RecetteClic

How to save Facebook recipes

To save a recipe from Facebook, open the video, Reel or post, tap Share, then pick RecetteClic in your phone's share sheet: AI pulls out the ingredients, quantities and steps, even when the recipe is only spoken, and adds it to your recipe book in about a minute. Facebook is full of family recipes, cooking pages and food groups, and it is also where recipes get lost fastest: buried in Saved items you never reopen, or gone when a post drops out of your feed. Here are the manual options, the automatic one, and what works with private groups.

  1. 1/5

    Open the recipe on Facebook

    Bring up the video, Reel or post with the recipe, in the Facebook app or in your browser. No need to watch to the end: the AI analyzes the whole video on its side.

  2. 2/5

    Tap Share

    The button sits under the post, or on the right of a Reel. Facebook shows its own options first: choose the one that opens your phone's share sheet (its label varies between app versions), or Copy link.

  3. 3/5

    Choose RecetteClic

    Select RecetteClic in the list of apps. If the icon is not visible yet, tap More to enable it once and for all. If you copied the link, open RecetteClic and paste it: the import works the same way.

  4. 4/5

    Let the AI structure the recipe

    RecetteClic transcribes the voice, reads the text shown on screen and the post's description, then puts the recipe together: ingredients, quantities, steps, cooking times. Allow about a minute.

  5. 5/5

    Review it: the recipe is in your book

    Read through the suggested recipe, fix a detail if needed, then confirm. It stays in your recipe book, searchable by name or ingredient, even if the post disappears from Facebook.

The manual options: Saved items, screenshots and copy-paste

Facebook can already keep a post for later, and those tools help. Their shared limit: they keep a post, not a recipe you can follow while cooking.

Facebook's Save button

A post's "…" menu lets you save it: it goes to your Saved items, which you can sort into collections. It's free and instant. But nothing there is searchable by ingredient, the quantities stay in the video you have to reopen every time, and if the author deletes the post, the saved item leads nowhere.

Screenshots and notes

Screenshotting the ingredient list, or copying the recipe into Notes, works when everything is written down. On Facebook it's often the opposite: the recipe is spoken in the video, split between the post and the comments, or shown on screen for a few seconds. You end up transcribing it by hand, recipe after recipe.

The automatic way: share to RecetteClic

RecetteClic starts from the gesture you already make: sharing. You send the video, Reel or post to the app, and the AI rebuilds the recipe from everything available: the cook's voice, text overlaid on screen, the post's description, or the text in a recipe photo.

Here is what you get:

  • The name of the dish and a short description
  • The ingredient list with quantities, even when they are only spoken
  • The preparation steps, in order
  • Cooking times, turned into timers
  • Servings and total time

You read it, fix what needs fixing, and confirm. The recipe is stored as text in your recipe book: it no longer depends on the original post, you can find it by ingredient, and cook mode shows it step by step, screen on, the day you make it.

Your Facebook recipes, finally in a real recipe book

Download RecetteClic for free and try it with 5 free imports: share a Facebook video or Reel, and the AI turns it into a structured recipe in your book.

Facebook-specific cases

The recipe comes from a private group

A post in a private group, or shared with a restricted audience, can only be read by members who are signed in. RecetteClic never asks for your Facebook login, so it cannot open it, and the import tells you so. The workaround: take a screenshot of the recipe (one per part if it is long) and import it as a photo in RecetteClic, which reads the text in images.

The ingredients are in the comments

On cooking pages, the ingredient list is often posted as a comment under the video. The AI reads the video and its description, not the comments. Import the video, then complete the ingredients from the comment when you review the recipe. If the whole recipe fits in the comment, a screenshot imported as a photo is enough.

The video strings several recipes together

For a "three snack ideas" video or a page's compilation, RecetteClic first spots the recipes in it and lets you pick the one to import. Repeat for each.

The bottom line

Facebook's Saved items keep posts; a recipe book keeps recipes. Sharing to RecetteClic turns a public video, Reel or post into a structured, lasting recipe in about a minute. For a private group, a screenshot imported as a photo takes over.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import a recipe from a Facebook group?

Yes, if the post is public. If the group is private, or the post is limited to certain people, Facebook requires you to be signed in to see it, and RecetteClic does not ask for your login. Take a screenshot of the recipe and import it as a photo instead.

Do I need to connect my Facebook account to RecetteClic?

No. RecetteClic only needs the link to the post, shared from Facebook or pasted into the app. It never signs in to your account.

Is it free?

The app is free to download and includes 5 free imports so you can try it with your own recipes. After that, the subscription costs €3.99 per month or €29.99 per year, with a 14-day free trial on the paid plan.

What happens if the post is deleted?

Your recipe is kept: RecetteClic stores the extracted content (ingredients, quantities, steps) in your recipe book, independently of the original post.

Does RecetteClic work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. RecetteClic is available on iPhone, iPad and Android, and sharing from Facebook goes through the system share sheet on both.
