# Import a Recipe from Any Website URL

> Paste a URL from any recipe website and Foryoueats saves a clean, structured copy to your account automatically.

Foryoueats can import recipes from virtually any cooking website. Paste the URL, and the app scrapes the page and saves a permanent copy to your account — so you never lose a recipe if the original site goes down or changes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy the recipe URL">
    Open the recipe page in your browser and copy the full URL from the address bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the import dialog">
    In Foryoueats, click **Create Recipe** and select **Import from website URL**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste and import">
    Paste the URL into the field and click **Import**. Foryoueats fetches the recipe and structures it into your library within seconds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and save">
    Check the imported recipe for accuracy, make any edits you want, then click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You own your saved copy. Even if the original website removes the recipe or goes offline, your version stays in your account.
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The import failed or the recipe came in incomplete">
    Some websites block scrapers or structure their pages in unusual ways. Try copying the recipe text and using the **Start From Scratch** option instead, or take a screenshot and use **Create From Image**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The ingredients or steps look garbled">
    Use the recipe editor to clean up any formatting issues after import. Open the recipe page, tap the ellipsis icon in the top right, and select **Edit**.
