Paprika's built in web browser lets you easily search the internet for your favorite recipes and save recipes from many different websites.

Using the Browser

The upper toolbar contains a combined address bar and search bar, a reload/stop button, the button, and a menu with Share, to send the page's link to another app, and Open in Browser, to open the page in your default web browser. A thin progress bar underneath shows the page loading.

The lower toolbar displays buttons for standard browser actions and tools for saving recipes. In order from left to right, the buttons are: back, forward, show/hide clipboard tools, edit clipboard recipe, and Download.

Tap the address bar and type a URL to navigate to that page (ex: 101cookbooks.com), or type in a search term to perform a recipe search (ex: beet salad).

The button displays your current bookmarks. From there you can load a bookmark into the browser, edit a bookmark, and add new bookmarks to the list. Bookmarks sync with your other cloud data.

Clipping Recipes Online

Paprika supports clipping recipes from hundreds of different recipe sites. In order to clip a recipe:

1. Use the web browser to browse to a recipe you would like to save.
2. Press the Download button in the lower right corner of the toolbar.
3. Paprika will attempt to clip the recipe from the page and open the filled-in Edit Recipe form. Review the recipe fields, then press Save to add the recipe to your collection.
4. If Paprika cannot figure out how to clip the recipe, it will display an error message. You can then use the manual clipboard tools (described below) to clip the recipe manually.

Clipping Recipes from Social Media Premium

In addition to traditional recipe sites, Paprika can save recipes from social media posts, stories, and pages on sites such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Paprika reads the recipe from the text of the post, including its caption or description, so posts on other sites may work too.

The easiest way is to share the post straight from the app it's in: tap the post's Share button and choose Paprika 4. Paprika will read the post's text and extract the recipe into structured ingredients and directions, then open the filled-in recipe form for you to review and save — no browsing required.

You can also paste a post's link into the address bar of Paprika's browser and press Download.

Manually Saving Recipes Using the Clipboard Tools

If Paprika wasn't able to clip the recipe for you, or only partially clipped the recipe, you can use the clipboard tools at the bottom of the browser to manually copy/paste the recipe information from any website. Tap the show/hide clipboard tools button in the lower toolbar to reveal the clipboard tools row.

To use the clipboard tools:

1. First, find the name of the recipe on the website. Then tap and hold your finger over the name until the selection handles appear.
2. Drag the selection handles until the name is fully selected.
3. Tap the Name button in the clipboard tools row. The selected text will be copied into the Name field.
4. Repeat the same process with the Ingredients, Directions, and any other fields you would like to capture. You can scroll the row horizontally to reveal the extra fields: Name, Description, Ingredients, Directions, Prep Time, Cook Time, Total Time, Servings, Notes, and Nutrition.
5. To add an image, tap and hold your finger over the image, then select Add Photo to Recipe from the menu that appears. The photo appears in the photo well at the start of the clipboard tools row. The same menu also offers Copy Photo to Clipboard, and Save to Photo Library to save the image to your device.
6. When you've copied all the fields you would like to save, press Save to transfer all of your copied information into a new recipe.

Tips

• You can press the Reset button at the end of the clipboard tools row in order to clear your copied selections and try again.
• The field buttons highlight once they contain text. You can press any of the highlighted Name, Ingredients, Directions, etc buttons to reveal the existing text that you have copied into them. From there you can also freely make changes to the text.
• If text already exists in a field when you tap the button, the current selection will be appended to the existing text.
• The field buttons work with your selected text on the page, or — if nothing is selected — with text you have copied to the clipboard from any app.
• Once you have captured recipe data, the Download button changes to Save.

Saving Recipes from Other Apps

If you prefer to browse for recipes in another browser or app, you can use that app's Share button to send a recipe link to Paprika. Choose Paprika 4 from the Android share sheet, and the link will open in Paprika's browser, allowing you to Download the recipe as described above.
