Import from TikTok (Android)

Articles in this section

TikTok is packed with recipe content, but saving a recipe from a short video normally means pausing, screenshotting, and retyping. With Cookonut on Android, you can capture a TikTok recipe in seconds using the share menu.

Step-by-step

Step 1

tap Share

Step 2

tap More

Step 3

tap Cookonut

Use the Android Share Menu

  1. Open the TikTok video with the recipe
  2. Tap the share arrow on the right side of the video
  3. In the Android share menu, select Cookonut from the app list
  4. Cookonut will open with the link ready — tap Import
  5. Wait while Cookonut’s AI analyzes the video content

If you don’t see Cookonut in the share menu, scroll through the available apps or check that Cookonut is installed and up to date.

What Gets Extracted

Cookonut analyzes the TikTok video’s available content to build a structured recipe:

  • Recipe title based on the video description
  • Ingredients mentioned in the video or caption
  • Steps from on-screen text or the description
  • A thumbnail image from the video

Videos with full recipes written in the caption produce the best results. On-screen text overlays also help Cookonut extract more detail.

Credit Usage

Each TikTok import uses 1 credit from your monthly pool. Free plan users get 10 credits per month; Premium users have unlimited imports.

Review Before Saving

TikTok recipes are often informal — creators might say “a splash of olive oil” without exact measurements. After import, review the recipe on the preview screen. Check that ingredients have quantities, steps are clear and in order, and add any missing details like prep time or servings. When everything looks good, tap Save.
