Do you love watching streams on Twitch but can’t always catch them live? Do you want to rewatch the best moments of your favorite streamers anytime, even without an internet connection? Twitch Downloader is the solution you need. This free software for Windows allows you to download VODs (Video On Demand), clips, and even chats from most Twitch channels in just a few clicks. While some streamers reserve access to replays for their subscribers, Twitch Downloader gives you the freedom to save and view content whenever you like for everyone else.
Download Twitch VODs and Clips in High Quality
Twitch Downloader allows you to download VODs of your favorite Twitch streamers in MP4 format. You can choose to get the video and audio or just the audio if you prefer. This way, you can rewatch the streams you missed or replay the best parts anytime, even without an internet connection.
The app also lets you download Twitch clips that caught your attention. These video snippets of stream highlights are often shared on social media but can be hard to find later. With Twitch Downloader, you can save them on your computer and watch them as many times as you want, without worrying about them disappearing.

- To download a VOD (Video On Demand), click the “Download Video” button in the main menu. Note that the French translation is imperfect, but the button is still easily identifiable.
- In the new window that opens, paste the URL of the Twitch VOD you want to download in the “Video Link/ID” field. You can get this URL from your browser on the VOD page in question. Once the URL is pasted, click the “Get Info” button to the right of the field.

- If you want to download only a specific part of the VOD, you can enter the start and end time codes in the designated fields, in the HH:MM:SS (hours:minutes:seconds) format. If you leave these fields empty, the VOD will be downloaded in its entirety.

Save Chats to Relive the Stream Atmosphere
Twitch Downloader not only downloads the video and audio of streams but also allows you to save chats in JSON, TXT, or HTML format. This is a unique and well-thought-out feature for Twitch enthusiasts. The chat is an integral part of the stream viewing experience, with viewers’ reactions, questions, and inside jokes.
By saving the chat along with the VOD, you can relive a stream in its entirety and easily find a message or information shared by the streamer or another viewer. It’s also a great way to keep a record of interactions between the streamer and their community.
Conclusion
If you’re a Twitch fan looking for a simple and effective way to save your favorite content, Twitch Downloader is for you. VODs, clips, chats… Download whatever you want in just a few clicks, and enjoy your favorite streams wherever and whenever you want.
