Zovo Recipe Card Maker
Printable recipe cards with scaled amounts that stay readable.
Zovo Recipe Card Maker turns your recipes into printable recipe cards. Paste a recipe or list the ingredients and steps, pick 4x6, 3x5, 5x7, half-letter or A6, and get a PDF with up to four cards on a Letter or A4 sheet and cut lines, or one card per page for card stock. Double a recipe or scale it to 12 servings and the amounts stay kitchen fractions: 3/4 cup becomes 1 1/2 cups, 1/3 cup times 1.5 becomes 1/2 cup. Lines without amounts, such as salt to taste, are kept as written. A long recipe continues on a second card instead of shrinking the text below 8 pt.
