About KickCutter

Empowering content creators, video editors, and fans to extract high-quality Kick clips effortlessly.

⚡ Why We Built KickCutter

Kick.com streams frequently run for 6, 8, or even 12 hours. Content creators, editors, and TikTok/Reels managers often need just 30 seconds or a 2-minute highlight for social media.

Previously, editors had to download an entire 20GB+ VOD, open heavy video editing software, import the file, and export the clip — wasting hours of time and gigabytes of bandwidth. KickCutter solves this problem in seconds.

🛠️ How It Works Under The Hood

KickCutter does not download the full broadcast. Instead, our high-bandwidth backend queries the Kick stream HLS video manifest and directly slices only the requested video segment using optimized yt-dlp and ffmpeg stream-copying pipelines.

⚡ Zero Full Downloads

Direct segment slicing saves gigabytes of mobile data and disk space.

🚫 No Watermarks

Exported MP4 files are completely clean and ready for YouTube Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.

📺 Full 1080p60 Quality

Preserves the creator's exact original resolution, bitrate, and framerate.

🔒 100% Privacy

Clips are temporarily generated solely for download and automatically deleted.

❤️ Free & Open Source

KickCutter is built as a free community utility. You can view, audit, or contribute to our codebase on GitHub.
