# Create a Recipe from a Photo or Image

> Upload a photo of any recipe — a cookbook page, handwritten card, or screenshot — and Foryoueats converts it into a structured digital recipe using AI.

You can create recipes from physical sources without typing them out by hand. Foryoueats uses AI to read the image and convert it into a fully structured recipe with named fields for ingredients, steps, and more.

<Warning>
  AI extraction is accurate but not perfect. Always review the ingredients and steps before cooking from an imported recipe, especially quantities and measurements.
