Can I attach more than one photo to a recipe?

Digitize handwritten recipes with photos
Photograph recipe cards and dishes — preserve handwriting while making recipes searchable.
Photograph handwritten recipe cards, scan the finished dish, or both. Digitize family recipes by attaching a photo to each entry so relatives see the original card — not just a list of ingredients.
Free to start · No credit card · Your family owns what you add
Why photograph when you digitize
- A photo of the handwritten card preserves fading ink and margin notes
- A photo of the plated dish shows what the food should look like
- Season tags so holiday favorites are easy to find later
- Structured ingredients and steps alongside the image for search

Frequently asked questions
Do photos count toward the free tier?
The free tier includes 50 photos across your household library. Premium (when billing ships) raises limits for households that need more room.
Can I photograph handwritten cards instead of retyping?
Yes — upload a photo and we transcribe ingredients and steps automatically. The card image is preserved even if you edit the fields later.
Is my recipe photo stored?
Yes — the original card image stays attached to your recipe in your household library. You control who can access it through household permissions and share link settings.
Does photo upload cost extra?
No — recipe photo transcription is included in the free tier within your library limits. Premium raises limits for larger households; see pricing for details.
