How to Download Twitch Clips and Highlights
A quick guide for gamers and editors to save Twitch clips and stream highlights to their local drives.
How to Download Twitch Clips and Highlights
Twitch is the world's leading live-streaming platform for gamers, talk shows, and creative artists. During a 4-hour live stream, amazing moments happen—clutch plays, funny commentary, or sudden fails. Users preserve these moments by creating Twitch Clips (short segments up to 60 seconds long).
If you are a video editor building gaming compilations for YouTube, or a fan wanting to keep a collection of your favorite streamer's highlights, you need a way to download Twitch clips as MP4 files.
Extracting Twitch Clip Links
To save a clip, you need to copy its unique link:
- On Twitch Web: When watching a clip, click the share icon at the top of the video player and click Copy to Clipboard.
- On Twitch App: Tap the clip player, tap the share icon, and select Copy Link.
- From Streamer Profiles: Navigate to a streamer's page, click the Clips tab, open a clip, and copy the URL.
Saving Twitch Clips in 1080p
You can download clips in maximum source quality using CoraClip:
- Open CoraClip in your browser.
- Paste the Twitch Clip link in the search bar.
- CoraClip will fetch the clip details and show quality selections (e.g., 1080p, 720p, 480p).
- Click the download button next to your desired resolution to save the MP4 video.
Tips for Editors
If you are compiling clips for a YouTube video, always organize your files by renaming them with the streamer's name. This makes it easy to add credit overlays in your video editor, which is best practice in the gaming community.
