How to Export and Convert Your Pepperplate Recipes

A few steps to get your recipes into formats you own.

1

Export from your Pepperplate account

Log into Pepperplate and download your recipes using the export option.

  • Log into your Pepperplate account at pepperplate.com
  • Find the export option in your account or settings area
  • Download your recipes as HTML or text files (sometimes packaged as a ZIP)
Tip: Already have an export file saved? Skip straight to step 2.
2

Upload your export file

Drag and drop or browse to select your Pepperplate export file above.

  • We accept .html, .htm, .txt, and .zip files
  • Files up to 200MB are supported
  • You can upload multiple files at once
3

Choose your output format

After processing, download your recipes in any format you need.

  • PDF recipe cards for printing or sharing
  • JSON (Schema.org) for importing into other apps
  • CSV for spreadsheets and databases
  • Markdown for notes apps and personal wikis
Tip: You can download in multiple formats. All are included free.

Don't have your export yet?

You can export your recipes from your Pepperplate account at any time — log in, find the export option, download the file, and upload it here. We'll convert it to PDF, JSON, CSV, Markdown, or other open formats.

Your recipes are yours — keep them that way

Apps change pricing, terms, and features. Open-format copies protect your collection regardless of what any one service does next.

Apps change the deal

Pricing, paywalls, and platform decisions can change without notice. A paywall can lock you out just as effectively as a shutdown. Open-format copies mean the terms don't matter.

Shutdowns do happen

Ziplist shut down in December 2014 with limited notice, and users who hadn't exported lost years of saved recipes. Any service could follow the same path.

Own your data

Convert your exports to open formats like PDF, JSON, or Markdown. Files you control, on your devices, with no expiration date.

Export today, not later

Regular exports take minutes and protect years of collected recipes. Once an app changes or closes, you're on someone else's timeline.

Your recipes should move with you

Keep them for yourself, or take them wherever you go next.

Keep forever

PDFs, printouts, your own archive. Your recipes in formats that never expire.

Move to any app

Standard formats any recipe app can import. Switch apps without starting over.

Future-proof

Apps come and go, but your recipes stay yours forever.
