TikTok Live Recorder for live clips
Paste the link of a public TikTok LIVE that is on air right now. Capture a clip as MP4 video, MP3 audio or a JPG image. Video and audio clips can run up to 30 seconds on trial, 5 minutes on Lite, or 10 minutes on Pro and Studio. No screen recording or app installation needed.
How to record a TikTok LIVE
- 1
Copy the LIVE link
Open the LIVE and copy its address. It has to end in /live, like tiktok.com/@username/live. A plain profile link won't work.
- 2
Pick the format and length
Choose video, audio or a single frame. Set how long the clip should be and the aspect ratio: 9:16 if it's going back to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
- 3
Download the file
The recording runs in real time on our servers. When it finishes, download the file from your clip history and keep your own copy.

Quality depends on the stream and your plan. 1080p60 requires Pro or Studio. A 60-second clip may need that recording time, plus processing.
What gets recorded
Each recording is one clip of the LIVE, from a few seconds up to 10 minutes depending on your plan. If you start at the current moment, Live Clippers records what happens next: a 5-minute clip needs at least 5 minutes of recording, plus processing time.
Start from the current moment. Rewind is available only if the app can verify usable history in that LIVE; there is no guaranteed window of seconds or minutes. If no range is shown, an earlier moment cannot be recovered through this tool.
Before you start
The LIVE has to be public and on air. A LIVE that already ended can't be recorded, and neither can private or subscriber-only streams.
For a long stream, record several clips one after another. Each clip is its own file, so you can post the good parts without trimming an hour of footage first.
What you can download
MP4 video in 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1, the audio alone as a 192 kbps MP3, or a single frame as a JPG for thumbnails. Quality can't go above what the stream itself broadcasts.
Keep working with your saved clip
Once the capture is ready, play it in your library and choose the next step. Editing does not require the channel to remain live and does not renew the original's deadline.

Clip length and quality by plan
The free trial offers 3 capture attempts, up to 30 seconds and 480p; it is not an AI credit balance. Paid plans add longer captures, 1080p and monthly credits. A positive balance without a subscription uses Lite capture limits. Uploading and editing your own videos are free, with separate limits.
| Plan | Price | Max clip length | Max quality | Credits |

Questions
Is this TikTok live recorder free?
You can try it for free. New accounts get 3 test clips of up to 30 seconds at 480p, with no card. Longer clips and 1080p need a paid plan, which starts at $9.99 a month.
Can I record a whole TikTok LIVE?
Not in a single file. A clip can last up to 5 minutes on Lite and 10 minutes on Pro or Studio. For longer streams, start a new clip when the last one ends.
Can I download a TikTok LIVE after it ends?
No. Live Clippers records LIVEs while they are on air. Once the stream ends there's nothing left to record.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Live Clippers runs in the browser, so you can paste the link and download the clip from a phone or a computer.
