How to save a recipe from TikTok

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. 1

   Tap Share

   Under the TikTok video, tap the Share arrow on the right.

   

2. 2

   Open the system menu

   In the row of apps at the bottom, scroll right and tap More (the three dots). Your phone's share menu opens.

   

3. 3

   Pick Zastillia

   In the share menu, tap the Zastillia icon. The app opens and starts the import right away, with nothing to paste.

   

   

Or copy the link

1. 1

   Copy the link

   Under the TikTok video, tap Share and choose Copy link. Short links like vm.tiktok.com work too.

2. 2

   Open Add recipe

   In Zastillia, on the Recipes tab, tap ＋ and choose By link.

   

3. 3

   Paste the link

   The copied link usually fills in by itself. If not, tap Paste from clipboard, then Recognize recipe.

   

4. 4

   Give it a minute

   AI opens the video, listens to the voice and reads the text on screen and under the video. You can close the screen: the recipe shows up in Recipes as soon as it is ready.

   

5. 5

   Check it and cook

   Open the recipe: ingredients, steps and macros are already there, and every field can be edited. From here it goes to your shopping list or your weekly plan.

   

What you get

• ingredients with amounts in grams, millilitres or pieces;
• steps with timers wherever the video mentions a time;
• frames from the video next to the steps;
• calories, protein, fat and carbs per serving;
• rescaling to any number of servings;
• a link back to the creator's original video.

Good to know

• AI cannot open videos from private accounts: the video has to be public.
• TikTok photo posts and carousels work too: the recipe is put together from the photos and the caption.
• If the video has no actual recipe, for example just the finished dish with no amounts, Zastillia says so or marks the recipe as needing a check.
• The recipe is written in the language your app is set to, even if the video is in another language.
