Recipe Scaler

“This serves 4 and I'm cooking for 7.”

Paste a recipe in and get it back rewritten for the number of people you're actually feeding — in fractions you can measure, with the salt and spices handled properly, because doubling a stew and doubling the salt does not give you twice as nice.

  • Paste the ingredients straight off a website — 1 1/2, 1½ and 0.5 all work
  • Scale by servings, by multiplier, or by the tin you actually own
  • Salt, spice and raising agents held back, with the straight answer shown next to it
  • Half an egg turned into grams of beaten egg you can genuinely weigh out
  • Headings and instructions are left exactly as you typed them

How it works

Three steps, then you're done

Paste the ingredients

Copy and paste is fine. Messy lines are expected.

Say how much you want

Serves 8 but you need 20? Or the recipe wants a 9 inch tin and you own an 8?

Copy your version

One button copies the whole rewritten list.

Nothing you type ever leaves your computer. There is no account, no login and no server. Switch your wi-fi off and it still works — that's not a promise about our policy, it's just how the tool is built.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.

I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?

The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
