Fastest: use Share
You don't have to copy the link. Share the video or post straight to Zastillia: the app opens by itself and starts reading the recipe. It works on both iPhone and Android.
- 1
Tap Share
Under the Reel or post, tap the paper plane icon.
- 2
Open the system menu
In the bottom row of the menu, tap the share icon: a square with an upward arrow on iPhone, or three connected dots on Android.
- 3
Pick Zastillia
In the share menu, tap the Zastillia icon. The app opens and starts the import right away, with nothing to paste.

Don't see Zastillia in the menu?
iPhone
Scroll the row of apps all the way to the right and tap More.
Tap Edit in the top right corner.
Tap the green + next to Zastillia, then Done. From now on Zastillia stays in the row.
Android
Android lists every app that can take a link, so scroll down the menu: Zastillia is there. To keep it first, touch and hold its icon and choose Pin.
Or copy the link
- 1
Copy the link
Under the Reel or post, tap the Share icon (the paper plane) and choose Copy link.
- 2

In Zastillia, on the Recipes tab, tap ＋ and choose By link.
- 3
Paste the link
The copied link usually fills in by itself. If not, tap Paste from clipboard, then Recognize recipe.
- 4
Give it a minute
AI watches the video or looks at the photos, listens to the voiceover and reads the caption. You can close the screen: the recipe shows up in Recipes.
- 5
Check the recipe
Ingredients, steps and macros are filled in, and every field can be edited. Add it straight to your shopping list.
Tip: clear out your Saved folder
If you have hundreds of saved recipes on Instagram, move them into Zastillia one at a time while you plan your week. There they sit with ingredients, macros and categories instead of getting lost among other posts.
What you get
- a recipe from a Reel, a regular post or a multi-photo carousel;
- ingredients with amounts and the steps in order;
- calories, protein, fat and carbs per serving;
- rescaling to the number of servings you need;
- a link back to the creator's original post.
Good to know
- You need a link to a specific post or Reel. A profile link won't work.
- AI cannot open posts from private accounts.
- If a carousel holds several recipes, Zastillia saves one, the main one.
- When the creator writes "recipe in the comments" and the post itself has none, the result can be incomplete. Copy the recipe text and use Paste text instead.
