What does a recipe video from Faceless look like?

A full recipe is longer than a short video: 12 ingredients and 8 steps read aloud run well past 90 seconds, the longest Faceless video. So the narration is condensed: the key ingredients, the steps that matter and the one tip that makes the dish work. Be honest about the pictures. Faceless draws a generated illustration for each step, not footage or photos of your dish, so it suits recipe stories, tips and quick walkthroughs better than a cooking demo. Point viewers to the full recipe in your description. Each video in the Storyboard style costs 20 credits, and plans start at $29/month on the Starter plan.

How do I turn a recipe into a video?

1

Trim the recipe to what a viewer needs to hear

Keep the dish name, the five or six main ingredients and the key steps. Leave salt, oil and exact gram weights for the written recipe; a 60 second video holds about 150 spoken words.

2

Lead with why the dish is worth making

Put the hook first: ready in 15 minutes, one pan, or the trick that keeps it crisp. Viewers decide in the first two seconds whether to keep watching.

3

Paste it and pick a style, voice and length

Paste into the box on this page, sign in, and choose a visual style, a narrator voice, the language and the length. 60 to 90 seconds suits most recipes.

4

Check every amount and temperature

Faceless narrates what you gave it, so a wrong oven temperature ends up in the video. Turn on Approve each script first on the Posting step to read the script and fix amounts before anything is made or charged.

5

Add the full recipe and post

Adjust captions, pictures or the voice in the editor, then download it or post it to a connected YouTube, TikTok or Instagram account with the full recipe in the description. The series can keep making recipe videos on your theme, or pause after one.

No. Faceless generates an illustration for each step in the style you pick. It is not footage or a photo of your food, so do not present it as your own cooking. Real photos of your dish belong in the post or your blog.
A list of ingredients is generally not protected, but the written method and stories are. Rewrite the steps in your own words, credit the original cook or book, and link to the source rather than pasting their recipe text.
About 150 spoken words: the dish, five or six main ingredients and the key steps. Faceless condenses longer recipes to fit, so put the exact amounts in your description for anyone cooking along.
Yes. Turn on Approve each script first on the Posting step. Faceless writes the script ahead of time, you edit the amounts and steps or replace it with your own words, and an approved script is narrated exactly as written.
A video in the Storyboard style costs 20 credits. Plans start at $29/month with credits every month, and one-off credit packs start at $10 for 100 credits.
