Convert your My Recipe Box export
My Recipe Box hands you a CSV with every recipe you've saved. We turn it into PDF, JSON, Markdown, or .cook so your collection works in whatever app you use next.
100% free. Open-source parsing. No account required.
What we support
Drop in the .csv from My Recipe Box's Export Recipes action.
One CSV with every recipe — title, description, ingredients, instructions, notes, nutrition, ratings, categories, tags, video links, source URLs, and photo URLs all carry through.

Why move recipes out of My Recipe Box?
My Recipe Box gets the basics right and the CSV export is generous — every important field is in there. But a CSV isn't something most other recipe apps natively read. If you switch to Paprika, Mela, Mealie, or anything else, your collection lands in spreadsheet form and stays there.
That's the gap this page closes. We translate the CSV into the formats every other app understands — preserving ingredients, instructions, nutrition, photos, source links, and even the video URLs My Recipe Box tracks separately.
Convert to JSON for re-import into another app, PDF for printing, Markdown for a personal cookbook, or .cook for any CookLang-compatible tool. Your collection, your choice of format.
