How do I make a recipe card?
Go to the card maker, paste your recipe text (or snap a photo, or paste a URL), add your name, and hit Generate. Your card appears in seconds, ready to print on 4×6 cardstock or save as a PDF. No account needed to try it.
Is the recipe card maker free?
Yes. Guests can make 3 cards per day with no account. Sign in free with Google to get 10 cards per day and save your cards. Pro is $4.99/month for unlimited everything.
What size are the recipe cards?
All cards are formatted for standard 4×6 inch cardstock — the same size used in traditional recipe boxes. The layout includes a built-in safe margin so cards print perfectly on most home printers.
Can I make a recipe card from a photo?
Yes. Take a photo of a recipe from a cookbook, magazine, or handwritten card. Card My Recipe reads the image and builds a structured card from it. If the recipe spans multiple pages, you can add additional photos.
Can I import a recipe from a website?
Yes. Paste any recipe URL and Card My Recipe extracts the recipe automatically. It works with NYT Cooking, AllRecipes, Serious Eats, Bon Appétit, Food Network, and most other major recipe sites.
Can I print the recipe cards?
Yes. Every card is designed for printing on 4×6 cardstock. Hit Print or Save as PDF directly from the card view. The page includes printer settings guidance for Chrome, Safari, and Edge.
How do I create custom recipe cards?
Paste your recipe, choose a theme (Classic, Airy, Rustic, or Modern), and your card is generated with your chosen style. You can edit the title, ingredients, steps, and notes after generating. Add your name as the card author for a personal touch.
What makes this different from Canva or other card makers?
Canva and similar tools give you a blank template — you type everything yourself and manually format it. Card My Recipe reads your recipe and builds the card automatically. Ingredients are parsed, steps are numbered, and the layout adapts to the recipe length. It is a recipe tool, not a general design tool.
How is this different from JustTheRecipe or other recipe strippers?
Recipe strippers extract the text of a recipe from a blog post — removing ads, life stories, and clutter. Card My Recipe does that too, but then goes further: it formats the recipe into a beautiful, print-ready 4×6 card with structured ingredients, numbered steps, an illustrated header, and your name as the author. The result is a card you can print, share, or save — not just plain text on a screen.
