How to Download Reddit Videos With Audio

Reddit videos and audio are stored separately — learn how to download a combined Reddit video with audio in one click using ClipsDown.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Find the Reddit post with the video

    Navigate to the Reddit post that contains the video. This works for posts on old.reddit.com, new Reddit (reddit.com), and the Reddit app.

  2. 2

    Copy the post URL

    In the Reddit app, tap Share → Copy Link. On desktop, copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Make sure it is the full post URL, not just a video preview link.

  3. 3

    Paste into ClipsDown

    Open clipsdown.com/reddit in your browser. Paste the Reddit post URL into the input field and tap Download.

  4. 4

    Select quality and download

    ClipsDown automatically merges the separate Reddit video and audio streams — select your quality and tap Save. The combined MP4 downloads to your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Reddit videos downloaded elsewhere have no audio?

Reddit stores video (DASH) and audio as separate streams on their CDN. ClipsDown fetches and merges both server-side to produce a single MP4 with audio.

Does this work for r/ NSFW subreddits?

ClipsDown can download from NSFW subreddits if the post is publicly accessible without login. Age-gated content that requires Reddit login cannot be downloaded.

Can I download Reddit GIFs?

Reddit GIFs are actually silent MP4 videos. ClipsDown downloads them as MP4 files.

What about cross-posted videos (from YouTube, etc.)?

If the Reddit post embeds another platform's video, ClipsDown will use that source URL to fetch the content.
