The fastest and easiest Twitch clip downloader 🎞️

Clipsey is your go-to tool for downloading Twitch clips super easily! Here's how it works: grab the URL of any Twitch clip you want to save, paste it into the text box above, and click the 'Download Clip' button. We'll fetch the video file for you and get it ready to download to your computer. Seriously, it's that simple!

Yep, totally free! Clipsey won't cost you a dime. We might add some non-intrusive ads down the road to help cover server costs and keep the lights on, but the tool itself will always be free to use. We're committed to making Clipsey the best Twitch clip downloader out there without putting it behind a paywall. Pinky promise!

This usually happens when the URL you're pasting isn't quite right. Clipsey works with two specific types of Twitch clip URLs:

1. Clip URLs from a streamer's clip tab (like: https://www.twitch.tv/clintstevens/clip/EnticingConcernedAlbatrossMrDestructoid)

2. Clip URLs from the clips.twitch.tv domain (like: https://clips.twitch.tv/EnticingConcernedAlbatrossMrDestructoid)

If you're seeing this error, double-check your URL. Look for typos, extra spaces, or make sure Twitch hasn't deleted the clip. Sometimes clips get removed by streamers or Twitch, and that'll cause this error too.

This error can pop up for a few different reasons. Let's troubleshoot:

1. Check your internet connection. Make sure you're actually connected and things are loading properly.

2. Try disabling your ad blocker or any browser extensions temporarily. Sometimes these tools interfere with how Clipsey talks to the Twitch API, and turning them off can fix the issue.

3. Our servers might be getting hammered with requests. If lots of people are using Clipsey at once, things can slow down or hiccup. Wait a minute or two and give it another shot.

If none of that works, it's possible Twitch updated their API recently and we need to update Clipsey to match. This happens from time to time.

If you're still stuck, please reach out to us! We want to fix any issues ASAP so everyone can download clips smoothly.

Yes! We heard you loud and clear, and we built one! Our Chrome extension lets you download clips directly from Twitch pages without all the copying and pasting. Grab it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twitch-clip-downloader-ae/deopknpmicacphpkjnekiodlocjehohn

Here's how it works: When you're watching a clip on Twitch, just click the extension icon in your browser toolbar. It'll open Clipsey with that clip's download link already loaded and ready to save.

But wait, there's more! The extension also adds a "Download Clip" button directly on Twitch pages wherever clips appear. No more tab-switching or URL-copying. Just click the button under any clip and boom, you're redirected here with the download link ready. It makes grabbing your favorite clips so much faster and easier. POGGERS!

Sure! There are other ways to download clips, though they're not nearly as easy as using Clipsey (just saying!).

Since Twitch doesn't offer a built-in download button, you'll need to get a little technical and use your browser's developer tools to extract the video URL. Sounds scary, but it's actually not too bad.

Here's the step-by-step for Chrome (Firefox and Safari are similar):

1. Open your browser's developer console. Click the menu in the upper-right corner, select "More Tools," then "Developer Tools."

2. In the developer console, click on the "Elements" tab near the top-left.

3. Click the "Element Selector" tool. It's an icon near the top-left that looks like a box with an arrow pointing at it.

4. Hover over the clip's video player until you see a light blue overlay, then click on it.

5. The Elements panel will fill with HTML code. Look for a line that starts with "<video>". Right-click on the video URL inside that line and select "Copy Link Address."

6. Open a new tab and paste that URL. The clip will play. Right-click on the video and choose "Save Video As..." to download it to your computer.

And that's it! The manual, slightly messy way. If you get stuck, we made a quick video guide for you: https://www.loom.com/share/f14c9ac07d48491f89f909b1d70abd17

Good news! That's already what Clipsey does by default. Every clip you download comes as an MP4 file, no conversion needed. If you want to be extra specific about it, you can also check out our dedicated Twitch to MP4 download page.

People download clips for all sorts of reasons! Here are some of the most common ones we've seen:

1. Making backups before clips get deleted. Streamers sometimes remove clips, and Twitch occasionally purges old content, so downloading ensures you won't lose those epic moments.

2. Watching offline. Maybe you're going on a flight, a road trip, or just want to enjoy clips without burning through your data plan.

3. Creating compilation videos. Clip compilations are huge on YouTube, and having the video files makes editing way easier. Even streamers make compilation videos for their own channels!

4. Personal projects and edits. Some people like to remix clips, add effects, or create highlight reels for fun.

These are just a few reasons. People are creative and find all kinds of uses for downloaded clips!

When you use Clipsey, we need to send a request from your browser to our servers, which then talks to Twitch's API to grab the clip. During this process, basic browser info (like what browser you're using and your IP address) gets sent to our servers. The only piece of personal data we temporarily store is your IP address.

Why do we store IP addresses? It's mainly for protection. If someone tries to abuse the service or deliberately overload our servers, we need to be able to block them so Clipsey keeps working smoothly for everyone else.

That's it. We don't collect or store any other personal information. Your privacy matters to us.

Buckle up for a quick history lesson!

