You found a recipe you want to keep. The fastest way to get it into your Parsely cookbook isn't copy-pasting a URL — it's clicking a button that already lives in your browser bar. That's what the Parsely browser extension does.
What the extension does
The extension adds a small Parsely button next to your address bar. Open any recipe page, click the button, and the recipe lands in your library — title, ingredients, steps, photo, cook time and servings, with the ads and life stories left behind. You never leave the page, and there's nothing to paste.
It works on Chrome, Firefox and Safari from a single account, so your cookbook stays in sync wherever you browse.
Install it in a few seconds
- Open the extension page and pick your browser — Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
- Confirm the install in your browser's store. It takes a few seconds.
- Sign in to Parsely once. The button is now ready in your toolbar.
That's the whole setup. From here on, saving a recipe is a single click.
How to save a recipe
While you're reading a recipe on any site, blog or supermarket page, just click the Parsely icon. The extension reads the structured recipe data on the page and sends it to your cookbook. Within a few seconds it's saved, cleaned up and searchable.
A few things worth knowing:
- It reads the page you're on — no need to copy the link or open a new tab.
- It tidies as it saves — you get the recipe, not the pop-ups, ads and intro essays.
- It tags and scales like any other recipe once it's in your library.
The extension is optional
Parsely never depends on the extension. You can always save recipes straight from the website by pasting a URL, importing a photo, or typing one in by hand — we cover all of that in our guide to saving recipes from any website. The extension is simply the quickest path when you're already browsing.
