Why convert Saffron recipes?
Saffron's plain-text share is great for sending a single recipe to a friend, but a folder full of .txt files isn't useful as a long-term backup. Other apps don't import bare text natively, and you can't easily print or organize them.
That's the gap this page closes. We parse the conventional Ingredients/Instructions structure back into proper fields, so the output works in any other recipe tool — and as a printable PDF.
Convert to JSON for re-import into another app, PDF for printing, Markdown for a personal cookbook, or .cook for any CookLang-compatible tool.
