Screenshots are a recipe inbox.

- Use clear, readable images
- Check ingredient quantities
- Fix missing or duplicated lines
After saving
Make the recipe useful beyond storage.

Questions
What to know before you try it.
Can Bytful read handwritten recipes? ⌄
Bytful can scan recipe photos, but handwriting quality varies. Clear printed text or readable handwriting works better, and you should review the imported card before saving.
Can I use more than one screenshot? ⌄
Yes. The photo import flow supports selecting multiple recipe images, then combines extracted text before creating the preview.
Does Bytful keep the original photo? ⌄
Bytful can use the first selected image as recipe thumbnail when possible, while the recipe itself is saved as a structured card you can edit and use.
