# Collect and manage recipes — all in one place — mangia

> Photo, PDF or link in — clean recipe out. mangia collects your favourite recipes from web, cookbook, note and WhatsApp in one place.

## All your recipes. In one place.

One sits in a browser tab, one in a note, one in a PDF, three in your mum's cloud. mangia takes them all and turns them into clean recipes.

## Photo, PDF or link in. Clean recipe out.

Share a link from your browser straight to mangia — ingredients and steps are in within 5 seconds. Take a photo of a cookbook page — same thing. It all lands cleanly in your collection — searchable, filterable, draggable into the weekly plan.

## Features

### Photo, PDF or link
AI extracts ingredients and steps automatically from photos, PDFs and links.

### Share from any app
Browser, Instagram, WhatsApp — "Share → mangia" anywhere. It's in.

### Searchable and filterable
By category, tag, season, time, diet — you find the recipe before the pasta cooks.

## Frequently asked

**Which formats can I import?**

Photo (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC), PDF (one page), URL and free text. All without retyping.

**Does it work with any recipe website?**

With most yes. Sites with Schema.org data are in seconds; for others we extract from the page text.

**What about recipes in a cookbook?**

Photographing one page is enough — the app reads out ingredients and steps automatically.

**Are quantities and units recognised correctly?**

Yes. "2 tbsp", "250 ml", "1 pc" — all structured. You can correct ingredients after import.

**Can I add recipes by hand?**

Sure. Title, ingredients, steps — done in two minutes.

**Who owns my imported recipes?**

You do. mangia stores them in your account, ZIP-exportable, deletable any time.
