Accepted URL formats

  • https://clips.twitch.tv/{slug}
  • https://www.twitch.tv/{channel}/clip/{slug}

Accepted Twitch Clip URL formats

Twitch shares clips under https://clips.twitch.tv/{slug}, https://www.twitch.tv/{channel}/clip/{slug}, and https://m.twitch.tv/clip/{slug}. Paste any of these formats to save the 1080p60 MP4 with stereo game and mic audio.

Common questions

Do clips.twitch.tv, twitch.tv/channel/clip/, and m.twitch.tv links all work?

Yes. SMDownloader extracts the unique clip slug from clips.twitch.tv/{slug}, twitch.tv/{channel}/clip/{slug}, m.twitch.tv/clip/{slug}, and clips.twitch.tv/embed?clip={slug}.

What is the difference between a Twitch Clip URL and a VOD URL?

Clips use a word-based slug (like TangentialBillowingJalapenoYee), whereas past broadcasts use numeric /videos/{id} URLs. Both are supported on our Twitch tools.

Why won't a live channel URL (twitch.tv/streamer) download?

Active live streams cannot be downloaded directly. Create or open a published clip from the stream first, then copy that clip link.
