Reddit Video Downloader — Save v.redd.it Clips with Audio

Download Reddit videos (v.redd.it) as MP4 with the audio track merged back in. Reddit requires a signed-in session to serve its videos, so link your Reddit account once and TubePull handles the rest.

How to download a Reddit video

  1. Link your Reddit account. Reddit only serves its videos to a signed-in session — this is a Reddit policy, not a TubePull limit. Open your TubePull account page and connect your Reddit account (or paste an exported cookies.txt as a fallback). Linking is free, takes about ten seconds, and you only do it once. You can disconnect any time.
  2. Copy the Reddit post URL. Open the Reddit post that contains the video and copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Both the full reddit.com/r/<subreddit>/comments/... permalink and the short v.redd.it/<id> link work.
  3. Paste it into TubePull and download. Paste the URL into the download box at the top of this page and pick MP4 (video with audio) or MP3 (audio only). TubePull's worker pulls both the video and audio streams over an authenticated residential session and muxes them into a single file, then delivers it to your downloads folder.

About the TubePull Reddit Downloader

Reddit hosts video on its own CDN (v.redd.it) and splits every clip into a separate video stream and audio stream that the Reddit player stitches back together at play time. That is why the "download" links floating around other tools so often hand you a silent MP4 — they grab the video rendition and miss the audio. TubePull's worker pulls both streams and muxes them into a single MP4 with sound intact, the way the clip played in the thread.

As of 2026 Reddit's extractor is auth-gated: Reddit only serves the underlying video to a request that carries a valid signed-in session. This is a Reddit policy, not a TubePull paywall — no third-party tool can pull a Reddit video without an authenticated session. To keep working within that rule, TubePull lets you link your Reddit account once. We store an encrypted session credential and the worker uses it only to fetch the specific clips you request. You can disconnect at any time from your account page.

Linking is free and available on every tier. It takes about ten seconds: connect from your TubePull account page (or paste an exported cookies.txt as a fallback), then paste any Reddit post URL.

What works

  • Reddit posts backed by a v.redd.it video, pasted as the normal reddit.com/r/<sub>/comments/... permalink or the short v.redd.it/<id> URL
  • Video with the audio track merged back into a single MP4
  • MP3 audio extraction — pick MP3 in the output picker for audio-only output
  • Crossposts that point at an underlying v.redd.it source

What does not work

  • Private or quarantined subreddits your linked account can't view
  • Posts that link out to YouTube or other hosts — paste the original host URL instead (TubePull supports those directly)
  • Deleted or removed posts where Reddit no longer serves the source
  • Downloads while your Reddit link is expired or needs reconnecting — the app will prompt you to relink

Frequently asked questions

Can TubePull download Reddit videos?
Yes. Paste a Reddit post URL (or a v.redd.it link) into the box at the top of this page and TubePull saves the clip as an MP4 with the audio track merged back in, or as an MP3 if you only want the sound. Reddit serves its videos only to a signed-in session, so you link your Reddit account once first — it's free and takes about ten seconds.
Why do I have to link my Reddit account?
As of 2026 Reddit's video servers require an authenticated session — Reddit will not hand a v.redd.it video to an anonymous request. This is a Reddit policy, not a TubePull paywall, and it applies to every third-party downloader. TubePull stores an encrypted session credential and uses it only to fetch the specific clips you request. You can disconnect at any time from your account page.
Does the download include audio?
Yes. Reddit splits every clip into a separate video stream and audio stream that the player stitches together at play time, which is why so many other tools hand you a silent MP4. TubePull pulls both streams and muxes them into a single MP4 with sound intact.
Do I need a paid plan to download from Reddit?
No. Reddit downloads are available on every tier once your Reddit account is linked. The linked session is what satisfies Reddit's sign-in policy; it is separate from any TubePull Pro/Unlimited plan.
It says my Reddit link needs reconnecting — what do I do?
Reddit sessions expire over time, and a failed authenticated fetch flips your link to a 'reconnect needed' state. Open your TubePull account page and reconnect your Reddit account (or re-import a fresh cookies.txt). Once the link is active again, paste the URL and download as normal.
