The most common complaint about saving Reddit videos is that they come out silent. That's not a bug in the downloader — it's how Reddit works. Reddit hosts the video and the audio as two separate streams, so a tool that grabs only the video gives you a muted clip.
ReelsDownloader and the dedicated Reddit downloader fix this by fetching both streams and merging them into a single MP4 with the sound intact. Here's how.
How to download a Reddit video with sound
- Open the Reddit post that has the video.
- Tap Share, then Copy link (in the app), or copy the post URL from your browser's address bar on desktop.
- Open ReelsDownloader and paste the link into the box.
- Press Download. The tool pulls the video and audio tracks and combines them.
- Save the merged MP4 — it plays with full sound on any device.
Why the "with sound" part matters
If you've ever downloaded a Reddit clip only to find it silent, you already know the frustration. Because ReelsDownloader merges the tracks server-side before handing you the file, you never have to deal with separate audio files or third-party merging apps. One paste, one download, sound included.
Getting the best result
- Use the post link, not a screenshot or a crosspost — the original post exposes both streams reliably.
- Very new posts occasionally take a few seconds for Reddit to finish processing the audio track. If a clip comes out silent, wait a minute and try again.
- Old or deleted posts may have had their media removed by Reddit; those cannot be recovered.
Keep it respectful
Save videos for personal offline viewing, or ones you have permission to reuse. Don't re-upload other people's content as your own. ReelsDownloader only works with public posts, so nothing private is ever exposed.
Try it now
Paste any public Reddit video link into ReelsDownloader and get it back with sound in seconds — free, no login, no app. The same box also saves videos from Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, and more.