Twitch is a live streaming platform that launched in 2011. It actually started as the gaming section of a broader site called Justin.tv, which was one of the first major live streaming platforms on the internet.

Justin.tv was created in 2007 by Justin Kan. Initially, it was just Justin streaming his entire life 24/7 with a webcam attached to a hat, connected to a laptop in his backpack. He was basically the original IRL streamer, living like he was in The Truman Show!

Justin would broadcast everything (except bathroom breaks) and chat with viewers in real time. Sound familiar? That's basically what IRL streamers do today.

The concept blew up. Media outlets like the Today Show featured him, which brought tons of attention to Justin.tv. Eventually, Justin got tired of streaming his life nonstop and decided to open the platform to everyone. People started streaming all kinds of content: lifecasting, sports, music, news, tech, and gaming.

But gaming quickly became the dominant category. Most new streamers were gamers, and most viewers were watching gaming content. It grew so fast that in 2011, the gaming section was spun off into its own platform called Twitch.tv.

Twitch exploded. By 2014, Justin.tv was shut down so the team could focus entirely on Twitch. Later that year, Amazon bought Twitch for a whopping $970 million! By 2015, Twitch had over 100 million monthly viewers.

Today, Twitch is one of the top 30 most-visited websites in the world. It has millions of streamers, over 15 million daily active users, and averages around 1.4 million people watching at any given moment. What started as one guy streaming his life turned into a massive media empire.

While Twitch is still known for gaming, it now has tons of other categories like Just Chatting, music, creative arts, cooking, talk shows, and live events. Funny enough, it's come full circle back to being a general-purpose streaming platform, just like Justin.tv was!

Clipsey gives you multiple resolution options! When you download a clip, you'll usually see choices ranging from 360p all the way up to 1080p (full HD), depending on what quality the clip was originally recorded in. We always fetch the best quality available so your clips look sharp and clear. If the streamer was broadcasting in 1080p, you can download the clip in 1080p. Pretty sweet, right?

Absolutely! Clipsey works perfectly on mobile. Just open your browser (Safari, Chrome, whatever you use) on your iPhone or Android device, go to clipsey.com, paste the clip URL, and tap the download button. The clip will save right to your phone just like on a desktop. No app required, everything works directly in your mobile browser!

Nope, zero limits! Download as many clips as your heart desires. Whether you're grabbing one clip or going on a massive downloading spree of your favorite moments, Clipsey won't stop you. Download to your heart's content!

Really fast! Getting your download link usually takes just a few seconds. Paste the URL, click the button, and boom, your download link is ready almost instantly. The actual time it takes to download the file to your device will depend on your internet speed, but we'll have that link ready for you in a flash.

Unfortunately not. Clipsey can only download clips that are publicly viewable on Twitch. If a clip is from a sub-only VOD or has been made private by the streamer, we can't access it. We're limited to clips that anyone can watch without special permissions or a subscription.

Not right now. Clipsey is built specifically for clips, which are those short highlight moments. Full VODs can be hours long and require a completely different approach, so we don't support them yet. However, if you want to save specific moments from a VOD, you can create clips from those moments on Twitch first, then download those clips using Clipsey. Works like a charm!

Not yet, but it's on our radar! We've gotten tons of requests for bulk downloading, and we totally get why people want it. It's definitely something we're looking to add in the future. For now, you'll need to download clips one by one, but stay tuned because we're working on making this happen!

For personal use? Generally yes. People download clips all the time to save favorite moments, make compilations, or keep backups before clips get deleted. Where it gets complicated is if you plan to use clips commercially or reupload them claiming they're your own content. That can run into copyright issues. Always respect the original creator and give proper credit. If you're planning to do anything beyond personal viewing or sharing with friends, it's smart to ask the streamer for permission first!

100% yes! Clipsey is totally safe to use. No malware, no viruses, no shady downloads. We're just a simple tool that fetches the video file directly from Twitch's servers. We don't ask you to install anything weird, and your downloads are clean MP4 files with nothing hidden inside. Your computer and peace of mind are completely safe with us!

Nope! No account, no sign-up, no email address required. Just visit the site, paste your clip URL, and download. We wanted Clipsey to be as quick and friction-free as possible. Making you create an account would just slow things down and add unnecessary hassle. Come, download, and you're done!

Super easy! Here are a few ways to grab a clip URL:

1. From the clip page: If you're watching a clip on Twitch, just copy the URL from your browser's address bar. It'll look like https://www.twitch.tv/streamername/clip/ClipSlugHere or https://clips.twitch.tv/ClipSlugHere.

2. Using the share button: When you're viewing a clip, click the share button (looks like an arrow coming out of a box). There's an option to copy the clip link directly.

3. From a streamer's clips tab: Go to any streamer's channel, click on their Clips tab, find the clip you want, click it, and then copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

Once you've got the URL, just paste it into Clipsey and you're all set!

Nope! Streamers can't see who downloads their clips, whether you're using Clipsey or any other method. Your downloads are completely anonymous. Twitch doesn't give streamers any data about who's downloading clips, so you can save your favorite moments privately. Download to your heart's content!
