

Yes. Paste the link to the post and RecipePrinter reads the recipe out of it. When the recipe lives in a caption or a comment rather than on a page the post links to, paste that text or upload a screenshot.

Yes. Upload a screenshot, cookbook page, old recipe card, or saved image and RecipePrinter will read the recipe and format it into a printable version.

Yes. If you have a recipe from a text message, email, document, or website that doesn't import cleanly, paste the recipe text directly and RecipePrinter will structure it into a printable recipe card or page.

Yes. Every recipe is formatted as a print-ready page, so you can print it on paper or choose Save as PDF in your browser's print dialog to keep a clean recipe PDF on your device.

Yes. Paste a recipe link, upload a screenshot or photo, or paste recipe text, and it becomes a printable recipe card. A full page prints free. The 4×6 size is RecipePrinter Pro.

Yes. RecipePrinter makes full-page recipes for free, 4×6 recipe cards with Pro, and PDFs that work well for binders, folders, recipe boxes, and family collections.

Yes. Add your recipes to a cookbook, sort them into chapters, and choose a cover. RecipePrinter builds the table of contents and page numbers for you. Then print it at home on US Letter or send the file to Lulu or Blurb for a hardcover or spiral bound cookbook.

Yes. RecipePrinter keeps the recipe itself and leaves off ads, pop-ups, autoplay videos, comments, oversized photos, and other web page clutter when creating the printable version.

A full page for a binder, free, or a 4×6 card for a recipe box with RecipePrinter Pro. A recipe too long for one side continues on the back when Two-sided is on. On a 4×6 card, cut lines give you a trim guide for card stock.

Yes. The title, the ingredients and the steps are all editable on the card itself. Correct an amount, cut a step you don't need, or reword a line to say what you actually do.

Yes. A theme changes a card's type, its border and how the photo sits, without touching the recipe underneath. Switch themes and every card in the batch follows. Two themes are free; every other theme comes with RecipePrinter Pro, along with 4×6 card printing itself.

Yes, with RecipePrinter Pro. Add as many as you like to the print queue and send them all in one job, which is what most people do for a recipe binder, a week of dinners, or a family cookbook. Printing one recipe at a time is free, no account needed.

No. RecipePrinter runs in the browser you're already using, on a phone or a computer. There's no app to download, no plugin, and no extension.

No. Paste a recipe, print it, and save it as a PDF without signing in. An account is only for keeping projects and cookbooks you want to come back to later.

Only if you choose to save them. Used without an account, your print queue lives in your browser for the current session only and is never stored on our servers. If you sign in and save recipes or build a cookbook, it is stored in your account so you can reopen it from any device.

Yes. You get 10 free recipe imports every 30 days, with no account required, and you can edit and print full-page recipes, one at a time, with two free themes, as often as you like. RecipePrinter Pro is optional: it adds unlimited link and text imports, up to 50 photo imports an hour, 4×6 recipe cards, every theme, Customize theme, and printing several recipes at once for $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Making a cookbook? You can preview it free with up to 10 recipes; $19.99 per cookbook, paid once, lets you download or print it and add more recipes.

Printed recipes don't lock, dim, run out of battery, disappear under notifications, or make you scroll with messy hands. They're also easier to mark up, and easier to hand on: a copy goes to a friend who asked for it, or into a box your kids take with them, without an account or an app on either end.

No, and that's deliberate. RecipePrinter isn't a recipe discovery app, meal planner, grocery app, nutrition tracker, or social network. It's built for what happens after you've already found a recipe worth making again.

CookPilot helps make recipes work for real life with substitutions, notes, adjustments, and cooking tools. RecipePrinter solves a simpler problem: getting recipes off the screen and into your kitchen. You can use RecipePrinter on its own or import recipes from CookPilot.
