Find the best moments from your streams without relying on Twitch's clip suggestions, which are often out of context or too long for Instagram.

Kapwing’s AI-powered Clip Maker automatically analyzes your video and identifies short, relevant highlights based on your prompt. You decide the length — whether 15-second highlights or 60-second moments — and the AI handles the rest.

Each clip is fully customizable, so you can adjust styles for different audiences, switching from Twitch to Instagram with new fonts, colors, layers, and uploads

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.

Kapwing is my secret weapon!

This is one of the most powerful, yet inexpensive and easy-to-use video editing software I've found. I blow my team away with how fast and efficiently I can edit and turnaround video projects.

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.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Natasha Ball

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 :)

This tool should be in every social media account managers' bookmark list.

I use this daily to help with video editing. Even if you're a pro video editor, there is no need to be spending hours trying to get the format correct. Kapwing does the hard work for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is Kapwing's Twitch to Instagram tool free?

Yes, Kapwing's Twitch to Instagram tool 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, unlimited auto-subtitling, and other features.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including from the Twitch clips to Instagram tool — will 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 is the right video size for Instagram?

For best results:

Feed videos: 1080 x 1080 px (square) or 1080 x 1350 px (vertical)
Stories & Reels: 1080 x 1920 px (vertical)
IGTV / Longer videos: 1080 x 1920 px (vertical) or 1920 x 1080 px (horizontal)

What are some of the most popular game streams on Instagram?

Instagram has become a vibrant space for gaming content, with streamers sharing highlights from their favorite games. Some of the most popular games on Instagram include Garena Free Fire, Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, PUBG Mobile, and Genshin Impact.

Many creators clip their Twitch streams to post on Instagram Reels, often using a vertical layout that shows themselves over their gameplay. Sharing these clips on Instagram helps reach a wider audience and boosts engagement.

How do I make Twitch clips that are worth sharing on Instagram?

To make Twitch clips shareable on Instagram, focus on short, exciting highlights from your streams. Trim your clips to the most engaging moments, use a vertical layout (9:16) for Reels, and add captions, overlays, or stickers so viewers can follow along without sound. Eye-catching thumbnails and trending music can also increase engagement, helping your clips reach a wider Instagram audience.

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.

How to post Twitch clips to Instagram

Follow the below five steps to take a Twitch clip and post it onto Instagram:

Download Your Twitch Clip: Save clips from Twitch by selecting “Share” and then “Download.”
Resize for Instagram: Use an editing tool like Kapwing’s Twitch to Instagram converter to adjust the clip to a vertical 9:16 format.
Highlight Key Moments: Manually trim your clip to Instagram's time limits (Reels up to 3 minutes) and focus on the most engaging parts, or use Kapwing's Clip Generator to find the best clips for you.
Customize for Instagram: Use Instagram-specific design features like overlays, music, or text to enhance your clip further.
Upload to Instagram: Post your video directly through the Instagram app, adding a caption, hashtags, and any relevant tags to increase visibility.

Can I post a Twitch clip directly from Twitch to Instagram?

No, Twitch does not offer a direct export to Instagram feature. Twitch clips can only be shared via links, downloaded, or embedded elsewhere.

How to keep your webcam visible when converting to vertical videos

Twitch streams are usually horizontal (16:9), but Instagram Reels 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.
