How to use: Enter the original servings and the servings you want, then paste the ingredient list with one ingredient per line, starting with the amount.

Double, halve or resize any recipe. Paste the ingredients and get new amounts instantly.

How does recipe scaling work?

Scale factor = new servings ÷ original servings. Going from 4 to 6 servings is ×1.5, so 2 cups becomes 3 cups. The tool understands whole numbers, decimals, fractions (1/2, 1 1/2), symbols like ½ and ranges like 2-3, and rounds to kitchen-friendly fractions.

Tips for scaling

VSH take: for eggs, round to the nearest whole egg or beat one and use part.
