Download Twitch clips and past broadcasts.
Works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Vimeo and 1000+ other sites
Works with Twitch clips and VODs (past broadcasts) that are publicly available. Long VODs can take a while — the file is assembled on the server before it's sent to you.
On a clip, tap Share → Copy link. For a VOD, copy the video page URL from the address bar.
Drop the link into the box and we'll list every quality and format available for it.
Click Download on the quality you want. The file saves straight to your device.
Twitch is live first and forever — but what happens on stream doesn't stay available. Highlights get buried, clips get lost in the churn, and past broadcasts expire on a timer: gone in weeks for most channels, unless someone saves them. Our free Twitch downloader grabs both sides of the platform: short clips for instant sharing and full past broadcasts (VODs) for the long haul. Paste a Twitch link above and save it as an MP4 before the clock runs out.
If you follow streamers, you already know the pain. The hilarious moment from last night's stream makes a perfect clip — but clips live on Twitch, and if the channel is banned or the clip is deleted, it's gone. Past broadcasts are worse: Twitch deletes them automatically, fourteen days for most streamers and sixty for partners, and many streamers never export them anywhere else. People download Twitch VODs to keep speedruns, tournament runs and charity marathons; to save their own streams for editing into YouTube videos; and to archive broadcasts from channels they love before the expiry timer wins.
Clips have their own logic. They're made for sharing, but sharing a Twitch link to a group chat means hoping everyone has the app and the patience. Sending the actual MP4 file always works — every phone plays it, every chat app sends it, and it never asks anyone to log in.
You can also put thesavefrom.com/ in front of any Twitch link in your browser bar to load it straight in.
One honest word about past broadcasts: they're long. An eight-hour stream in 1080p is a serious download — many gigabytes, and it takes a while even on fast broadband. That's normal; you're pulling down an entire broadcast. If you only need part of a VOD, download it and trim locally with any free editor. If storage is tight, drop to 720p or 480p — for a podcast-style just-chatting stream you'll barely notice, and you'll halve the file size. Clips, by contrast, are tiny: a few megabytes, downloaded in seconds.
Whichever you choose, the file is a standard MP4 with audio embedded — ready to watch, edit, or archive. At the top qualities Twitch splits video and audio into separate streams; we merge them automatically so you never end up with a silent video.
We don't touch subscriber-only VODs — that content is paid, and a legitimate downloader respects the paywall. We don't ask for your Twitch login. And we don't keep copies of anything you save; the file goes from Twitch's servers to yours.
Streamers earn from viewers being there: subscriptions, bits, ads on the live broadcast. Downloading VODs to watch later is normal fandom — just keep watching live when you can, clip responsibly, and if you repost a moment, credit the channel. Clips with credit are free marketing; re-uploads without it are just theft with extra steps.
Know your link types. A clips.twitch.tv URL is a clip — short, shareable, seconds to download. A twitch.tv/videos/ link is a VOD or highlight — potentially hours long. Highlights are the streamer's own edits and never expire; past broadcasts are the raw streams and live on borrowed time. Check which you have before wondering about file size. Subscriber-only VODs stay locked. They're a paid perk, we don't touch them, and any tool that does is breaking both Twitch's rules and basic decency toward streamers.
For long VODs, a little planning goes far. Download overnight or over Wi-Fi, choose 720p unless you truly need 1080p60 — for most just-chatting content the difference is invisible and the file is half the size — and trim locally afterwards. Free editors like Clipchamp, iMovie or even your phone's gallery app can cut a four-hour VOD down to the twenty minutes you actually wanted. Streamers: export your own broadcasts religiously. Twitch is a stage, not a warehouse. Download every stream you care about within the expiry window, because the number of creators who have lost years of content to an account suspension or a missed deadline is genuinely heartbreaking. Keep the raw VOD, edit on your own machine, and let YouTube be your archive — with local masters underneath it all.
It's worth being deliberate about which half of Twitch you're saving. Clips are social objects — thirty seconds of chaos destined for a group chat, and the MP4 you download is the version that works everywhere: Discord, WhatsApp, a Twitter reply, an edit. Keep the best ones; a folder of favourite clips from your community is a time capsule you'll actually open. VODs are archives — the full record of an event that will never happen again. Esports runs, charity marathons, final streams before a hiatus, the first playthrough of a beloved game: these are the broadcasts people miss years later, and the copies that exist are the ones viewers made. Esports has already lost early tournament footage to expired VODs that nobody downloaded. If a broadcast matters to you, be the person who saved it.
Scroll up, paste a Twitch link, and beat the expiry timer.
