How to Download Reddit Videos With Sound
Right-click-saving a v.redd.it video gives you silence. That's not a bug in your browser — Reddit splits audio and video. Here's how to get both in one file.
Why Reddit downloads are silent
Reddit serves video using DASH streaming: the picture and the sound are two separate files that the player stitches together live. When you save the video element from your browser, you only capture the video stream — the audio stream is a different URL entirely.
A proper Reddit downloader fetches both streams and merges them with ffmpeg on the server, so the MP4 you receive plays with sound in any player.
Step by step
- 1
Copy the post link
Tap Share on the Reddit post and choose "Copy link". Any format works — reddit.com, old.reddit.com, or a redd.it short link.
- 2
Paste into the downloader
Open the Reddit video downloader, paste the link, and press Download.
- 3
Download the merged MP4
Pick your quality. The file you get already has the audio track merged in — no editing needed.

The video I saved from Reddit has no sound — can I fix it?
Easiest fix: re-download it through a downloader that merges the streams. Manually combining the streams requires ffmpeg on your computer.
Do GIFs from Reddit have sound?
No — Reddit GIFs never had audio. If a clip plays sound on Reddit, it's a video and will download with sound here.
Why does my crosspost link fail?
Paste the link of the original post that hosts the video. Crosspost wrappers sometimes don't expose the media directly.
