How do I export recipes from CopyMeThat?

In CopyMeThat, go to Settings > Export to download your recipes. Then upload the export file to MoveMyRecipes to convert it to JSON, PDF, CSV, Markdown, or other formats you own.

Can I cancel my CopyMeThat subscription and keep my recipes?

Yes! Export your CopyMeThat recipes before canceling, then use MoveMyRecipes to convert them to formats like PDF or JSON that you can access forever without any subscription.

What happens if CopyMeThat shuts down?

Cloud services can shut down without warning, like Yummly did. By exporting your recipes now to local formats, you'll always have access to your collection regardless of what happens to the service.

Can I import CopyMeThat recipes into another app?

Yes. MoveMyRecipes converts CopyMeThat exports to universal formats like JSON (Schema.org), CSV, and Markdown that can be imported into many other recipe apps and services.

The problem with cloud-only recipes

CopyMeThat makes it easy to save recipes from the web. But what happens to those recipes when the service changes—or disappears?

Subscription = ransom

Stop paying and lose access to recipes you collected yourself. That's not ownership—that's rental. Export and truly own your collection.

Cloud services vanish

Remember Yummly? Services shut down, get acquired, or pivot. Your recipe collection shouldn't depend on a company's business decisions.

No internet, no recipes

Camping trip? Spotty WiFi? Cloud recipes need connectivity. Local files work anywhere, anytime, offline.

Your data, your control

PDF, JSON, Markdown—formats that will work in 50 years. No account needed, no terms of service, just your recipes.

Tired of app lock-in?

Your recipes are yours. You shouldn't need a subscription to access them.

Remember Yummly?

When Yummly shut down their recipe box feature, thousands of users lost access to their carefully curated collections overnight. No export option. No migration path. Years of saved recipes, gone. Don't let this happen to you.

Break free from subscriptions

Stop paying monthly fees just to view recipes you created. Export once, own forever.

Escape proprietary formats

Proprietary file formats keep you trapped. Convert to open standards you control.

Future-proof your collection

Apps shut down. Companies pivot. Your recipes in open formats last forever.
