Twitch VOD Downloader
Save public Twitch VODs (past broadcasts) as MP4 in HD — paste the link, no login.
A Twitch VOD downloader that saves a public past broadcast as MP4
SnapSave is a free Twitch VOD Downloader that turns a public past broadcast into a single MP4 you can keep and watch offline. Paste a public twitch.tv/videos link into the box at the top of this page, press Download, and the VOD saves to your device in HD, no app, no account, and nothing to install. It runs in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer.
Most people reach for a downloader for one simple reason: a stream they wanted to watch happened while they were busy, and the full SnapSave downloader lets them save it for a quieter moment. A multi-hour broadcast is awkward to follow live in a browser tab, and watching it back later means buffering and a spinning wheel every time the connection dips. Saving the VOD once means it plays smoothly afterwards, with no stalls.
SnapSave reads the public VOD link you paste and hands back a clean MP4 of that past broadcast. It works only with PUBLIC Twitch VODs that have a shareable twitch.tv/videos link, never with subscriber-only or sub-locked content, and it never logs into anyone’s account. Save your own broadcasts, content you have permission to keep, or other public VODs you’re allowed to download, and please respect Twitch’s Terms of Service and the streamer’s copyright. Want a short highlight instead of a whole stream? Use the Twitch Clip Downloader for that.
How to download a public Twitch VOD in three steps
From a public past-broadcast link to a saved MP4 in well under a minute, with no software to install and no sign-up.
Copy the public VOD link
On the streamer’s channel, open the Videos tab, pick the past broadcast, and copy its twitch.tv/videos URL from the address bar or the share button. It has to be a public VOD with a shareable link.
Paste it into SnapSave
Drop the link into the box at the top of this page and press Download. SnapSave reads the public VOD and lists the MP4 qualities it can hand you, up to the resolution the broadcast was streamed in.
Choose a quality and save
Pick the MP4 in the resolution you want, up to Full HD. SnapSave prepares the file and it saves straight to your phone or computer, ready to watch offline with no buffering.
What you can save from a public Twitch link
One box reads the link and works out what it points to, a long past broadcast or a short highlight, then offers the right MP4 download for it.
Public VODs (past broadcasts)
Save a public Twitch VOD, the recording of a past broadcast a streamer left public, as a clean MP4 in HD up to Full HD. One paste of the twitch.tv/videos link gives you the whole stream to watch back offline.
Clips
Some moments are a single funny play, not a full stream. If you only want a short highlight, the dedicated tool saves that public Clip cleanly as its own MP4.
The full HD stream
A VOD can run for hours. SnapSave keeps the whole past broadcast in one MP4, at the resolution it was streamed in, so a long stream you missed is watchable later without buffering.
We don’t log your links or keep your videos
Plenty of Twitch downloaders quietly keep a record of every link that’s pasted into them. SnapSave doesn’t work that way. There’s no account to sign into, no list of what you’ve saved, and no copy of your file left sitting on a server.
When you paste a public VOD link, SnapSave reads that past broadcast straight from Twitch, prepares the MP4, and passes the finished file to your device. The link only lives long enough to prepare the download, then it’s gone, no log with your name attached, and never a sign-in to anyone’s Twitch account. It only ever touches public VODs, never subscriber-only or private content.
Supported Twitch sources and resolutions
What the broadcast was streamed in is what comes back down, a standard MP4 you can play anywhere, with no fiddling needed afterwards.
| Source on Twitch | What SnapSave gives you | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Public VOD (past broadcast) | MP4 (H.264 / AAC) | Up to source, HD / Full HD |
| Public Clip | MP4 (H.264 / AAC) | Up to source |
| Subscriber-only VOD | Not supported | — |
Get a clean Twitch VOD download every time
Most downloads work first try. A few small habits sort out the ones that don’t.
Copy the VOD link, not the live channel
Open the streamer’s Videos tab, choose the past broadcast, and copy its twitch.tv/videos URL. A link to the live channel or a category page won’t point at a specific VOD, so grab the video’s own address.
It has to be a public VOD
SnapSave works only with public past broadcasts that have a shareable twitch.tv/videos link. If a VOD is subscriber-only or sub-locked, the page is private, or the stream was never made public, the link can’t be opened, by design. Stick to public VODs.
HD depends on the original stream
SnapSave always offers the sharpest version the VOD holds, up to Full HD, but it can’t go past what was broadcast. If the stream went out at 720p, then 720p is the ceiling, no tool can add detail that was never there.
A long VOD is a big file
A multi-hour past broadcast makes a large MP4 and can take a little longer to prepare. Keep the tab open while it works, and on mobile a Wi-Fi connection saves your data for the bigger streams.
