Download a Reddit Video by Link, With the Sound
Copy the Reddit post link and paste it here. ScreenApp imports the video into your account with its audio intact, which is the part most Reddit downloaders get wrong, and you download the MP4 from there on a paid plan. The yearly Pro plan starts with a 7-day trial, so you can save a batch before the first payment. No app to install and no Reddit login.
If you have ever saved a Reddit video and played it back to silence, you are not doing anything wrong. That is Reddit’s own quirk, and it is worth understanding before you paste anything.

Why Reddit Videos Come Out Silent
Reddit hosts its videos on v.redd.it, and it stores the picture and the sound as two completely separate files. The video track is one URL, the audio track is another. A basic downloader grabs the video file, hands it to you, and never touches the audio, so you get a clean 1080p clip with no sound and no clue why.
This tool fetches both streams and muxes them back into one MP4. The audio is there. That is the whole reason to use this instead of right-clicking the video, which only ever gets you the silent half.
Not every Reddit video has audio in the first place, plenty are genuinely silent uploads. But when the original had sound, you get it.
Grab only the video file
Reddit stores the picture and the sound as two separate files. Saving just one gets you a silent clip.
Fetches both and joins them
The video and audio are combined into one MP4, so the clip plays with sound when the original had it.
How to Download a Reddit Video to MP4
- On the post, tap Share, then Copy link. On desktop, copy the post URL from the address bar. Either the full
reddit.com/r/...link or the shortredd.it/...share link works. - Paste it into the box on this page.
- Sign in with a free account. The video imports with its sound, and you download the MP4 on a paid plan, to Downloads on desktop or the Files app on a phone.
Paste the link to the post, not to the subreddit or a user profile. The post link is the one that points at the actual video.
The Ones That Trip People Up
Crossposts
The video usually lives on the original post. If the paste comes back empty, copy the source post link.
Reddit GIFs
Many are really MP4 videos, so they save as MP4, not .gif. That is the better format anyway.
NSFW Posts
Some sit behind an over-18 check that needs a login. If it will not load signed out, it will not download.
Private, Quarantined and Deleted
If you cannot open it without logging in or being a member, a downloader cannot reach it.

Who Saves Reddit Videos
People archiving a clip before the thread gets locked or the post gets removed, which on some subs happens fast. Meme accounts pulling source videos to repost to TikTok or Instagram. Researchers and journalists saving a video with the post link as a timestamped record before it disappears. And plenty of people who just want the funny clip on their phone, with the sound.
