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 buttons for the standard browser actions — back, forward, and reload/stop — along with a combined address bar and search bar, the button, and the button.

Type a URL into the address bar to navigate to that page (ex: paprikaapp.com), or type in a search term to search the web. (ex: beet salad). If you've copied a link, right-click the address bar and choose Paste and Go to open it in one step.

The button offers Copy Link to copy the page's address, Email to email a link to the page, and Open in Browser to open the page in your default web browser.

Shortcut Press Ctrl-L (File -> Open Location) to quickly jump to the address bar from anywhere in the app.

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 other cloud data. Note The bookmark labeled Paprika Home displays instructions on how to download recipes from the browser and a list of favorite sites to get you started.

The lower toolbar displays tools for saving recipes — see the clipboard tools below.

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 recipe form for review. Press the Save button to save it.
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.

Shortcut Press Ctrl-S in the browser to trigger the Download button. Once any recipe data has been captured, the button relabels itself Save and saves the recipe directly.

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.

1. Navigate to the post in Paprika's browser (or paste the post's link into the address bar).
2. Press the Download button.
3. Paprika will read the post's text and extract the recipe into structured ingredients and directions. Review the result, then press Save.

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 toolbar at the bottom to manually copy/paste the recipe information from any website. The toolbar contains a photo well on the left, a button for each recipe field — Name, Description, Ingredients, Directions, Prep, Cook, Total, Servings, Notes, and Nutrition — and the pencil (edit), Reset, and Download buttons on the right.

To use the clipboard tools:

1. First, find the name of the recipe on the website.
2. Use your mouse to highlight the name.
3. Click the Name button in the clipboard toolbar. The selected text will be copied into the Name field, and the button will highlight to show the field is filled.
4. Repeat the same process with the Ingredients, Directions, and any other fields you would like to capture.
5. To save an image, right-click on it, then select Add Photo to Recipe from the popup that appears. The captured photo appears in the photo well on the left side of the toolbar. The same menu also lets you choose Copy Photo to Clipboard or Save Photo to save the image to disk.
6. When you've copied all the fields you would like to save, press the Save button to transfer all of your copied information into a new recipe.

Tips

• You can press the Reset button in order to clear your copied selections and try again.
• Press the pencil button to open the captured recipe in the edit form and review everything you have copied so far. You can also click any highlighted field button to open the form. From there you can freely make changes to the text.
• If no text is selected on the page, the field buttons will paste from your system clipboard instead — so you can copy text from another app and capture it into a field.
• If text already exists in a field when you click the button, the current selection will be appended to the existing text.
