How Pluck solves this
Save the recipe image from WhatsApp
Download the recipe photo, screenshot, or forwarded image from your WhatsApp chat to your phone's camera roll.
Open it in Pluck
Open Pluck, select the image, and let the AI read the recipe — whether it's a photo of a recipe card, a screenshot of a text message, or a forwarded cookbook page.
Save the recipe properly
Review the extracted recipe with structured ingredients and instructions, then save it to your recipe box — organized, searchable, and permanent.
WhatsApp recipe chaos
Scroll back through months of chat history
"Your aunt shared that biryani recipe last Ramadan... or was it Eid?" Good luck scrolling through 10,000 messages to find it.
Find the forwarded image
The recipe was a photo of a yellowed index card, forwarded through 3 family groups. The image quality is terrible.
Try to read the recipe from the photo
Small text, bad lighting, handwriting you can barely read. You squint at your phone while trying to cook.
Star the message and hope you remember
WhatsApp starred messages are an unorganized list. You starred 300 messages — finding the recipe later is just as hard.
Why use Pluck?
Reads recipe photos and screenshots
Pluck's AI reads recipes from photos — handwritten cards, forwarded screenshots, cookbook photos, and even blurry images shared in family group chats.
Preserves family recipes
Those WhatsApp recipes from your grandmother, mother, or aunties? Pluck digitizes them into a permanent, searchable recipe box. No more lost family recipes.
Works with any image quality
WhatsApp compresses images heavily. Pluck's AI is trained to read recipes from low-quality photos, handwritten notes, and forwarded images that have been compressed multiple times.
