How to Download Twitch VODs and Clips: The Complete 2025 Guide

Twitch is the world's leading live streaming platform, but sometimes you want to save a piece of history. Whether it's a legendary gaming moment captured in a clip or a full 8-hour VOD (Video on Demand) of your favorite streamer, having an offline copy is essential for creators and fans alike.
Why Download Twitch Content?
Twitch VODs don't stay online forever. Depending on the streamer's status, VODs are usually deleted after 14 to 60 days. Downloading them ensures you never lose access to your favorite content. For editors, downloading clips is the first step in creating "Best Of" compilations for YouTube or TikTok.
What you can download with CutYT:
- • Full Stream VODs (up to 1080p 60fps)
- • Twitch Clips (the short viral moments)
- • Stream Highlights
- • Audio-only versions (perfect for podcasts/talk shows)
Step-by-Step: How to Download
1. Get the Twitch Link
Navigate to the Twitch video or clip. Copy the URL. It should look something like twitch.tv/videos/123456789 or clips.twitch.tv/FamousClipName.
2. Use CutYT
Head over to CutYT and paste the link into the search bar. Our engine will process the Twitch metadata instantly.
3. Choose Quality and Save
Twitch usually offers several quality options (Source, 720p, 480p, etc.). Select your preferred resolution and click the download button.
Pro Tip: Downloading Audio Only
If you're watching a "Just Chatting" stream or a podcast on Twitch, you might only need the audio. CutYT allows you to convert Twitch VODs directly to MP3 or AAC, saving you massive amounts of storage space on your mobile device.
Is it Legal?
Downloading content for personal offline viewing is generally considered fair use. However, you should never re-upload a streamer's content without their permission, as that violates copyright laws and Twitch's Terms of Service.
