Recognizing a recipe from a photo

The "Recognize from photo" button in the builder is visible before the recipe is saved for the first time. Upload 1 to 3 photos — a screenshot of a recipe from another site, a photo of a page from a cookbook, a photo of a handwritten recipe — and the AI extracts the title, ingredients with quantities, cooking steps and category, creating a draft that just needs a quick check before publishing. The AI balance is charged for the act of processing the photo itself — regardless of the outcome. If the photo turns out not to contain a recipe, or the AI couldn't make out a single usable ingredient, you're still charged: the request genuinely went to the AI model and spent tokens, the result just wasn't useful. Only a genuine technical failure — when no response comes back from the AI at all — is free. Available on the Pro plan, charges the AI balance based on actual usage (see "AI balance: topping up and what it's spent on" for details).
