How to Download Twitch Highlights as MP4 (Free, Online)

Bijgewerkt: 2026-06-29 · Geschreven door de oprichter van vodfetch

To download a Twitch highlight, copy its URL (twitch.tv/videos/ID), paste it into a browser-based Twitch highlight downloader, choose a quality, and save the MP4. Highlights are permanent creator-made clips, so the link stays valid and you can download it anytime.

What Are Twitch Highlights (and How They Differ from VODs and Clips)?

Twitch Highlights are edited segments a streamer saves from a past broadcast. Unlike standard VODs, Highlights are permanent: they do not auto-delete after 7, 14, or 60 days, so a highlight URL stays valid long-term and is safe to download whenever you like.

A VOD is the full, automatic recording of a live stream and expires based on the channel's storage settings. A Clip is a short 5-60 second snippet that any viewer can capture in the moment. A Highlight sits in between: it is creator-made, can run several minutes, and lives permanently on the channel's Videos tab.

Because Highlights live at the same address format as VODs (twitch.tv/videos/ID), the same browser-based workflow downloads both. Our free online Twitch downloader detects the video type automatically once you paste the link.

How Do I Find a Twitch Highlight URL?

Open the channel, click the Videos tab, and filter by Highlights. Click the highlight you want to open it in the player, then copy the address from your browser's bar. It will look like twitch.tv/videos/123456789.

On mobile, tap the share icon under the highlight and choose Copy Link. Either way, the numeric ID after /videos/ is what the downloader needs to fetch and save the highlight video as an MP4.

How to Save a Twitch Highlight Video as MP4 in Your Browser

With the highlight URL copied, you can save it without installing any software. Our Twitch highlight downloader runs entirely in the browser, so it works on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS from the same page.

Paste the link, let the tool read the highlight, pick your preferred resolution (for example 1080p or 720p), and download. The result is a standard MP4 file that plays in any media player or video editor.

If a highlight is long, choosing a lower resolution produces a smaller file and a faster download, which is handy on slower connections or limited mobile data.

Is It Allowed to Download Twitch Highlights?

Downloading a highlight for personal, offline viewing is generally fine, but the video still belongs to the creator. Treat saved highlights responsibly: don't reupload them as your own, and credit the original streamer if you share a moment.

For anything beyond personal use, such as reaction content, compilations, or commercial projects, get the streamer's permission and follow Twitch's Terms of Service and copyright rules. When in doubt, ask the creator first.
