How to Download Reddit Videos (With Sound, 2026)

If you've ever tried to download a Reddit video and ended up with a silent clip, you've met Reddit's quirk: it stores the picture and the sound as two completely separate files. Most quick downloaders grab only the video, so the audio vanishes. Here's how to save a Reddit video the right way — one clean MP4, with sound — free and in under a minute.

Why Reddit videos lose their sound #

Reddit hosts videos on v.redd.it using a streaming format where the video track and audio track are separate. A proper download has to fetch both and merge them. That's the whole difference between a downloader that gives you a usable clip and one that hands you a mute video. The converter at linksconverter.com does the merge automatically, so you never get a silent file.

The quick way: paste a link, get an MP4 with sound #

Under a minute:

1. Copy the post's link — tap Share → Copy link (or copy the URL from your browser).
2. Paste it at linksconverter.com.
3. Pick a quality and download. You get one MP4 — video and audio together.

The file deletes itself from the server after two hours.

On your phone (iPhone or Android) #

Nothing to install — it works in your browser:

1. In the Reddit app, tap Share → Copy link on the post.
2. Open your browser and go to linksconverter.com.
3. Paste and download. On iPhone the MP4 saves to Files; on Android it lands in Downloads.

That skips the sketchy "Reddit video downloader" sites that bury the real button under pop-ups — and often drop the audio anyway.

Quality and what to expect #

Reddit videos come in whatever resolution the uploader posted — often up to 720p or 1080p. The tool offers the available qualities; pick the highest unless you want a smaller file. A downloader can't exceed the original, so a low-res post stays low-res.

GIFs: what looks like a GIF on Reddit is frequently a short silent MP4 — it downloads the same way, just without an audio track to merge.

Is it legal to download a Reddit video? #

Saving a public video for your own offline use — to rewatch, to keep, to study an edit — is everyday, low-risk behaviour. Many Reddit videos are themselves reposts, so the original creator may be elsewhere; don't re-upload a clip as your own or use it commercially without permission. Keep saves personal and credit creators when you can.

Common problems #

• Silent download from another tool — that tool skipped the separate audio track. Use one that merges, like the converter at linksconverter.com.
• "Post unavailable" — it's in a private or banned subreddit, or was deleted.
• External video — some Reddit posts just embed a YouTube or other link; in that case, paste the original source URL instead.

One tool, every platform #

The same paste-a-link flow handles YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, SoundCloud audio and 1000+ more sites.
