Save Recipes from Instagram Reels, Posts & Stories
Stop screenshotting recipe posts. Just tap share on any Instagram recipe, send it to Pluck, and get the full recipe in seconds.
How it works
Tap share on Instagram
Find a recipe post, Reel, or Story on Instagram. Tap the share button and choose Pluck from the share menu. You never have to leave the app.
Pluck extracts the recipe
Our AI automatically reads the caption, image, and any recipe content from the post: ingredients, instructions, and cook times.
Review and save
Check the extracted recipe, make any edits, and save to your recipe box. Three taps from Instagram to your collection.
The manual way to save Instagram recipes
Screenshot the post and scroll through all carousel slides
Screenshots pile up in your camera roll with no way to search or organize them
Copy the caption text and paste it into a notes app
Captions are full of emojis, hashtags, and commentary - you have to manually extract the recipe
Re-watch Reels to transcribe spoken ingredients and steps
Pausing, rewinding, and typing while watching a 60-second video takes 10+ minutes
With Pluck, just tap share on Instagram and choose Pluck. You get a structured recipe in seconds without ever leaving the app.
Why use Pluck for Instagram?
No more screenshots
Stop filling your camera roll with recipe screenshots. Pluck saves the actual recipe with structured ingredients and instructions.
Works with captions, images, and videos
Instagram recipes live in captions, carousel slides, Reels, and video descriptions. Pluck reads, watches, and listens to all of these to extract the complete recipe.
AI reads what scrapers can't
Traditional web clippers fail on Instagram because there's no structured recipe data. Pluck's AI understands natural language recipes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be logged into Instagram?
No. Pluck fetches the recipe from the public URL. Private accounts won't work, but any public recipe post can be extracted.
Does it work with Instagram Reels?
Yes. Pluck extracts recipes from Reels by analyzing the video, audio, and caption. Even if the recipe is only spoken or shown on screen - not written in the caption - Pluck can extract it.
What about Instagram Stories?
Stories with shareable links can be processed. For temporary stories, take a screenshot and use Pluck's photo extraction feature instead.
How accurate is it?
Pluck shows a confidence score for every extraction. Instagram posts with clear, written recipes typically score high. You can always review and edit before saving.
Other ways to save Instagram recipes
Instagram Collections
Save posts to themed collections within Instagram for later browsing.
No recipe extraction - you still need to read captions and watch videos while cooking.
Screenshot + Notes app
Screenshot the post and manually copy the recipe into Apple Notes or Google Keep.
Time-consuming, unsearchable, and recipes get lost among other screenshots.
Browser recipe clippers
Extensions like Paprika or Recipe Keeper that clip recipes from web pages.
Don't work with Instagram - there's no structured recipe data for clippers to detect.
