By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is Kapwing's AI Twitch Clip Generator free?

Yes, Kapwing's AI Twitch Clip Generator is free for all users and includes preset aspect ratios for quick and easy resizing. However, a Pro account is needed to get 4k video quality and other advanced features.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account, then all exports contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from all the videos and images you create.

What are the best social media aspect ratios?

Using the right aspect ratio ensures your videos fill the screen, avoid cropping, and look native on every platform.

  • TikTok recommends 1080 × 1920 with an aspect ratio of 9:16 for full-screen vertical videos.
  • Instagram supports multiple formats:

— Reels & Stories: 1080 × 1920 (9:16)

— Feed (Square): 1080 × 1080 (1:1)

— Feed (Portrait): 1080 × 1350 (4:5)

  • YouTube (standard videos) is best at 1920 × 1080 with an aspect ratio of 16:9 for desktop and TV viewing.
  • YouTube Shorts uses the same vertical format as TikTok:

— 1080 × 1920 (9:16)

Other popular aspect ratios include

  • 1:1 (Square) – Ideal for Instagram feed posts and cross-platform social sharing
  • 4:5 (Portrait) – Maximizes screen space in Instagram feeds
  • 16:9 (Landscape) – Standard for YouTube, presentations, and long-form video
  • 5:4 or 3:2 – Occasionally used for ads or legacy content

What are some of the most popular game streams on social media?

Top games across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts include Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, and Call of Duty. Mobile-friendly and reaction-heavy games like Garena Free Fire perform especially well on TikTok, while League of Legends, Valorant, and GTA V dominate on Twitch and YouTube. These games are ideal for short clips thanks to their fast-paced action and viral potential.

Can I generate clips from a Twitch link?

Yes — just paste your Twitch VOD link, and Kapwing’s AI will scan the video to find highlight-worthy moments. No need to download or upload the file manually.

How do I make Twitch clips that are worth sharing?

One key strategy is not to leave your streaming sessions completely up to chance. You want to approach each stream with the viewer in mind and imagine yourself as a host or entertainer. What would the game's audience find interesting? What would excite them or make them laugh?

Before you stream, brainstorm common in-game events and how you might add funny commentary or execute a bit of eye-catching gameplay. This way, you're more likely to naturally produce memorable moments you can clip and post on social media.

How do I find my Twitch clips?

You can find your Twitch clips in the Clips page of your Creator Dashboard. Go to Creator Dashboard > Content > Clips. Here, you can sort and filter clips, edit titles, and watch or share clips.

What clip lengths can I create?

You can generate clips starting from 10 seconds — just tell the AI chatbot the length you want.

What aspect ratios can the Clip Maker resize to?

Kapwing's Twitch to TikTok tool is built for social media, allowing you to easily resize content to fit any platform.

  • 9:16 (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn Short-form videos)
  • 16:9 (YouTube)
  • 1:1 (Instagram post square)
  • 4:5 (Instagram post portrait)

Read our social media aspect ratios blog to discover the best video sizes for every platform.

How to keep your webcam visible when converting to vertical videos

Twitch streams are usually horizontal (16:9), but short videos on social media are vertical (9:16). To preserve your content, you should consider:

  • Reframe the video: Crop the gameplay area while keeping the webcam overlay in view.
  • Split the screen: Another method is adding a vertical background or duplicate gameplay as a blurred vertical frame behind your clip, keeping both the gameplay and webcam visible via a split screen.
  • Highlight the action: Focus on the main gameplay moment or your reaction; don’t try to fit everything from the original stream into one vertical clip.
