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 TikTok 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.
⚠️ Troubleshooting

Recipe didn't extract correctly? Make sure the TikTok 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.
