Does the Reddit video download include audio?

No. Reddit serves video and audio as separate streams and we do not merge them, so the file you get is video without the audio track.

Can I download a whole Reddit gallery post?

No. Gallery posts return the first image only.

Reddit downloader

Download public Reddit videos and media

The socials.download Reddit downloader saves supported public Reddit videos, images, and GIFs directly to your device. Paste a public Reddit post link and download the available file without creating a socials.download account. Note that Reddit serves video and audio as separate streams, so a downloaded video does not have the audio track merged in.

Supported Reddit link formats

https://www.reddit.com/r/<sub>/comments/<id>/<slug>/ — a post
https://v.redd.it/<id> — a direct Reddit video

Paste any of these on the home page.

Limitations

Reddit serves video and audio as separate streams. The video file is delivered without the audio track merged in.
Gallery posts return the first image only.
Private and quarantined communities are not supported.

Troubleshooting

The downloaded video has no sound.: This is the big one for Reddit. Reddit stores video and audio as separate files and we do not merge them, so the video arrives silent. If you need the audio you currently have to fetch and combine it yourself.
A gallery post only gave me one image.: Gallery posts return the first image only.
Nothing resolves.: Private, quarantined, and removed communities are not reachable.

Mobile and desktop

On desktop the file downloads straight to your downloads folder. On a phone, saving opens your device’s native share sheet so you can put the file in Photos or Files. Either way there’s no app to install and no socials.download account.

File quality and watermarks

socials.download does not add a watermark of its own and does not intentionally transcode or recompress the file returned by the source endpoint. Whether the file already carries Reddit or creator branding depends on the media Reddit serves.

Copyright and authorization

Download only content you own, have permission to save, or are otherwise legally entitled to use. socials.download does not bypass private accounts, paywalls, login walls, or DRM.
