How it works

Turn cooking videos into recipe cards you can cook from.

Share a public cooking video from a supported app into ChaoFanCard, or paste its public link. We turn the useful cooking context into a saved recipe card with ingredients, amounts, steps, and source context.

Three simple steps

From public link to a card you can cook from.

Share from the apps you already use, let ChaoFanCard do the organizing, then cook from the card in your cookbook.

01Step 1

Find a public cooking video

Start with a public recipe video from RedNote, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook with spoken steps or on-screen text.

02Step 2

Share from the app you already use

Share a public cooking video directly from the video app into ChaoFanCard. If sharing is not available, copy the public link and paste it into the app.

03Step 3

Cook from your saved recipe

Your recipe card is saved to your cookbook with the ingredients and numbered steps ready for the kitchen. Make personal edits whenever you need.

The transformation

From a cooking video to a card in your cookbook.

ChaoFanCard follows the cooking in the video, reads the post and on-screen text, then organizes what it finds into a recipe card.

01
Start
In the videoFollows the cooking

ChaoFanCard follows what’s happening in the cooking video—the steps you see and what the cook says along the way.

02
On the postReads title, caption, and on-screen text

Ingredients, amounts, and instructions written on screen or in the post become part of building the card.

03
Into a cardOrganizes ingredients, amounts, and steps

Those details are brought together as a title, ingredients, amounts, tags, and numbered cooking steps.

04
Ready to cook
In your cookbookSaved and ready to cook from

Completed cards land in your cookbook so you can find them, organize them, and cook from them later.

Technology note: video and language models help follow the cooking and organize on-screen and caption details into a structured recipe card.

Supported sources

Works with public video links.

Bring public recipe posts and videos in from the places where you already discover food.

Videos, images, and text

Works with cooking videos, photo or carousel posts, and text-only recipe notes when the public link has enough cooking detail.

Videos

Follows the cooking in the clip, plus spoken and on-screen details.

Images

Reads recipe photos, ingredient cards, and written steps on stills.

Cookbook features

A recipe card built for the kitchen.

Bring the useful parts of recipe discovery into one place, then organize the cards you want to make again.

Ingredients and steps in one place

Open a saved recipe card with its hero image, ingredients, amounts, and numbered cooking steps ready for the kitchen.

Tags that keep dishes findable

ChaoFanCard creates tags that help group similar dishes, then lets you organize and filter your personal cookbook.

One post can become multiple cards

When a post contains more than one recipe, the import can turn the useful parts into separate recipe cards.

Keep the source close

Imported cards keep the source platform, recipe image, and original-recipe link available alongside the recipe when it is provided.

Little Chao says: “Bring the recipes you discover into a cookbook you can actually cook from.”
