Enter original and desired servings, then list ingredients one per line. Leading quantities—including fractions, mixed numbers, and simple ranges—are scaled automatically. Lines without amounts stay unchanged.

Your data never leaves your computer.
How to use this tool
1. Enter original recipe servings and target servings. 2. Paste or type ingredient amounts from the recipe. 3. Click Scale recipe. 4. Review scaled quantities in the results panel. 5. Round awkward measures (e.g. ⅓ tsp) when cooking.
Worked example
Example: doubling a 4-serving recipe to 8 servings doubles each ingredient—verify leavening and spice amounts by taste.
How it works
Enter the recipe’s original servings, the servings you want, and one ingredient per line. Quantities at the start of a line—including whole numbers, decimals, fractions, mixed numbers, unicode fractions, and simple ranges—are multiplied by the servings ratio. Lines without a leading quantity are left unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
How are ingredients scaled?
Each line’s leading quantity is multiplied by desired servings divided by original servings. For example, doubling servings turns 1/2 cup into 1 cup.
What quantity formats are supported?
Whole numbers, decimals, fractions (1/2), mixed numbers (1 1/2), unicode fractions (½), and simple ranges (2-3 tbsp).
What about lines without amounts?
Lines like “salt to taste” or section headings are left unchanged because they have no leading quantity to scale.
