Download Kick Clips on iPhone and iPad (Safari, Files, Photos)

To download a Kick clip on an iPhone, copy the clip's link, paste it into a downloader such as KickClips in Safari, save the MP4, and then find it in the Files app. If you want it in your Photos library, open the file from Files, tap the Share button, and choose Save Video.

The part that confuses most people is not the download itself. It is that iOS keeps downloaded files in Files, not in Photos, until you move them. This guide covers each step and the common snags.

A quick note on testing

We built and tested KickClips in desktop Chrome on Windows. We have not tested it on iPhone Safari, so the steps below describe how Safari and iOS generally handle downloads rather than results we recorded on a specific iPhone model or iOS version. Menu names can differ slightly between iOS versions. If something does not match your screen, the idea is the same: find the downloaded file, then share or save it.

If a long clip fails on your phone, the browser may have run out of memory while preparing the file. Trying the same link on a computer is the fallback (PC and Mac guide).

What you need

• An iPhone or iPad running a reasonably recent version of iOS or iPadOS.
• Safari (the built-in browser). Other browsers may work, but Safari has the most predictable download handling on iOS.
• A public Kick clip link. Subscriber-only, private and deleted clips will not work.
• Enough free storage. As a rough guide from our desktop tests, a 30-second clip was about 35 MB and a 60-second clip about 49 to 77 MB. Clips on Kick can be up to 180 seconds.

Step 1: Copy the clip link

You can copy the link from the Kick app or from kick.com in a browser.

1. Open the clip on Kick.
2. Use the clip's share option or copy the address from the browser's address bar. If you are not sure what to copy, see Kick clip link formats.
3. Check that it looks like https://kick.com/channelname/clips/clip_XXXX or https://kick.com/channelname?clip=clip_XXXX.

If the link is for a channel, a live stream or a VOD, it is not a clip link and the download will not work.

Step 2: Paste it into KickClips

1. Open Safari and go to kickclips.cz.
2. Tap the input box and paste the link (tap and hold, then choose Paste).
3. Tap Download.
4. Wait for the preview to appear. This usually takes a few seconds, but it depends on your connection and how long the clip is.
5. Tap Save MP4.

KickClips runs in your browser. The clip file and the link are not uploaded to or stored on KickClips servers; your browser fetches the video from Kick directly. No account or app is needed.

Step 3: Let Safari download the file

When you save the file, Safari normally shows a confirmation asking whether you want to download it. Tap Download.

Safari then shows a small download icon (a circle with an arrow) in the toolbar. Tap it to see progress and open the file. Do not close Safari or lock the phone until the download completes, especially for longer clips, because the browser may pause work in the background.

Step 4: Find the clip in the Files app

By default, Safari saves downloads to the Downloads folder in the Files app. To find yours:

1. Open Files.
2. Tap Browse, then iCloud Drive or On My iPhone, and open Downloads.
3. Tap the clip to play it.

If you cannot find it, tap the download icon in Safari again, which lists recent downloads. You can change the download location in iPhone Settings under Safari, in the Downloads option.

Step 5: Save the clip to Photos

A file in Files is not in your camera roll. To move it:

1. In Files, tap the clip to open the preview.
2. Tap the Share button (a square with an arrow).
3. Choose Save Video.
4. Open the Photos app. The clip will appear in your library, usually in Recents.

You can also touch and hold the file in Files, choose Share, and pick Save Video from there.

If you do not see Save Video, the file may not have finished downloading, or it may not be a valid video. Try downloading it again, or play it in Files first to confirm it works.

Where the "Save Video" option does not help

• Cloud storage. If your Downloads folder is in iCloud Drive and the file is only a placeholder, tap it first to download the full copy before sharing.
• Very large files. Saving to Photos copies the video, so you need free space for both the file in Files and the copy in Photos. Delete the Files copy afterward if you no longer need it.
• Unsupported formats. Kick clips are MP4, which Photos handles. Problems here usually mean an incomplete download.

Common problems on iPhone

The Save MP4 button does nothing. Reload the page and try again. If it still fails, try a shorter clip to see whether the problem is memory. A long clip needs more free memory in the browser than a short one.

The download starts but the file will not play. Delete it and download again over a stable connection. Do not switch apps mid-download.

The link is rejected. Check it against the accepted link formats. Also confirm the clip is public and still exists: only the channel owner can delete clips, so it may have been removed.

Kick's own Download button. Kick's help center says clips can be downloaded when viewed and save as .mp4 (Kick: how to create clips). Whether that button appears in a mobile browser or in the Kick app can vary, and we have not tested it on iPhone. If it works for you, the file will land in the same Downloads folder in Files.

Respect the creator

Saving a clip to watch later is one thing. Posting it on your own account is another. Copyright usually stays with the creator, so ask permission and credit the streamer if you plan to share. This is general information, not legal advice; see Is it legal to download Kick clips?.
