FAQ
Questions aboutPlate.
What is Plate?
Plate is a private, AI-powered visual cookbook for iOS. It turns food photos, paper recipes, and videos or links from YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, Pinterest, and recipe sites into structured recipes with ingredient-level nutrition and cinematic teardown images you can save, cook from, and export.
Can Plate turn TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube videos into recipes?
Yes. Share a video or post from YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, or Pinterest to Plate, or paste its link, and Plate writes the recipe with ingredients, steps, and nutrition. You can also scan a printed or handwritten paper recipe, or snap a photo of a dish.
Is Plate a calorie or diet tracker?
No. Plate shows ingredient-level nutrition inside recipes so you understand what you're cooking, but it is not a calorie tracker, diet app, or fitness tool. There are no daily budgets, weight goals, or guilt-based scoring.
How does the AI work, and is my data tracked?
Plate uses AI to analyze dishes, build recipes, and generate visuals through secure backend services. There is no advertising tracking, no data is sold, and AI providers never receive your identity, only the recipe content needed to do the work.
What do I get for free, and what needs Plate Pro?
You can explore Plate and create recipes on the free tier with some limits. Plate Pro unlocks unlimited AI recipe creation, paper recipe scanning, all visual types, full nutrition, premium styles, watermark-free hi-res and PDF export, and private cloud sync.
Which languages does Plate support?
Plate is fully localized in 20 languages.
