How It Works
Social media import uses AI to analyze video content, captions, and descriptions to extract recipe information.
1
Platform Detection
Peel automatically detects which platform the video is from.
2
Content Extraction
We fetch captions, descriptions, and (for YouTube) transcripts.
3
AI Processing
Our AI reads the content and generates a structured recipe with ingredients and steps.
Tips for Best Results
Look for videos with captions
Videos with enabled captions or text overlays showing ingredients give much better results.
Check the description
Creators who list ingredients in the caption produce the most accurate imports.
Shorter videos work better
60-second TikToks have more focused recipe content than 30-minute vlogs.
Note: Peel cannot import from private accounts. The video must be publicly accessible.
