Importing Recipes

MarinAid can import recipes from websites, social media posts, and even photos of handwritten recipe cards.

From a website URL

1. Copy the recipe URL from your browser.
2. Open MarinAid and tap the + button.
3. Tap Import from URL and paste the link.
4. MarinAid parses the page and extracts the recipe automatically.

From Safari or another app (Share Sheet)

1. While viewing a recipe in Safari, Instagram, TikTok, or any app, tap the Share button.
2. Select MarinAid from the share sheet.
3. The recipe is imported directly into your library.

Tip

If MarinAid doesn’t appear in your share sheet, scroll to the end and tap More, then enable MarinAid.

From a photo

1. Tap the + button and select Import from Photo.
2. Take a photo of a recipe card, cookbook page, or screenshot.
3. MarinAid uses on-device OCR to read the text and structure it as a recipe.

Supported sites

MarinAid supports thousands of recipe websites. It works best with sites that use structured recipe data (JSON-LD or Microdata). Most popular recipe blogs and cooking sites are supported.

After import

Review the imported recipe — you can edit the title, ingredients, instructions, servings, and more before saving.
