Can I download just part of a YouTube video, without a Clip link?

Yes. Paste the video link, type a start and an end time, and only that part is downloaded. This is the tool for pulling a moment out of a long video or a stream VOD.

Is the YouTube clip downloader free?

Yes. LinksConverter is free, with no account and no watermark. Free use covers 60 clips an hour.

How long can a clip be?

Up to 60 minutes. Anything longer is a whole-video download — use the YouTube to MP4 page for that.

What quality is the clip?

Up to 1080p, at whatever quality the video was uploaded in. The cut re-encodes the clip so it starts on the exact frame; at the settings used the difference from the source is not visible.

Can I get the clip as MP3?

No. This page cuts video clips; the clip comes back as an MP4.

Does it work on Shorts, live streams and premieres?

Shorts and finished streams (VODs) work. A stream that is still live or a premiere that has not played yet cannot be cut until it has finished.

Does it work for TikTok, Instagram or other sites?

Yes. The start and end fields work on any public video link, not only YouTube — the part you asked for is cut after the video is fetched.

YouTube Clip Downloader

Download just the part you want. Paste a YouTube Clip link and the clipped segment comes down as MP4 — or paste any YouTube video, set a start and an end, and get exactly that piece. Free, up to 1080p, no watermark, and only the clip is delivered, not the whole video.

StartEnd

Leave both empty for the whole video. Times like 1:30 or 1:05:00 — a link with a timestamp fills in the start.

How the clip is made

Cut exactly where you asked
The clip is cut on a fresh keyframe at your start time, so it begins on the frame you chose — not a second or two early on the nearest keyframe the way a plain copy would.
Only the clip is delivered
The cut happens on our servers and only the clip comes down to you — a 30-second piece of a two-hour stream arrives as a 30-second file. A very long source takes a little longer to fetch first.
MP4 that edits and plays anywhere
H.264 video with AAC audio, up to 1080p — the file CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, phones and TVs all open without a conversion step.
Free, no watermark, deleted after two hours
No account and no watermark, 60 clips an hour. Files sit on encrypted storage for two hours (longer for results over 2 GB or with a Pro pass) and are then deleted.

Two kinds of YouTube clip, one box

A YouTube Clip link

Made with the Clip button under a video or stream, 5 to 60 seconds long, shared as youtube.com/clip/…. Paste it and the clipped part downloads — the start and end come from the clip itself, so leave the fields empty.

Your own start and end

Any video, any moment: paste the link, type 1:30 and 2:15, and that piece downloads. A link copied at a timestamp fills in the start for you. Clips can be up to 60 minutes — long enough for a whole segment of a stream.

The same start and end work on TikTok, Twitch, Medal and any other public video link — and on a file you upload from your device.

How to download a clip from YouTube

Copy the link
Either a YouTube Clip link — made with the Clip button under a video, it looks like youtube.com/clip/… — or the link of any YouTube video. A link copied at a timestamp (?t=1m30s) works too.
Paste it above
For a Clip link, the clipped part is already known and there is nothing else to set. For a normal video, a timestamp in the link fills in the start.
Set the start and end
Type times like 1:30 and 2:15 (or 1:05:00 for something past an hour). Leave both empty to download the whole video. Clips can be up to 60 minutes.
Download the clip
Press the button. The download appears once the cut is made — a standard MP4 of just that part, ready for an edit or a share.
