From a link to your files.How to download Reddit videos
02
Drop it here
Paste the video link above. We’ll get your download ready.
03
Keep the moment
Preview your video, hit Download MP4, and you’re all set.
START WITH THE RIGHT LINK
Reddit video downloads with audio
Start with the Reddit post permalink when saving a Reddit-hosted video. The post provides context that can be missing from a copied preview-image or temporary media URL.
Some Reddit videos expose audio and video as separate tracks. IOdown combines compatible accessible tracks into one MP4 when both are available. Other posts embed media from an external host, so the original hosting service determines availability. A GIF-style silent source will not gain sound during download.
| Page type | URL or starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Video post | https://www.reddit.com/r/COMMUNITY/comments/POST_ID/TITLE/ | Choose the post permalink, not a thumbnail. |
Find the original media on Reddit, then copy the individual item’s link.
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAVING
Reddit downloads: format, quality and watermarks
A compatible MP4
Compatible video and audio tracks are packaged into an MP4 when available. The file does not include the surrounding post, comments or website interface. Still images are not converted into videos.
Source quality, not upscaling
Resolution depends on the versions the source provides. IOdown does not turn a low-resolution upload into HD or 4K. Missing or muted source audio cannot be recreated by downloading it.
No IOdown watermark added
The tool does not add its own branding to the file. Logos, captions and watermarks already embedded in the source remain. Downloading is different from editing or removing a watermark.
FROM THE BROWSER TO YOUR DEVICE
Save Reddit videos on your phone or computer
Keep this page open until processing finishes. Preview the result, then choose Download MP4 before the expiry time shown next to the file.
iPhone or iPad
Use your browser’s download action when the file opens. Check the browser’s downloads list and the Files app. If the share menu offers Save Video for a compatible video, you can also save it to Photos. Audio-only MP4 files belong in Files or an audio player.
Android
Confirm the browser’s download prompt, then check Downloads in your file manager. A saved video may also appear in your gallery. If it only opens in a player, use the browser or player menu to save the file.
Windows or Mac
Choose Download MP4 and use the browser’s download list to locate the file. If a player opens instead, use its save action. Keep the .mp4 extension and open the result in a compatible media player.
WHEN A LINK DOES NOT WORK
Reddit download troubleshooting
Start with this Reddit check
Reddit may reject anonymous server requests or ask for account authentication. If that happens, a public post can still fail even though it plays in your browser. Repeated retries do not supply an authenticated session.
- The link is rejected
- Use the full HTTPS page URL for one media item. Remove surrounding share-message text, but keep the media ID and any required query parameters. A profile, search page or direct file link is not the same as a media page.
- The source refuses access
- A public page can still be restricted by region, login requirements or server access checks. Your browser session is not shared with IOdown. Follow the specific error shown instead of repeatedly submitting the same link.
- Processing takes longer than expected
- Check whether progress is still moving. Long recordings and slow source hosts take more time. If the service asks you to wait because it is busy, wait before creating another request.
- The download link expired
- Prepared files are temporary. Submit the original media-page link again to request a new copy, provided the source is still accessible. The expiry shown with the result is the time to follow.

GOOD TO KNOW
Reddit downloader FAQ
Answers about links, files and availability.
Why does my downloaded Reddit video have no sound?
Preview the original post and the generated file. If the source is silent, audio has been removed, or no compatible audio track is accessible, the downloader cannot recreate it. If a separate accessible track is present, IOdown attempts to package it with the video.
How do I download from Reddit?
Copy the permalink to a Reddit post with a video. Image galleries and text posts are not videos; externally hosted clips depend on the original host. Paste the link above, select Get video, then save the available MP4 file once processing finishes.
Which Reddit links does IOdown support?
Copy the permalink to a Reddit post with a video. Image galleries and text posts are not videos; externally hosted clips depend on the original host. IOdown processes one item at a time when the source exposes a compatible MP4 or M4A stream. Bulk collections, live streams, DRM-protected media, and sign-in-only content are not supported.
Why is my Reddit download unavailable?
The Reddit item may have been deleted, made private, restricted by region, or protected by a login or DRM. Changes on Reddit can also break extraction. A listing is not a guarantee that a particular URL works.
Can I download Reddit videos as MP4 without an app?
You can request an available MP4 in your browser without installing an app or creating an IOdown account. Quality, audio, and watermarks depend on the source. This tool does not remove DRM, bypass access controls, or guarantee a particular resolution.
Can I save an entire Reddit playlist or live stream?
No. Paste an individual, completed media item from Reddit. Each request saves at most one file and is subject to file-size and server-capacity limits.
How long can I save my Reddit download?
The file is temporarily stored and normally removed 15 minutes after processing finishes. Check the expiry shown next to the download and save it before that time. Only download content you own or have permission to save.
What is the file size limit for Reddit downloads?
Each file is limited to 10 GiB. There is no overall download time limit. Availability depends on the source and the media format.
