Why Pluck?
AI-Powered Accuracy
Not a simple web scraper. Pluck uses AI to understand recipes from any format, it watches videos, listens to narration, reads images, and parses blogs. It extracts ingredients, instructions, cook times, and more.
Your Personal Recipe Box
Search, filter, tag, and organize. Every recipe in one place, available offline. No more scattered screenshots or lost bookmarks.
AI Cooking Assistant
Stuck mid-cook? Ask Pluck's AI assistant for substitutions, scaling help, or technique tips. It knows your recipe and can help in real time.
Privacy First
Your recipes are yours. No ads, no data selling, no tracking without your consent. GDPR and CCPA compliant from day one. Learn more.
Five AI extraction modes
Most recipe apps just scrape web pages. Pluck uses five distinct AI modes to extract recipes from any source.
Video Frame Analysis
AI watches cooking videos frame by frame, identifying ingredients, quantities, and techniques shown on screen.
Audio Transcription
Listens to narration and spoken instructions, capturing recipes that are never written down.
On-Screen Text (OCR)
Reads text overlays, ingredient lists, and temperatures displayed in video frames.
Caption & Subtitle Parsing
Parses post captions, video descriptions, and subtitles as supplementary data sources.
Image & Photo Extraction
Reads recipe cards, cookbook pages, and handwritten notes. Snap a photo of a finished dish and Pluck generates a best-guess recipe from the image alone.

Why does Pluck cost anything when other apps are free? Fair question. Most recipe apps scrape web pages, which is basically free to run. Pluck watches videos, listens to audio, reads images, and parses captions using five AI extraction modes. That AI processing costs real money per recipe - but we think it's worth it. Try the free tier and decide for yourself.

Can Pluck extract recipes from TikTok videos?
Yes! Share a TikTok directly to Pluck from the share menu, or paste the URL. Pluck's AI watches the video, listens to the audio, and reads the description to extract the full recipe. It works even when the recipe is only spoken or shown on screen. Learn more about TikTok recipe saving.
Can Pluck save recipes from Facebook?

Does Pluck work with food blogs and websites?
Absolutely. Pluck works with any URL that contains recipe content — food blogs, YouTube descriptions, news articles, and more. It even detects structured recipe data (JSON-LD) for extra accuracy. Learn more about web recipe extraction.
Can I save recipes from photos?
Yes. Take a photo of a recipe card, cookbook page, or handwritten recipe and upload it. Or snap a photo of a finished dish — Pluck identifies what it is and generates a best-guess recipe. Learn more about photo recipe extraction.
Is Pluck free?
Pluck is free with 3 recipe extractions per month and up to 10 saved recipes. Light ($2.99/mo) adds 10 extractions and the AI cooking assistant.

Does Pluck work offline?

What makes Pluck different from other recipe apps?

Plus, it includes a built-in AI cooking assistant for help with substitutions, scaling, and technique. See how Pluck compares to other recipe apps.
