Download Twitch clips as MP4 or MP3
Paste a Twitch clip link and save the clip as an MP4 at the quality of the original clip, up to 1080p, or keep just the sound as an MP3. It works in the browser on iPhone, Android and PC, with no account and nothing to install.
- MP4 at the original clip's quality
- MP3 of the clip
- clips.twitch.tv links
Clip link to MP4 or MP3 in three steps
Copy the clip link
Under the clip, tap Share and Copy link, or copy the address bar. Both clips.twitch.tv/... and twitch.tv/channel/clip/... point to the same clip.
Check the resolution shown
Paste the link in the box above. The result shows the clip's resolution next to the file name, so you know what you get before you tap.
Download MP4 or MP3
Tap Download MP4 for the clip, or Download MP3 on the next row for its sound. On a phone the file is saved, not played in a tab.
A clip, not the whole broadcast
- Too long for this page: clip the moment you want
- MP4 at the quality of the original clip, up to 1080p
- MP3 at 128 kbps
Clip quality: the stream decides
A Twitch clip is a cut of up to 60 seconds from a broadcast, saved by Twitch as its own video at the quality the channel was streaming. A 1080p stream gives 1080p clips, a 720p stream gives 720p clips, and a clip made before a channel upgraded its setup stays at the old quality.
We take the highest rendition Twitch keeps for the clip and hand it to you as it is, without re-encoding. The resolution is printed next to the file name in the result, so a 720p clip never pretends to be 1080p. The MP4 is H.264 with AAC audio and opens in any editor.
Saving a moment from a VOD or a live stream
Many people looking for a clip downloader really want part of a past broadcast. The short way is a clip: open the VOD on Twitch, go to the moment, press the clip button under the player and choose up to 60 seconds. Twitch also lets you clip a live stream while it's running. Paste that clip's link here and you get the MP4.
A whole VOD is a different job. A short one works: paste its twitch.tv/videos/ link and, if it runs under 30 minutes and stays under 200 MB (at 1080p, that means a few minutes), it comes back as an MP4 up to 1080p plus an MP3, rebuilt on our server from Twitch's segments, so it takes a few seconds longer than a clip. A broadcast of several hours is refused right away as too long, instead of a long wait and a failed file.
From the Twitch app to your camera roll
You don't need an app. Copy the link from Share in the Twitch app, then open this page in Safari or Chrome and paste it. On a phone, Download MP4 goes through a download link that makes the browser save the file instead of playing it.
On iPhone the clip lands in Files, in Downloads; open it and use Share, then Save Video, to put it in Photos. On Android it goes to the Download folder and shows up in the gallery.

Twitch clips on iPhone, Android and PC
- On iPhone
- Safari stores the clip in Files › Downloads as twitch_ plus the clip id; Share › Save Video puts it in Photos.
- On Android
- Chrome keeps it in the Download folder at the resolution shown in the result, which is that of the original clip.
- On PC and Mac
- Twitch's clip servers send the MP4, so the browser opens it in a tab: right-click it and choose Save video as. A short VOD is joined on our server instead and downloads directly.
Twitch clip questions
Why is my clip 720p and not 1080p?
A clip keeps the quality of the stream it was cut from. A channel streaming at 720p makes 720p clips, and no downloader can add pixels the broadcast never had. A site offering a 4K version of a clip is enlarging that same file.
Can I download a whole VOD?
Only a short one. A VOD over 30 minutes is refused as too long before anything downloads, and the file stops at 200 MB, which a 1080p broadcast reaches in a few minutes. Make a clip of the moment on Twitch, then paste the clip link.
Can I turn a Twitch clip into an MP3?
Yes. Tap Download MP3 on the second row. The audio is extracted on our server at 128 kbps and named twitch_ plus the clip id.
Does the download include the chat?
No. A clip is the video of the broadcast. Chat only shows if the streamer had it on screen during the stream; there is no separate chat file.
Can I download a deleted clip?
No. Once the streamer or Twitch removes a clip, the file is gone from Twitch's servers and no site can fetch it. Save clips you care about while they're up.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in Safari or Chrome. Don't use the browser inside the Twitch app, which can't save files. On iPhone the MP4 goes to Files, on Android to the Download folder.
Is it legal to download Twitch clips?
Keep other channels' clips for personal viewing, and ask the streamer before reposting or monetizing them. The clip belongs to the channel.
