Scale Any Recipe to Any Serving Count

Scale any recipe to any serving count. Paste text or snap a cookbook photo — quantities re-portion with kitchen-real rounding, units flip metric/US, missing ingredients get swaps.

1
Get the recipe in
Paste the text, drop a screenshot, or take a photo of the cookbook page. Ingredient lines are detected automatically.
2
Set the servings
Tell it what the recipe serves and what you need — or use the half/double buttons. Every amount re-portions with sensible rounding.
3
Adapt and take it to the kitchen
Flip units between metric and US, check the swap for any ingredient you're missing, then copy the scaled recipe card or print it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the rounding work?

Like a cook, not a calculator. Cups and spoons round to eighths, eggs round to whole eggs, metric grams round to sensible figures. Scaling a 4-serving recipe to 6 gives you "1 ½ cups", never "1.4999 cups".

What can it substitute?

The built-in table covers the classic baking and cooking swaps — buttermilk, eggs, brown sugar, cake flour, baking powder, heavy cream, fresh herbs, wine, and about twenty more. Tap the swap icon next to a matched ingredient to see the ratio.

Does the photo import work on handwriting?

Printed cookbook pages and screenshots work well. Handwriting is hit-or-miss — paste the text instead when you can.

Can it scale by pan size?

Not yet — serving count and direct multipliers only. Pan-area scaling is on the list.
