Twitch Video Downloader
Paste a Twitch clip or VOD link and save it as MP4.
Quick answer
Twitch Video Downloader saves Twitch clips and past broadcasts as MP4 files. Live streams are not captured while they are running; the tool works on a clip or a VOD that Twitch has already published. Subscriber-only VODs and deleted clips cannot be fetched. The saved file keeps the source resolution and audio, and it is deleted two hours after creation.

Frequently asked questions
Can it record a stream that is live right now?
No. A live broadcast has no finished VOD yet. Wait until the stream ends and Twitch publishes the past broadcast, then use that VOD link.
Do subscriber-only VODs and clips work?
They do not. Content locked to channel subscribers needs an authenticated session, and the tool deliberately avoids requesting Twitch accounts.
What is the difference between a clip and a VOD here?
Both are supported. A clip is a short highlight and downloads quickly; a VOD is the full broadcast and can be several gigabytes, so processing takes longer.
Is the original frame rate preserved?
The tool keeps the stream Twitch serves, including its frame rate, up to the resolution the VOD exposes.
