Import from TikTok (Android)

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

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 works through the video in layers, moving to the next one only if the previous didn’t give a complete recipe:

• Caption — the video’s written description
• TikTok subtitles — the platform’s own transcript, when turned on
• Photo-mode slides — text on the images, up to 10 slides
• The video itself — for videos up to 90 seconds, AI watches speech, on-screen text and what’s visibly done

Videos with full recipes written in the caption produce the best results. If the recipe came from subtitles, slides or the video, the preview shows a notice asking you to double-check amounts and step order.

Credit Usage

Each TikTok import uses 1 credit from your monthly pool, no matter how many layers Cookonut had to read. 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.
