Scale Any Recipe With the Recipe Converter & Multiplier
Paste your ingredient list, pick a multiplier, and optionally switch between US and metric units — no video needed, just the recipe you already have.

Scale by a preset (½x, 2x, 3x, 4x) or a custom multiplier, and optionally convert to US or metric.
Get the Converted List
See original and converted quantities side by side, ready to copy into your recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool really free?
Yes, completely free. No sign-up, no credit card. You can convert up to 5 recipes per hour.
How accurate are the conversions?
Scaling quantities by your multiplier is exact math. Unit-system conversions (US to metric or back) use standard ingredient-density approximations and are very close, but always double-check baking-sensitive recipes with a kitchen scale.
Can I convert a recipe without changing the quantity?
Yes — set the multiplier to 1 (or use the custom field) and just switch the unit system to convert US measurements to metric or vice versa.
What if some ingredients don't have exact quantities, like "salt to taste"?
Those lines are left as-is in both the original and converted columns since there's nothing to scale.
What's Vidcipe?
Vidcipe is the full app — it saves complete recipes (ingredients + steps + tips + nutrition) from any cooking video. This recipe converter is a free companion tool for recipes you already have written down.
