# Turn your Twitch clips into Instagram Reels

Drop in a Twitch clip or a full VOD. Cliphi pulls out the best moments, crops them to vertical, and adds the captions and music for you.

## How it works

1. **Paste your Twitch link** Drop in a clip, a highlight, or a full past broadcast. Hand it a whole VOD and Cliphi watches the entire thing to find the moments worth posting.
2. **AI finds and reframes the moment** Cliphi spots the plays and the bits your chat went off for, then crops each one to vertical so your facecam and the gameplay both stay in shot.
3. **Post to Instagram Reels** Each clip comes out vertical and sized for Reels, with captions on screen and a caption written for you. Share it to Instagram from Cliphi, or download it.

## Why Cliphi

- **Your facecam stays in shot** Cliphi follows your face and the action frame by frame, so the part people care about never gets cropped out of the tall frame.
- **Clip while you are still live** Cliphi can work on your broadcast in real time, so a highlight can go up before you have even ended the stream.
- **Stays clear of the Reels buttons** Cliphi keeps your subject in the safe middle of the frame so the username along the bottom and the buttons up the side never cover the part people came to see.

## Going from Twitch to short-form without the editing

Twitch is where the moment happens. Short-form feeds are where people who have never heard of you run into it. The catch is that a Twitch clip is wide and built for a monitor, while short-form is tall and watched on a phone with the sound off. Cropping each clip, re-centering your facecam, and typing out captions by hand is the kind of work that quietly eats the hours you would rather spend live.

Cliphi takes that part off your plate. Paste a clip or a whole VOD and it looks for the moments that tend to land, the clutch play or the line your chat spammed, and turns each one into a finished vertical clip. Your gameplay and your facecam both stay in the tall frame, the captions follow what you are saying, and the music sits under the moment instead of fighting it.

You do not have to clip inside Twitch first either. Paste a single clip when you already know the moment, or let Cliphi find the highlights across a few hours of footage. If you stream live, it can work on the broadcast as it happens, so a good moment can go out while you are still on.

## Framed around the Reels layout

Reels covers a lot of the screen with its own buttons. The username runs along the bottom and the action icons stack up the right side, so anything near those edges gets hidden. Cliphi keeps your subject and the captions in the safe middle of the frame, so nothing gets lost behind the interface. Reels runs up to ninety seconds, which suits one clean moment rather than a long lead-in.

The clip exports with no watermark. That matters on Instagram, because Reels tends to bury clips that carry another app's logo, treating them as reposts. A clean export does not get that treatment, and the caption and hashtags come written for Instagram, ready to paste.

Reels also rewards posting often, so pulling several clips from one source keeps your account active without extra filming. Each clip is a fresh way for someone who has never seen your work to find it.

## FAQ

### Can I turn an old Twitch broadcast into clips?

Yes. Paste the VOD link and Cliphi watches the whole broadcast, picks the moments worth posting, and makes a vertical clip from each one. You do not have to clip them in Twitch first.

### Will my facecam stay in the shot?

Yes. Cliphi follows your facecam and the on-screen action and keeps them in the tall frame, so the important part does not get cut off.

### Can I clip my stream while I am still live?

Yes. Cliphi can work on your broadcast in real time, so a highlight can be cut, captioned, and posted before the stream ends.

### Why do my reposted clips get fewer views on Reels?

Instagram tends to push down clips that carry another app's watermark, because it reads them as reposts. Cliphi exports a clean clip with no branding, so it is not treated that way.
