How do I save Instagram Reels recipes?

Open the Instagram Reel with the recipe, tap "Share" and copy the link. Then open RealRecipe, tap + and paste the link. The AI processes the reel and automatically extracts all recipe information. The whole process takes less than a minute.

Is there an app that extracts recipes from videos?

Yes — RealRecipe was built specifically for this purpose. The app uses AI to automatically create structured recipes from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube videos. You get a complete ingredient list with quantities and numbered preparation steps — all as text that you can also access offline.
