How to download Reddit videos
- Step 1
Copy the link
Tap Share on the post, then Copy link. Links from old.reddit.com and redd.it work too.
- Step 2
Paste it above
Paste the link in the box at the top of this page and press Download. FetchBolt finds the video and its formats.
- Step 3
Choose and save
Pick a quality and tap Download. The file saves to your device.
What you get
MP4 with sound in every quality the post offers, up to 1080p.
Reddit hosts video and sound as separate files, so saving a Reddit video the usual way gives you a silent clip. FetchBolt merges both into one MP4.
GIF posts and videos hosted on other sites linked from Reddit (like YouTube or Streamable) work too; paste the Reddit link or the original one.
Save it on any device
iPhone and iPad
Open FetchBolt in Safari, paste the Reddit link and tap Download. The MP4 saves to Files → Downloads; tap it, then Share → Save Video to put it in Photos.
Android
Paste the link in Chrome or any browser and tap Download. The MP4 lands in Downloads and shows up in your gallery automatically.
Windows, Mac and Linux
Copy the link from the address bar or Share button and paste it above. The MP4 saves to your Downloads folder in any browser, with nothing to install.
Troubleshooting and safety
The download doesn’t work. What can I do?
Check that the video plays for everyone: private posts, age-restricted content and anything that needs you to sign in can’t be downloaded, and FetchBolt tells you if a video was removed or is region-locked. Copy the link with the app’s Share button and paste it on its own. If Reddit is limiting traffic for a moment, wait a minute and try again. Large files take longer to prepare, and the button shows the progress while they do.
Is FetchBolt safe to use?
FetchBolt runs in your browser: no app, no extension and no sign-up, and it never asks for your Reddit password. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted, and we don’t keep a history of your links. The only buttons that download anything are the ones in the FetchBolt card, next to each quality.

Do I need to install anything?
No. FetchBolt runs in your browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
Do you keep the videos I download?
No. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted. We don’t keep a history of your links.
