Free recipe extractor and parser
Cut Recipe is a free online recipe extractor and parser. Paste any link and get just the ingredients and steps — no life story, no ads, no autoplay video. It also works as a recipe parser for raw text: paste a TikTok caption or any block of recipe text and we'll structure it instantly.
Extract recipes from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & more
