Why the video you saved has no sound
Almost every complaint about Reddit downloaders is the same one: the file plays, the picture is fine, and nothing comes out of the speakers. It is not a bug in the tool you used. It is what Reddit hands over.
When a video is uploaded to Reddit it is not stored as one file. It is split into a set of picture-only versions — one per resolution — with the sound kept apart from all of them. That is how streaming works everywhere now: your browser picks whichever resolution suits your connection, collects the sound separately, and plays the two in step.
Frequently asked questions
Why do other Reddit downloaders give me a video with no sound?
Because Reddit keeps a post’s picture and its sound as separate files, and those tools hand you the first one. A player collects both and plays them together; a downloader that stops at one gives you a silent clip. Putting them back into a single file is the step most tools skip.
Does merging the audio re-encode the video?
No. The two tracks are copied into one container without being decoded, so the picture that comes out is bit-for-bit the picture Reddit stored. Re-encoding would cost quality and time for no benefit.
Why does my share link from the Reddit app not work?
Reddit does not serve those short share links to anything but a browser. Open the post, use Copy link rather than Share, and paste the full reddit.com/r/…/comments/… address — that one works everywhere.
Can I download a Reddit gallery?
Not at the moment, and not for lack of trying. The only image Reddit exposes for a gallery post is a 140×93 thumbnail, and that thumbnail is itself refused to non-browser clients. Single-image posts work in full.
Do NSFW posts work?
Public NSFW posts behave like any other post. Quarantined subreddits and private communities do not, because their content is not served to anyone who is not logged in — and this site keeps no Reddit account.
What happens to a deleted post?
If the post is gone, the video usually is too. Reddit removes the media alongside the post, so a deleted link returns nothing rather than an orphaned file. Saved links stop working at the same moment the post does.
Is downloading from Reddit legal?
Saving a publicly posted video for your own viewing is ordinary use, and the same act as your browser caching it. Redistributing someone else’s work, or using it commercially, is a separate question with a separate answer, and one that has nothing to do with which tool you used. Reddit’s own terms also restrict automated collection of its content at scale — this is a per-link tool, not a scraper.
Does old.reddit.com work?
Yes, along with new.reddit.com, np.reddit.com, m.reddit.com and the short redd.it/ID form. They all carry the same post id, which is the only part that matters.
