How to download Reddit videos with sound

Save a Reddit video the obvious way and you get silence: Reddit stores the picture and the audio as separate streams. ClipKoala merges them for you, so the file you save plays with sound in any player. Here is how.

Updated · 3 steps · about a minute

  1. Copy the post link

    On the post, tap Share and choose Copy link. Full reddit.com post links, mobile share links (reddit.com/r/.../s/...), redd.it short links, and direct v.redd.it links all work.

  2. Paste it into ClipKoala

    Paste the link on the Reddit downloader page. The post appears with its title, subreddit, and a preview thumbnail.

  3. Download the merged MP4

    Click Download Video. ClipKoala fetches the video and audio streams, merges them on the server, and streams the finished MP4 to your browser. The post title becomes the filename.

Good to know

  • Reddit GIFs are silent videos; they download as small MP4 files that loop cleanly
  • Crossposts work: paste the link you have and ClipKoala follows it to the original video
  • Posts in private or quarantined subreddits cannot be fetched

FAQ

Common questions

Why does my Reddit video have no sound when I save it normally?

Reddit's video host serves audio and video as two separate files. Saving the video file alone gives you silence. ClipKoala downloads both and merges them into one MP4.

Do I need a Reddit account?

No. Any publicly visible post can be fetched without logging in.

Can I download videos from a private subreddit?

No. Only posts that are publicly visible can be fetched.
