Twitch VOD Downloader — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about archiving past broadcasts.
Can I download a Twitch VOD after it was deleted? +
No. Once Twitch's storage window closes or a streamer deletes a VOD, the files are permanently purged from Twitch's HLS CDN. There is no official recovery method. You should always download important VODs before the deadline.
Can I download subscriber-only Twitch VODs? +
No. If a streamer has enabled "Subscriber-Only VODs", Twitch restricts access behind authenticated user sessions. TwitchCutter operates anonymously without requiring your login, so only publicly accessible VODs can be fetched and downloaded.
How long does it take to download a Twitch VOD? +
Short clips under 5 minutes typically process within 10 to 20 seconds. Slicing longer segments (e.g. 1 hour) depends on stream resolution and backend processing load, but is dramatically faster than downloading the entire 30GB broadcast file.
