How to download Reddit videos with sound

Reddit keeps a video’s picture and sound in separate files, so saving it the usual way gives a silent clip. Here’s how to get both in one MP4.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Copy the post’s link

    Tap Share on the post, then Copy link. Links from the app, old.reddit.com and redd.it all work.

  2. 2

    Paste it into FetchBolt

    Open the Reddit video downloader and paste the link into the box.

  3. 3

    Download the MP4

    Pick a quality and tap Download. FetchBolt joins the video and sound into one file.

Why Reddit videos lose their sound

Reddit streams video and audio as two separate files. Right-click saving or screen tools often grab only the video. FetchBolt fetches both and merges them, so the MP4 plays with sound everywhere.

GIFs and linked videos

GIF posts download as small looping MP4s. If a post links to YouTube or Streamable, paste either the Reddit link or the original one.

The tool for the job

Everything above uses the Reddit Video Downloader. MP4 with sound in every quality the post offers, up to 1080p.
