Create and download clips from live Kick streams
Paste a Kick channel that is live right now and save the moment as an MP4 clip, an MP3 or a still frame. Live Clippers records it on its servers, so you don't need OBS or a screen recorder.
How to clip a Kick stream
- 1
Copy the channel link
Use the channel address while the streamer is live, like kick.com/username. Links to VODs or to clips that are already on Kick won't work.
- 2
Set the clip
Choose video, audio or a frame, the length and the aspect ratio. If you clip for TikTok, Shorts or Reels, pick 9:16 and the file comes out ready to post.
- 3
Download it
Live Clippers records the stream on its side and leaves the file in your clip history. Download it from there when it's ready.

Quality depends on the stream and your plan. 1080p60 requires Pro or Studio. A 60-second clip may need that recording time, plus processing.
How far back you can go
You can rewind up to 4 hours when the current live broadcast's VOD provides that history. The app checks the source for your selected quality and shows the available range and any delay behind live. The entire clip must fit inside the published range.
If that history is unavailable, the app checks the live feed, which may offer only a short window or no rewind. You can also start from now and record forward, up to 5 minutes on Lite and 10 minutes on Pro or Studio.
Live streams only
Use the channel link while it is on air. Live Clippers may use the current broadcast's available history to rewind, but it does not accept VOD links, completed broadcasts or clips that are already published.
What you can download
MP4 video in 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1, the audio alone as a 192 kbps MP3, or a single frame as a JPG for thumbnails. Quality can't go above what the stream itself broadcasts.
Keep working with your saved clip
Once the capture is ready, play it in your library and choose the next step. Editing does not require the channel to remain live and does not renew the original's deadline.

Clip length and quality by plan
The free trial offers 3 capture attempts, up to 30 seconds and 480p; it is not an AI credit balance. Paid plans add longer captures, 1080p and monthly credits. A positive balance without a subscription uses Lite capture limits. Uploading and editing your own videos are free, with separate limits.

Questions
Can I download Kick VODs or existing clips?
VOD links and published clip links are not supported. Use the channel link while it is live; the app can rewind within the current broadcast's history when it is available.
Can I create clips from live Kick streams for free?
You can test it for free: new accounts get 3 clips of up to 30 seconds at 480p, with no card. Longer clips and 1080p start at $9.99 a month.
What quality do the clips have?
Up to 1080p on Lite and 1080p at 60 fps on Pro and Studio, as long as the stream is broadcast at that quality. The free test clips are limited to 480p.
Do I need a Kick account?
No. You only need the link to a public channel that is live.
