# About Twitch Downloader

> Twitch Downloader is a free, open-source tool to save Twitch VODs, clips and live streams as MP4 — built for streamers, editors and archivists who want a fast, private way to keep their content.

## What it does

It downloads Twitch past broadcasts, highlights, clips and live streams in original source quality (up to 1080p60) as standard MP4 files — no account, no watermark, no ads.

## How it works

The tool reads Twitch's public playback data, fetches the video's HLS segments (or a clip's MP4) through a lightweight proxy (needed to satisfy the browser's security rules) and reassembles them into a single file right in your browser.

## Privacy & responsible use

There's no account and no tracking, and we don't store your downloads — video is only relayed through a stateless proxy to work around browser limits. Use it only for content you own or are permitted to save, and always respect Twitch's Terms of Service and copyright.
