About Twitch clips

How Twitch clips work

A Twitch clip is a short excerpt — up to sixty seconds — that a viewer cut from a live stream or a VOD. Clips are stored as their own small files with their own permanent URLs, which makes them by far the easiest thing on Twitch to download. They also outlive their source: a clip usually survives even after the broadcast it came from has been deleted.

Step by step

Saving Twitch clips

  1. 01

    Open the clip

    Clips live at clips.twitch.tv/ClipName or twitch.tv/channel/clip/ClipName. Both forms work here.

  2. 02

    Copy the clip URL

    Take it from the address bar, or use the clip's own share button. Do not use the channel URL — that points at the live stream, not the clip.

  3. 03

    Paste and save

    Clips are short, so the file is typically only a few megabytes and downloads almost immediately.

Formats

What you get

Clips cap at sixty seconds by design. For a full broadcast you want the VOD downloader instead, which handles multi-hour files.

Common questions

Twitch clips questions

Usually yes. Clips are stored separately from the broadcast, so they commonly outlive the VOD they were cut from. If the streamer deleted the clip itself, it is gone.

If the original broadcast was 60fps and the clip was captured at full quality, yes — the frame rate of the source is preserved rather than being halved.

Clip quality is inherited from the stream at the moment it was captured. If the streamer was broadcasting at 720p, or the viewer clipped from a lower-quality playback, that is the ceiling.

A clip is a sixty-second excerpt; a VOD is the entire recorded broadcast, often several hours and several gigabytes. They use different URLs and are handled on different pages here.

Before you download

Downloading a video you do not own is only lawful in limited circumstances — your own uploads, material published under a licence that permits it, or personal offline viewing where your local law allows. Redistributing someone else’s work is not one of them.
