Recipe to video: your blog recipes as short cooking videos
Paste a recipe link from your food blog. tovid reads the ingredients, the steps and your photos and turns them into a narrated recipe video, no camera or kitchen reshoot needed.
What is recipe to video?
You already photographed the dish and wrote the method. Recipe to video turns that post into a short video for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Facebook, so the recipe reaches people who cook from their feed.
When your page publishes the recipe as structured recipe data (most WordPress recipe plugins do), tovid reads the ingredient list and each step exactly, along with your photos. The AI writes a friendly voice-over that walks through the dish scene by scene, with captions.
Some large recipe sites block automatic reading. If a link does not work, paste the recipe text in the "Content" box and the video follows it as written.
Why turn your recipes into video
Exact ingredients and steps
With recipe data on the page, amounts and steps come straight from your recipe, not from the AI's guess.
Your food photos
Your own photos lead each scene; add more from your uploads or stock photos if a step needs one.
A recipe a day
Connect your blog's RSS feed or sitemap and new recipes become videos at the times you set.
Readers back to your blog
Post each video with a link to the full recipe so viewers save it on your site.

Frequently asked questions
Which recipe pages work best?
Recipe posts that publish recipe data, which most WordPress recipe plugins add automatically. tovid then reads the ingredients and steps exactly. Other public recipe pages are read as normal articles.
A recipe site link did not work. Why?
Some large recipe sites block automatic reading. Paste the recipe text in the "Content" box and the video follows it.
Do I need to film anything?
No. The video is built from your recipe photos, captions and an AI voice-over. You can add more images in the studio.
Can my blog post a recipe video every day?
Yes, from the Starter plan. Connect your blog's RSS feed or sitemap as a content plan and new recipes, or older ones you pick, become videos at your posting times.
Can I make the video in another language?
Yes. Choose the video language; the ingredients and steps are narrated in that language.
Is tovid a recipe plugin or partner of any recipe site?
No. tovid is an independent tool, not a plugin, and is not affiliated with any recipe platform or plugin maker. It reads public recipe pages or text you paste.
