This may not seem like a trivial task but sometimes you might need to turn a Twitch clip, stream, or VOD to MP3. No matter what has caught your attention—a DJ stream or a gaming highlight, this guide will walk you through the various methods for extracting audio from Twitch clips, whether you prefer online tools or desktop software. We’ll see how you can turn Twitch Clips to MP3 audio, Twitch streams and VODs (videos on demand).

Let’s start with a Twitch clip, though, and learn what it is.

What Is a Twitch Clip?

Twitch Clips are short snippets of live streams that viewers can create and share. They allow users to capture and highlight exciting moments from longer broadcasts, turning them into easily shareable content. While Twitch clips are often shared as videos, you might want to convert them to MP3 for different purposes, like creating remixes, using audio in social media posts, or just saving it for later.

How to Convert Twitch Clips to MP3 on Desktop

If you regularly convert Twitch clips and need a more robust solution, desktop software might be a better fit. Here are some powerful tools that offer more features than online converters.

4K Video Downloader Plus

4K Video Downloader Plus is a proper jack of all trades (and master of them all!). It allows you to download videos and convert them to MP3 from various platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Bilibili, Dailymotion, Rumble, BitChute, and many more. It’s a powerful tool with an in-built search system, so you don’t even need to copy-paste links—just search within the app and download the content directly.

To download a Twitch clip, VOD, or stream as MP3 audio with 4K Video Downloader Plus, follow these steps:

Install 4K Video Downloader Plus on your Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu device.
Launch the app.
Find a Twitch clip, VOD or stream and copy its URL.

Get back to 4K Video Downloader Plus and press the Paste Link button.
Choose Audio under Download and MP3. Additional audio formats available are M4A and OGG.

Press Download.

The same steps work for Twitch VODs and streams.

4K Video Downloader Plus will save your Twitch video as MP3; all you need to do is click on it, and it’ll automatically open in your default player. And as we mentioned above, you can also search for Twitch content right within the app and download it without leaving the application.

How to Convert Twitch Clips to MP3: Online Methods

Here are several online tools that can convert Twitch clips to MP3 quickly and easily. No need to install stuff on your PC—everything can be done online. Here are some of the most popular options:

UnTwitch

UnTwitch is a solid solution; it’s a web-based Twitch to MP3 converter that makes the conversion process easy thanks to only one step: all you need to do is to paste a Twitch video link to the dedicated field on the website and press Submit. In addition to converting to MP3, UnTwitch allows you to download the video in various resolutions.

TubeRipper

TubeRipper is another option, though its interface is a bit trickier to navigate due to the numerous ads. Despite this nuance, though, it’s a reliable tool that can rip audio not just from Twitch clips but YouTube as well as Facebook, Zoom, and dozens of others. It offers additional formats like FLAC, OGG, and WAV, which are great for those who need high-quality audio for further editing.

Is Converting Twitch Clips to MP3 Legal?

If you’re downloading and converting your own Twitch clips for personal use or to share on your social media channels, you’re in the clear legally. However, converting and sharing someone else’s Twitch clips without permission can get into murky legal territory.

While downloading clips for personal use isn’t technically illegal, it does violate Twitch’s Terms of Service, which prohibit using third-party tools to bypass the platform’s restrictions. This includes downloading and converting content that you didn’t create. Always ensure that you have the necessary permissions to avoid any potential issues.

How to Turn Twitch VODs to MP3

Visit the Twitch VOD Archive and enter the nickname of the Twitch streamer you need.

You can also simply find the streamer right on Twitch and find the VOD you want to download.

Copy the VOD's URL.
Paste the URL you've just copied by clicking on the Paste Link button.

Choose the desired quality, format, and output folder.

Press Download and wait till the app saves the VOD.

Once it's downloaded, click on it, and the VOD will open in your default player. You can also download subscriber-only VODs with 4K Video Downloader Plus. All you need to do to access them is to log in to your Twitch account through the 4K Video Downloader Plus in-app browser.

How to Convert Twitch Streams to MP3
