For streamers

Your stream, clipped by morning: the AI clipping tool for streamers

Paste last night's Twitch VOD or YouTube stream link. Clyper reads every word of it, finds the moments you react, rage and tell the story, stacks your facecam over the game and captions every word: up to 30 vertical clips for TikTok, Shorts and Reels, with no watermark and nothing to download.

Why streamers post clips

Clips are how new viewers find you while you're offline. A stream is hours of moments only the people who were there saw; a clip a day on TikTok, Shorts and Reels puts the best of them in front of people who've never heard of you, and sends them back to your channel. How that fits a growth plan is in how to grow on Twitch and how to grow on Kick.

The catch is time. Scrubbing a four-hour VOD for the good parts, cutting them, laying out the facecam and captioning each one is a day's work after a night of streaming. That's the part Clyper does.

What Clyper does with a stream

  • Reads the whole stream. Every word, for moments that stand alone: a reaction, a rant, a story between rounds, banter with chat. Each is cut from the line that hooks to its payoff, 20 to 60 seconds.
  • Lays it out for a phone. It finds your webcam, a small face parked in a corner, gives it the top of the frame and puts the middle of the game below. When the webcam isn't up, it follows your face instead.
  • Captions it on the seam between the two panels, where it covers neither.
  • Ranks it, with a hook score on every clip, so you post the strongest first.

One limit: it picks moments from what's said. A silent clutch play isn't in the transcript, so hit Twitch's Clip button for those as they happen. If you talk through your games, you're covered. See stream clips, gaming clips and Twitch to TikTok.

Twitch, Kick, YouTube or OBS

  • Twitch: paste the past broadcast's, highlight's or upload's twitch.tv/videos link. Twitch keeps past broadcasts 60 days for Partners, Prime and Turbo users, 14 for Affiliates and 7 for everyone else, so clip them in the first week. Subscriber-only VODs need downloading and uploading. See Twitch VOD to clips.
  • YouTube: paste the link once the stream has ended and been saved. See how to clip YouTube live streams.
  • Kick: Kick links don't work yet, so download the VOD and upload it, as Kick VOD to clips shows.
  • Your own recording: an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV up to 4 GB, or a Google Drive or Dropbox link to a bigger one. See OBS recording to clips.

Clyper, an editor or clippers?

There are three ways to get your stream clipped, and they mix:

  • Hire an editor. When we checked on October 27, 2026, Upwork put video editors at $6 to $25 an hour typically, with a mid-tier median of $40, and two short-form editing listings on Contra started at $40 and $50 a video. See how to hire a clipper.
  • Let clippers clip you. Some streamers pay clippers per view through a clipping program or campaign. It spreads you across many accounts, but you don't control the clips. See how to run a clipping campaign and how to get clipped.
  • Clip yourself with Clyper. The best two hours of a stream use 120 credits: $3.80 on Pro billed yearly, for up to 30 clips on your own channels.

Which plan fits how you stream

A credit is a minute of video, however many clips you take, and with Clip part of the video you only pay for the part you pick, so you don't have to clip the whole stream:

The smallest plan for each schedule, and what a stream comes to on it
What you clipCredits a monthPlanPriceA stream
The best hour of 3 streams a week780Studio$48 a month billed yearly$1.44
The best 2 hours of 3 streams a week1,560Studio$48 a month billed yearly$2.88
The best 2 hours of 5 streams a week2,600Studio 2×$96 a month billed yearly$2.88
Three whole 4-hour streams a week3,120Studio 2×$96 a month billed yearly$5.76

Each stretch gives up to one clip for every 2 minutes: 30 from an hour, 30 from two. Starter is $20 a month with one caption style; Pro adds every style and the brand kit. Compare them on the pricing page.

Posting stream clips that bring people back

  • One a day, best first, on TikTok, Shorts and Reels: the same 9:16 file posts on all three.
  • Say where you stream in the caption and your bio, with your schedule; the free stream schedule maker makes the graphic.
  • Mind the music. Licensed songs in a game or in the background can get a clip claimed. Pick moments your voice carries.
  • Fix what matters. Trim to the word, extend either end by up to 15 seconds, or bleep a word with the free bleep censor.

What it costs

A credit is a minute of video, so a plan is how much video you can clip in a month, however many clips it makes.

  • Starter

    $20/mo

    200 minutes, about 100 clips

  • Pro

    $19/mo yearly

    600 minutes, about 300 clips

  • Studio

    $48/mo yearly

    2,000 minutes, about 1,000 clips

    Also as 2× or 4×, for more of both

Questions

What is the best clipping tool for streamers?

For streamers who talk on stream, Clyper: paste a Twitch VOD or YouTube stream link and it finds the moments in the whole stream, stacks your facecam over the game, captions every word and gives up to 30 vertical clips with no watermark. For silent plays, Twitch's own Clip button is still the tool.

Is there a free clipping tool for streamers?

Twitch's Clip button is free and saves one moment at a time. Clyper is paid, from Starter at $20 a month, with no free plan or trial. The free split screen video maker here stacks a facecam over gameplay for one clip, in your browser.

Does Clyper connect to my Twitch account?

No. There's no account to connect: paste a VOD's twitch.tv/videos link and it clips that one. It doesn't clip every stream on its own.

How much does it cost to clip a 4-hour stream?

A whole 4-hour stream uses 240 credits, for up to 30 clips: $7.60 on Pro billed yearly. Clip only the best 2 hours and it's 120 credits, for the same 30.

Can I clip Kick streams?

Yes, from the file: Kick links don't work yet, so download the VOD and upload it (MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV, up to 4 GB), or share it from Google Drive or Dropbox and paste that link.

Does it work if I don't use a facecam?

Yes. Without a webcam in the corner there's no split: it crops to 9:16 and follows the faces on screen, or holds the middle of the game when there are none.

Clip last night's stream
