Published: 2026-02-06 · Last updated: 2026-02-06

Have a photo of a recipe? Whether it's a screenshot, a photo of a cookbook page, or even a picture of a handwritten recipe card, Honeydew can turn it into a neatly organized digital recipe.

## Share a photo from your camera roll

1

**Open the Photos app**

Find the recipe photo or screenshot in your camera roll.

2

**Tap the share button**

Tap the share icon in the bottom-left corner of the photo.

3

**Select Honeydew**

Tap the Honeydew icon in the share sheet.

4

**AI reads the image**

Honeydew's AI scans the image, reads any text it finds, and converts it into a structured recipe with ingredients and steps.

5

**Review and save**

Check the extracted recipe and make any edits if needed, then tap save.

## Use the in-app camera

You can also capture a recipe photo directly from within Honeydew. Open the app, tap the add button, and select the camera option. Point your camera at the recipe and take a photo. Honeydew will process the image immediately.

## What types of images work?

*   Screenshots of recipes from websites or apps.
*   Photos of printed cookbook pages.
*   Pictures of handwritten recipe cards or notes.
*   Images shared by friends or family via text or email.

For the best results, make sure the text in the photo is clear and well-lit. Avoid blurry or heavily angled shots. Honeydew's AI handles most images well, but sharp, straight-on photos produce the most accurate recipes.
