Switch from ReciMe to Pluck
ReciMe is a popular recipe manager with a large user base and solid text extraction. But if you've been wishing it could handle cooking videos, understand recipe photos, or give you an AI assistant while you cook - Pluck is the upgrade you've been looking for. Here's how to bring your recipes along.
How to export your ReciMe recipes
Open ReciMe on your device
Launch the ReciMe app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Make sure you're signed in to the account that holds your recipe collection.
Go to account settings
Navigate to Settings → Account in the ReciMe app. Look for the export or data management option.
Export your recipes
Tap Export Recipes and choose your preferred format. ReciMe typically offers JSON or text export. Select all recipes or choose specific collections to export.
Import into Pluck
Pluck's importer reads Paprika, Mela, Crouton, CopyMeThat and JSON-LD files today; ReciMe's own export format is not one of them yet. If your export is JSON-LD, open Settings → Import Recipes, choose JSON-LD and load it. If it is not, share each recipe's original link to Pluck instead - the AI re-extracts it, notes and tags included.
Import to Pluck - available now
Import is live in Pluck for Paprika, Mela, Crouton, CopyMeThat and JSON-LD files. ReciMe's own format is not supported yet, so a JSON-LD export loads straight in and anything else is fastest re-extracted from the original links.
Why people switch from ReciMe
Video recipe extraction that actually works
ReciMe's AI handles text-based recipes well but struggles with cooking videos. Pluck's multi-modal AI watches video frames, transcribes audio narration, and reads on-screen text to extract complete recipes from any cooking video - TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, and more.
Photo and image extraction
Have a photo of a recipe card, a cookbook page, or a screenshot from a friend? Pluck's AI vision reads recipe content from images, handwriting included. ReciMe doesn't offer image-based extraction.
AI cooking assistant
Pluck includes an AI assistant that answers cooking questions about any recipe in your collection. Ask about substitutions, scaling, techniques, or timing - right from the recipe screen. ReciMe doesn't include this capability.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my ReciMe recipes into Pluck?
Pluck imports Paprika, Mela, Crouton, CopyMeThat and JSON-LD files today, and ReciMe's own format is not on that list yet - a JSON-LD export loads straight in, anything else is fastest re-extracted from the original links. Either way, start here: download Pluck on Android or download Pluck on iOS.
How does Pluck's AI compare to ReciMe's?
ReciMe has strong text extraction from web pages. Pluck goes further with multi-modal AI that handles video (frame analysis + audio transcription), images (OCR + AI vision), and social media posts. See our detailed comparison.
Will my recipe categories and tags transfer?
Yes, for every format Pluck imports: tags, notes and source URLs all come across, and an export's categories are mapped to Pluck's flexible tagging system. Recipes you re-extract from their original links get tags derived from the recipe itself.
Does Pluck work on both iOS and Android?
Yes. Pluck is available on iOS and Android with full feature parity. Your recipes sync across all your devices.
What does Pluck cost?
Pluck has a free tier (3 extractions/month, 10 recipes), Light at $2.99/mo (10 extractions, AI cooking assistant), Plus at $6.99/mo (50 extractions, 100 AI messages, 500 recipes), and Pro at $11.99/mo (200 extractions, 300 AI messages, unlimited recipes). Annual plans save up to 37%.