If a download stalls, refresh and retry
A dropped connection happens. Reload the page, paste the link again, and most stalled downloads finish on the second go. Nothing half-finished is kept, so a retry is always safe.

SnapSave opens only public past broadcasts with a shareable link. Subscriber-only and private content stays off-limits, which keeps the tool clean and respects every streamer.
How to download a Twitch VOD on any device
The routine is the same everywhere, copy, paste, download. Only the place the file lands changes.
iPhone & iPad iOS
Open the public VOD on twitch.tv, copy its twitch.tv/videos link, open SnapSave in Safari, paste, and download. The file saves to Files → Downloads. To move it into your camera roll, open it in Files, tap share, and choose Save Video.
Android Chrome
Copy the public VOD link from the Videos tab, open SnapSave in Chrome, paste, and tap download. The file shows up in your Downloads notification and folder, and most gallery apps pick it up on their own.
Windows PC
Open the public VOD on twitch.tv, copy the twitch.tv/videos URL from the address bar, paste it into SnapSave, and click download. The file lands in your default Downloads folder, usually C:UsersYourNameDownloads.
Mac macOS
Same as Windows, copy the VOD URL, paste, download. The MP4 saves to ~/Downloads ready to watch offline, and SnapSave works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Arc.
Chromebook & Linux
Identical steps: open the public VOD, copy, paste, download. Files save to your Downloads folder and show up in the Files app on Chromebook or your file manager on Linux.

What SnapSave won’t do
A downloader should be a handy tool, not a way around someone’s rights. A few things stay off the table on purpose.
Touch subscriber-only or private VODs
SnapSave opens only public past broadcasts with a shareable twitch.tv/videos link. Subscriber-only VODs, sub-locked content, and private or unlisted streams stay off-limits. Getting around a sub gate or an access control is exactly what this tool will not do.
Bulk-rip a whole channel
Each download is one paste of one public VOD. SnapSave isn’t a channel scraper and won’t be bent into one.
Hold on to your downloads
The finished file travels from Twitch to your device. Nothing stays with us, so there’s nothing to “delete later”, it was never kept.
Ask for your Twitch password
SnapSave never needs your login or your account, and it never signs in to anyone’s. If a Twitch downloader wants your account details, close the tab.
Add tracking or a watermark
The MP4 you save is the original past broadcast as Twitch stored it, nothing added, nothing altered, and certainly no SnapSave stamp.
Help you reuse content you don’t own
Saving someone else’s VOD to republish or sell, without permission, isn’t what this is for. Keep it to your own broadcasts, content you have permission to use, or public VODs you’re allowed to save, and respect Twitch’s Terms of Service and the streamer’s copyright.
Twitch VOD Downloader, frequently asked questions
Is SnapSave free to use?
Yes. SnapSave is a free Twitch VOD Downloader with unlimited downloads, no signup, no email, no premium tier and no daily cap. A few light ads keep the service going.
Do I need an account or to sign in?
No. SnapSave runs in your web browser, so there’s no app, no extension and no software to install, and it never asks for or uses your Twitch login. It only reads public VOD links.
What quality can I download a VOD in?
Up to whatever the broadcast was streamed in. SnapSave offers the highest resolution the public VOD holds, up to Full HD, and hands it back as a standard MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) so it plays just like the original.
Does it work with subscriber-only or sub-locked VODs?
No, public VODs only. SnapSave works solely with public past broadcasts that have a shareable twitch.tv/videos link. Subscriber-only or sub-locked VODs, and private or unlisted streams, are not supported, by design, the tool will not bypass a sub gate or sign in to view them.
Can I grab a clip instead of a whole stream?
Yes. A short highlight is usually a Twitch Clip, and there’s a dedicated tool for it. Use the Twitch Clip Downloader to save a public Clip as its own MP4, and use this page for a full public VOD.
Is it legal, and what’s allowed?
It depends on the VOD. Saving a past broadcast you created, or one you have the streamer’s permission to download, for your own offline viewing is generally fine. Downloading or re-sharing someone else’s VOD without permission is not, and SnapSave isn’t meant for that. You’re responsible for respecting copyright, the streamer’s rights, and Twitch’s Terms of Service. SnapSave only handles public VODs and is not affiliated with Twitch or Amazon.
How do I download a Twitch VOD on iPhone or Android?
Open the streamer’s Videos tab, copy the public VOD’s twitch.tv/videos link, then open SnapSave, paste, and download. On iPhone the file goes to Files → Downloads; on Android it lands in your Downloads folder. From there you can move it into your gallery to watch offline.
