Turn your Twitch VODs into ready-to-post clips.
Pillage reads your chat and audio to find the moments worth keeping, cuts them to vertical or horizontal, and burns in captions. It runs on your own PC and works on your own streams.
From VOD to clips in three steps
Paste your VOD link
Pillage downloads the VOD and its chat to your PC. Nothing goes through our servers.
It finds the moments
Chat spikes and loud audio rank the candidates. Pro also reads your own Twitch Stream Markers.
Clips come out captioned
Each clip is cut, reframed and captioned with speech-to-text, then collected in one folder with a review page.
What it does
- Finds the moments
- Scores your VOD by chat activity and audio loudness and cuts the top ones.
- Vertical or horizontal
- Blurred background, center crop, or keep it wide. Pick what suits where you post.
- Captions that match your style
- Word-level captions from Whisper, with your font, colors and position.
- Dark mode
- The app has a dark theme, so editing at night is easier on your eyes.
- Webcam on top or bottom Pro
- Pick your webcam area once and stack it above or below the gameplay in vertical clips.
- Caption preview Pro
- See a real frame with your caption style before you cut a hundred clips.
- Review, keep, reject, trim Pro
- Go through clips with the keyboard. Nothing is deleted, rejects move to a folder.
- Titles, descriptions, hashtags Pro
- Suggested post text from what was said in the clip. Works offline, no accounts.
- Stream Markers Pro
- Drop a marker while you play, or let Streamer.bot do it, and Pillage clips around it.
- Reprocess and re-caption Pro
- Change your mind about the format or the captions later without re-downloading.

Questions
What do I need to run it?
A Windows PC with Python 3.10 or newer and ffmpeg. The included setup.bat checks for both and offers to install them for you with Windows' own installer, winget.
Does it need an account with you?
No. There is no login and no cloud. Your VODs, chat and clips stay on your PC.
Is it for any streamer's VODs?
It is built to clip your own streams. Clip only content you have the rights to use.
How is the Pro edition delivered?
You buy through our checkout, and the receipt includes the download for the Pro zip. It is a separate download from Lite, so Lite can't be unlocked by editing a setting.
Is this affiliated with Twitch?
No. Pillage is an independent tool by The Dominion. Twitch is a trademark of Twitch Interactive, Inc.
