How do I export recipes from Paprika Recipe Manager?

In Paprika, go to File > Export and save your recipes as a .paprikarecipes file. Then upload this file to MoveMyRecipes to convert it to JSON, PDF, CSV, Markdown, or other formats.

What is a .paprikarecipes file?

A .paprikarecipes file is Paprika Recipe Manager's proprietary export format. It's a compressed file containing your recipes in a format only Paprika can read. MoveMyRecipes converts these to open, universal formats.

Can I convert Paprika recipes to PDF?

Yes! MoveMyRecipes can convert your Paprika recipes to beautiful, print-ready PDF recipe cards that you can print or share with anyone.

Will I lose my recipe photos when converting from Paprika?

No, MoveMyRecipes preserves your recipe photos when converting to formats that support images, like PDF and JSON.

100% free. Your recipes, your formats, forever.

The .paprikarecipes problem

Paprika is great software, but your recipes are locked in a format only Paprika can read. Here's why that matters:

Trapped in one app

Want to try a different recipe manager? You'd have to manually copy hundreds of recipes. We unlock your collection.

Years of work at risk

Your grandmother's recipes, that perfect sourdough you perfected, all in a format that could become unreadable. Export now.

Can't share easily

Want to send a recipe to your mom? She'd need Paprika too. Export to PDF and share with anyone, anywhere.

Print-ready recipe cards

Sometimes you just want a recipe on paper in the kitchen. We create beautiful PDFs you can print and laminate.

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.
