Download Reddit videos with the audio properly merged into one MP4. Fixes the silent-video problem caused by Reddit DASH streaming. Free, no signup.
Reddit videos download without sound because Reddit uses DASH streaming, which stores the picture and the audio as two separate files on v.redd.it. This tool fetches both and muxes them into a single MP4. Muxing copies the streams into one container without re-encoding, so the merged file loses no quality.
If you have ever saved a Reddit video and found it plays perfectly but silently, this is why: Reddit stores the picture and the sound as two completely separate files, and a normal download only grabs the first one. This tool fetches both and merges them into a single MP4. The merge copies the streams rather than re-encoding them, so the file you get has the same quality as the source — it just has its audio back.
Tap Share on the post and choose Copy link, or copy the URL from your browser. Post links work better than bare v.redd.it links because they carry the reference to the audio track.
Reddit is detected automatically. old.reddit.com, np.reddit.com and redd.it short links all work.
Pick your resolution. Every option listed as "with audio" has already been muxed — you do not need to combine anything yourself.
We fetch Reddit's separate audio file and mux it into the MP4 alongside the video. This is the step generic downloaders skip, and it is the reason they hand you a silent clip.
Merging copies both streams into a single container without decoding them. The output is bit-for-bit what Reddit serves, so nothing softens and nothing takes minutes to process.
Media on a crosspost actually lives on the original submission. We follow the chain back to the source so crosspost links work exactly like originals.
old.reddit.com, new.reddit.com, np.reddit.com, redd.it short links and direct v.redd.it URLs are all resolved to the same post.
DASH means Reddit keeps several renditions of each video. We list all of them with real file sizes so you can pick quality against size deliberately.
Nothing to install and nothing to sign into. We never ask for a Reddit login, and no legitimate downloader needs one for public posts.

Reddit hosts video using DASH, a streaming format that deliberately splits a video into pieces. Instead of one self-contained file, Reddit stores several video-only renditions at different resolutions plus a single audio-only file, and a small manifest describing how they fit together. The player reads the manifest, picks a video rendition appropriate to your connection, and plays it in sync with the audio file. This is efficient for streaming, because the player can switch resolution mid-playback without interrupting the sound.
The side effect is that no complete video file exists on Reddit's servers to download. When you right-click and save, or point a generic tool at a v.redd.it URL, you retrieve exactly one thing: a video-only rendition. It plays fine and it is completely silent, because the audio was never part of that file. This catches out an enormous number of people, and it is why "reddit video no sound" is such a common search.
Putting them back together is called muxing, and it is worth understanding that it is not the same as re-encoding. Re-encoding decodes both streams and compresses them again, which costs time and loses quality. Muxing simply writes the existing compressed streams into a single MP4 container, untouched. It takes a moment, and the result is mathematically identical to the source — the same picture, the same audio, now in one file.
A word of honesty: not every silent Reddit video is a broken download. Plenty of clips are uploaded with no audio track at all, particularly screen recordings and content crossposted from elsewhere. If the format list here shows no audio option for a given post, Reddit genuinely has none to give.
The same Reddit post, downloaded two ways.
| Right-click / generic downloader | Merged download here | |
|---|---|---|
| Video stream | Yes | Yes |
| Audio stream | Missing | Fetched and merged |
| Plays with sound | No | Yes |
| Re-encoded | No | No — muxed, not re-encoded |
| Quality vs. source | Identical | Identical |
| Container | MP4 | MP4 |
| Works with crossposts | Often fails | Yes |
Reddit stores video and audio as two separate files under DASH streaming. A direct save fetches only the video file. The audio sits at a different URL and has to be fetched and merged separately, which is what this tool does.
No. Muxing copies both compressed streams into one MP4 container without decoding them. There is no re-encoding step, so the output matches the source exactly.
Because that post genuinely has no audio track. Screen recordings and certain crossposts are uploaded silent. We only list an audio option when Reddit actually has one.
The post link. A bare v.redd.it URL sometimes lacks the reference needed to locate the matching audio file, so using the full post URL is more reliable.
Yes. The media lives on the original submission rather than the crosspost, so we follow the link back to the source automatically.
Yes. The format list includes an audio-only M4A option, which is the raw audio stream Reddit stores, extracted without re-encoding.
Yes. old.reddit.com, new.reddit.com, np.reddit.com and redd.it short links all resolve to the same post.
Publicly viewable posts work regardless of their NSFW flag. Posts inside private or quarantined subreddits do not, because those require an approved account.
No. The merge happens on our side and you receive a finished MP4. There is nothing to install and no extension to add.
No. Media streams from Reddit through the merge and on to your device. Nothing is retained and we keep no record of submitted links.
We do not host any content. All files are fetched directly from the source platform and streamed to your device — nothing is stored on our servers. Download only content you own or have permission to use. If you believe content has been made available in breach of your rights, see our copyright policy.
