Keep the card.
Share the recipe.
Turn family recipe cards into a small Polish–English book: the original image, a clean version in both languages, and the memory behind it. Ready to print or share as a PDF.
Proof in the pages
Open the book we actually make.
This 26-page example was downloaded after a Stripe sandbox purchase. Maria and the cards are fictional; the layout and files are the actual customer exports.
Your family’s copy
Build the book one card at a time.
Add a card photo and extract an editable text draft, or type the Polish recipe yourself. Complete its English version, then check both against the card before you export. Photos and text stay in this browser.
Photograph the whole card in good light. A resized copy stays in this browser.

One book, ready to give.
A5 print PDF and lighter screen PDF. Up to 12 original cards, each paired with reviewed Polish and English text. No subscription or physical printing.

How it works
The card and the cooking stay together.
Gather the cards
Take clear photos of up to twelve cards. Keep their handwriting, stains and margin notes in the book.
Check both languages
Extract a rough text draft from each photo if you wish, then correct it and complete the Polish and English recipes. Check every quantity, step and name.
Print or share
Download an A5 PDF for printing and a smaller copy for phones. Revisit the same browser to revise your book.
A few useful details
Before you make a family cookbook.
Will RecipeFold read or translate my handwritten cards?
It can try to read a card into an editable text draft on your device. Handwriting may be misread, so compare the draft with the original before copying it into the recipe. Translation is yours to write and check. Your photo is not sent to an AI service.
What if a recipe is too long for one page?
The original card gets its own page. The Polish and English text share a page when they fit; longer recipes receive separate language pages. The contents list updates automatically.
Can I print the book at home?
Yes. The print PDF uses A5 pages (148 × 210 mm), a common small-book size. Print at 100% scale and check your printer’s margins. Physical binding and printing are not included.
Where do my photos go?
They remain in your browser. Download and keep both PDFs after checkout; clearing site data can remove your editable draft.
