Save a Reddit Video, With the Sound
Copy the Reddit post link, paste it here, download the MP4. No app, no login, and the file comes back with its audio, which is the part most Reddit downloaders get wrong.
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.
How to Download a Reddit Video
- 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.
- Download. The MP4 saves to your device, 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. If you are on a crosspost, the video usually lives on the original post it was shared from. If the paste comes back empty, open the source post and copy that link instead.
- Reddit GIFs. Half the “GIFs” on Reddit are actually MP4 videos, so they download as MP4, not
.gif. That is normal and it is the better format anyway. - NSFW posts. Some are gated behind an over-18 check that needs a logged-in session. The tool reads a public request, so a post that will not load for a signed-out visitor will not download either.
- Private, quarantined, and deleted. Private subreddits, quarantined communities, and deleted posts are out. If you cannot open it in a browser 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.
For other platforms, the same paste-a-link flow has its own page: the TikTok video downloader, the Instagram video downloader, the Twitter video downloader, and the video downloader hub for 1000+ sites from one box. To turn any raw video URL into a direct MP4, use the link to MP4 converter. If you only want the sound from a clip, extract audio from videos pulls it as MP3.
FAQ
Why does my downloaded Reddit video have no sound?
Because Reddit stores the video and audio as two separate files, and most downloaders only grab the video one. This tool fetches both and combines them, so the MP4 keeps its audio. If a clip is still silent, the original upload had no sound to begin with.
How do I download a Reddit video?
Copy the post link with Share, then Copy link (or from the address bar on desktop), paste it into the downloader here, and download the MP4. No app to install and no Reddit login needed for public posts.
Can I download an NSFW Reddit video?
Only if it loads for a signed-out visitor. Many NSFW posts sit behind an over-18 gate that needs a logged-in session, and the tool reads a public request, so those will not pull from a link. Content you have to log in to see is out.
Does it work on the Reddit app link?
Yes. The Share, then Copy link option in the mobile app gives a redd.it short link, and that works. So does the full post URL from the desktop site.
What quality do I get?
The MP4 comes back at the resolution Reddit served for that post, up to 1080p on newer uploads, lower on older ones. Reddit re-encodes uploads, so you get what the platform holds, not the uploader’s original master.
Is it free?
The first few downloads are free to try. Unlimited use runs $19/month on the annual plan, with no credit card to start.
Can I download a whole Reddit thread of videos at once?
No. It handles one post URL at a time. For a batch, paste each post link in turn.
