Forkr makes it incredibly easy to save recipes from Instagram posts, Reels, and Stories. Whether the recipe is in the caption, the post itself, or even mentioned in a video, Forkr's AI will extract all the details you need. Here's how to do it in just a few taps.
Open Instagram and Find Your Recipe
Browse Instagram and find a recipe post, Reel, or Story you'd like to save. When you're ready to save it, tap the Share button (the paper plane icon) located at the bottom right of the post.
Tap the Share button on any Instagram post or Reel
Select "Share to..."
In the share menu that appears, scroll through the options and tap Share to... (or "More" on some Android versions). This will open your device's share sheet with all available apps.

Tips for Best Results
- Caption Recipes Work Best: Forkr extracts recipes most accurately when they're written in the post caption.
- Video Recipes: For Reels and video posts, Forkr can extract recipes from on-screen text and audio narration.
- Check the Source: After extraction, you can always view the original Instagram post by tapping the source link in Forkr.
- Edit if Needed: If something doesn't look quite right, you can easily edit any part of the recipe in Forkr.
Recipe didn't extract correctly? Make sure the Instagram post actually contains recipe information in the caption or video. Some posts may just be photos without recipe details.
Forkr opens but nothing happens? Check that you have a stable internet connection and that Forkr has the necessary permissions enabled in your phone's settings.
