Reddit Video Downloader

Many Reddit posts link out to YouTube, TikTok, or other sites. This page is for Reddit-hosted video (v.redd.it). If the post only embeds another platform, paste that platform’s URL instead, or use the matching downloader page.

How to use the Reddit downloader

  1. Copy the Reddit post URL or the v.redd.it link.
  2. Paste it above.
  3. If Reddit hosts the video, pick a quality.
  4. Download the merged video when audio is provided separately.

Desktop and mobile

Copy the post URL or the v.redd.it media link. On the Reddit app, use Share → Copy. If the post only embeds YouTube or TikTok, paste that platform’s URL instead.

URL types this page can try

  • https://www.reddit.com/r/…/comments/…
  • https://v.redd.it/…

Supported formats

Reddit often splits video and audio. The downloader requests a combined file when both tracks exist.

Media types this page focuses on: video, audio.

Exact qualities depend on the source. YTSave lists what Reddit currently exposes for that URL.

Limitations

  • Removed, quarantined, or private subreddit posts will fail.
  • Image galleries and text posts are not video downloads.
  • External embeds should be downloaded via their own URL.

Troubleshooting

  • Removed, quarantined, or private-subreddit posts fail.
  • If the player on Reddit looks like YouTube, use the YouTube downloader with the YouTube URL.
  • Choose a combined format when Reddit lists separate video and audio tracks.

Reddit-hosted vs embedded

If the player on Reddit shows a YouTube or Streamable UI, copy that provider’s URL rather than the Reddit comments link.

Frequently asked questions

The Reddit post plays YouTube. Why did this fail?

Reddit is only hosting an embed. Use the YouTube URL, or the YouTube downloader page.

Why is there no sound?

Some Reddit sources separate audio. If a combined format is listed, choose that. If Reddit did not provide audio, it cannot be invented here.
