Getting Started
What is Drizzlelemons?
Drizzlelemons is a free, ad-free recipe converter web app. Paste any recipe URL and it extracts just the ingredients and instructions — no ads, popups, or life stories. It also adds AI-powered customization, serving scaling, and unit conversion.
How does Drizzlelemons work?

Is Drizzlelemons free?
Yes. You can use the recipe converter for free forever without an account — recipes just won't be saved to your personal cookbook.

Each conversion costs just 1 lemon, and once you run out you can top up for super cheap.

Comparisons
How is Drizzlelemons different from JustTheRecipe?
JustTheRecipe only extracts recipes from URLs. Drizzlelemons goes further with AI-powered customization, dietary adaptation (vegan, gluten-free, keto), serving scaling, unit conversion, recipe saving and organization, and ingredient-based recipe generation.
See the full comparisonIs Drizzlelemons better than using an ad blocker?
Ad blockers remove ads but don't restructure the page. You still get life stories, cluttered layouts, and no cooking tools. Drizzlelemons extracts just the recipe, adds serving scaling, unit conversion, and AI customization — a completely different experience.
How does it compare to browser reader mode?
Reader mode strips formatting but doesn't understand recipe structure. It can't separate ingredients from instructions, scale servings, convert units, or let you customize with AI. Drizzlelemons is purpose-built for recipes.
