Paste any recipe and resize it in one click. Pick a multiplier and every ingredient is rescaled, with proper cooking fractions, not awkward decimals.
How to scale a recipe up or down
To resize a recipe, multiply every ingredient by the same factor: ½ to halve it, 2 to double it, 3 to triple it. Paste your ingredients above and this tool does the math for you, including the tricky fractions, so you get “1 ½ eggs” instead of “1.5 eggs”.
Tips for reliable results
- Eggs: for half an egg, beat one egg and use half by volume (about 1½ tbsp).
- Leaveners & salt: scale them too, but taste-sensitive items like spices can be adjusted to preference.
- Pans & time: a bigger batch needs a bigger pan; baking time changes with depth, not just volume. Check early with a skewer.
- Don’t over-scale: beyond 3–4× it’s usually better to bake in batches for even cooking.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a recipe to a different serving size?
Multiply every ingredient by the same factor. To go from 4 to 8 servings, multiply by 2; from 6 to 3, multiply by 0.5. Paste your recipe above and the tool does it for you.
How do I scale eggs in a recipe?
For a fraction of an egg, beat a whole egg and measure by volume, about 1½ tablespoons is half an egg. The tool shows the fractional amount so you know how much to use.
