Common Questions

Does it work with private Facebook groups?

Yes! As long as you can view the post, you can import it to Recipe Notes. This works with both public posts and posts from groups you're a member of.

Can I import recipes from other platforms too?

Absolutely! Recipe Notes also works with Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, and over 1000 cooking websites. One app for all your recipe sources.

Is there a limit to how many recipes I can import?

Your recipe library is unlimited, and the free plan includes 20 social imports a week (up to 5 a day) from Facebook and other social sources, plus 30 web imports a week. Typing in recipes by hand is always unlimited, and Pro removes the import limits.

What if the recipe is just in a photo or video?

Recipe Notes uses AI to extract recipe information from text in images. If it doesn't work automatically, you can manually enter the recipe using "From Text" or "From Scratch" methods.
