How to Download a Reddit Video With Sound (2026 Guide)
Reddit splits the video and the audio into two separate files — here's why your saved clips come out silent, and how to get one that actually has sound.

Why Reddit videos save without sound
When you save a Reddit video the quick way — right-clicking it, or using a screen grab — it almost always comes out silent. That's not a bug on your end. Reddit hosts videos on its own domain, v.redd.it, and stores the picture and the audio as two completely separate files.
The simple 'save video' methods only grab the video stream, so the audio track is left behind entirely. To get a clip with sound, you need a tool that fetches both files and stitches them back together into a single video.
How to download a Reddit video with sound
The reliable fix is a downloader that downloads both the video and audio streams and muxes (merges) them into one MP4. The steps are quick:
1) Open the Reddit post and copy its link — the Share button works, or just copy the post URL. 2) Paste it into a downloader that recombines the audio. 3) Choose MP4 and download. The file you get plays with sound on any device or video editor.
Tips for the best result
Use the full reddit.com post URL or the v.redd.it link — both work. Crossposts and shared links are fine as long as the original video is public; private or quarantined community videos can't be accessed.
If you only want the audio from the clip rather than the whole video, choose MP3 instead of MP4 and you'll get just the soundtrack.

Can I download a Reddit video with sound on mobile?+
Yes. Copy the post link from the Reddit app's Share menu and paste it into a browser-based downloader on your phone — no app needed.
