Regeneration & Style Changes

Each purchased recipe includes multiple generations to ensure you're happy with the result.

Your 5 Generations

Every recipe credit includes 5 total generations:

TypeCountPurpose

All regenerations are free and included with your purchase.

Text Edit Regenerations

Use these when you need to fix the text content:

When to Use

  • Typos - Fix spelling mistakes in ingredients or instructions
  • Missing items - Add an ingredient that was left out
  • Corrections - Adjust amounts or measurements
  • Clarifications - Reword confusing instructions

How It Works

  1. Go to your recipe's review page
  2. Click "Edit Recipe"
  3. Make your text changes
  4. Click "Regenerate"
  5. Wait for new design (1-2 minutes)

What to Know

  • The same style is used
  • Layout may shift slightly to accommodate changes
  • You have 3 text edit regenerations available

Style or Format Change

Use this when you want a completely different look or aspect ratio:

When to Use

  • The style doesn't match your vision
  • You want to see how another style looks
  • The current style doesn't suit your recipe type
  • You need a different aspect ratio (e.g., portrait instead of landscape)
  • You want to print at a different size

How It Works

  1. Go to your recipe's review page
  2. Click "Try a Different Style or Format"
  3. Select a different style, format, or both
  4. Click the regenerate button
  5. Wait for new design (1-2 minutes)

What You Can Change

Important

  • One-time only - You get exactly 1 style/format change per recipe
  • At least one change required - You must select a different style OR format
  • Choose carefully - Review all 8 styles and formats before deciding

Tracking Your Regenerations

On the review page, you'll see:

  • Regenerations remaining
  • Which type you've used
  • Options available to you

Tips for Best Results

Before Regenerating

  1. Review your recipe text carefully
  2. Check all ingredients are correct
  3. Verify instruction steps are complete
  4. Consider if it's a text issue or style issue

Choosing to Regenerate

  • Text problem? Use a text edit regeneration
  • Don't like the look? Consider your style change
  • Minor layout issue? Sometimes regenerating with the same text produces a better layout

Style & Format Change Strategy

Since you only get one free change:

  1. Browse all 8 available styles first
  2. Review all output formats
  3. Read about which recipes work best with each style
  4. Consider your recipe type (baked goods, savory, cultural, etc.)
  5. Think about how you'll use it (print size, digital display, etc.)
  6. Make an informed choice

What Regeneration Can't Fix

Some issues require adjusting your recipe before regenerating:

  • Recipe is too long - Simplify ingredients or instructions
  • Complex formatting - Break into simpler steps
  • Special characters - Remove unusual symbols
