How to download from Twitch
Clips work well. Long VODs are a different story.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
How it works
- 1
Copy the clip or VOD address
clips.twitch.tv/… or twitch.tv/videos/… — both are accepted.
- 2
Paste it and press Start
A clip resolves in seconds. A multi-hour VOD may be refused.
- 3
Pick a height
Twitch publishes a real ladder, unlike most short-video sites.
Why a long VOD is refused rather than queued
An archived broadcast often runs four hours or more. Converting one would hold the queue for everybody else waiting behind it, so past a length cap it is refused outright instead of accepted and left to crawl.
That is a deliberate choice about shared capacity, not a technical limit. If the stream you want exists as clips, those are the reliable route.
A filter of ours that hid the ladder
Twitch declares a height for each quality but does not always declare a width. Our ladder builder required both before it would count a format, so Twitch came back with one generic "MP4" row instead of the resolutions it genuinely offers.
A missing width now means landscape and is derived from the height, and the real ladder appears.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my VOD refused?
Length. Hours-long broadcasts would block the queue for everyone else.
Do subscriber-only VODs work?
No. They need an account with that subscription.
Are clips watermarked?
No. The file is Twitch’s own, unaltered.
