What is a Reddit video downloader?
What you can do
Public Reddit video posts: Works with supported public reddit.com / redd.it post links when Reddit exposes progressive MP4 (or GIF) media.
Choose a quality: When several MP4 variants are available, pick the size you need. Formats and resolutions depend on the source.
Save without re-encoding: Download the source MP4 Reddit already hosts. This tool does not add a watermark.
No account required: Open the page, paste a link, and download in the browser. There is no sign-in wall.
How to download Reddit videos as MP4
Paste the Reddit URL
In Reddit, open the video or GIF post, copy its share link or browser URL, then paste it above.
Find download links
Choose Find videos. The resolver reads the public post and lists available MP4 qualities.
Choose and download
Pick an available quality and download before the media link expires. On a phone, check the browser Downloads list.
Tips before you start
- 01
Use a public link
Private, removed, and login-walled posts cannot be resolved. Open the link while signed out to confirm it is public.
- 02
Audio may be separate
Reddit often hosts video and audio as separate files. Some progressive downloads are video-only. If sound is missing, the source did not expose a muxed MP4.
- 03
Links expire
Resolved media URLs can expire. Find the video again if a download stops working.
- 04
Permission matters
Download only content you own or have permission to save. Respect the creator’s rights and Reddit’s terms.
When to use it
Archive your own public clip
Save a copy of a video you posted when Reddit’s in-app save flow is awkward.
Reuse a clip you have rights to
Grab an available MP4 quality for editing when you already have permission to use the footage.
Keep a GIF post as MP4
When Reddit serves an animated post as MP4, download that source file for editing or archival.
Why this tool
No sign-in
Paste a public link and download. There is no account wall.
Quality list from the source
MP4 options appear only when Reddit exposes them for that public post.
Video-focused
Built for Reddit-hosted video and animated posts, not image-only threads.
Technical details
- Public post lookup
- The server tries Reddit’s public post JSON first, then falls back to the public HTML page and the v.redd.it DASH manifest for progressive CMAF MP4 qualities.
- Optional download gateway
- If native lookup fails and a Cobalt-compatible gateway is configured, the tool can fall back to that resolver.
- Proxied download
- Download streams the chosen CDN URL through our allowlisted media proxy so the browser receives an attachment response.
- Size cap
- Remote media downloads are capped at 50 MB per file.
