Frequently Asked Questions

Copy the Reddit post URL from your browser or the share menu, paste it into the download field above, and click Download. You'll see options for the video file, audio track, and thumbnail.

Reddit stores video and audio as separate streams (DASH format). Download both the video and audio files separately using the provided buttons. To combine them, use a free tool like ffmpeg or an online video merger. This is a Reddit platform limitation, not a bug.

You can download Reddit-hosted videos (v.redd.it), images (i.redd.it), GIFs, and gallery post images. Text-only posts and external links (like YouTube or Imgur embeds) are not directly downloadable.

We support standard Reddit post URLs (reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/...), short links (redd.it/...), old Reddit URLs (old.reddit.com/...), and direct v.redd.it video links.

No. We never ask for your Reddit credentials. The tool works with publicly accessible posts only, using SSL encryption. We don't store personal data or downloaded files.

Private subreddit posts require authentication and cannot be downloaded. Publicly accessible NSFW posts from age-gated subreddits may work depending on the post's visibility settings.

Reddit is available starting from the Basic plan ($4.99/mo). Free plan users have access to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. Check the Pricing page for the full platform and feature breakdown.

We download the highest available quality, typically up to 1080p depending on the original upload. Reddit caps video uploads at 1080p resolution.

Currently, we download the first image from gallery posts. Full gallery batch download support is planned for a future update.

Downloading your own posts is generally permitted for personal use. GetVideoNow is built for creators who want to back up or repurpose their own content. Redistributing others' content without permission may violate copyright law.

This usually means the post has been deleted or removed, the subreddit is private, the post is text-only with no media, or Reddit's servers temporarily returned an error. Try refreshing the page and attempting again.

Reddit's video and audio are stored as separate files at different URLs under the v.redd.it CDN. If you copy the video URL directly from the player, you get only the video stream — the audio stream is a different URL that is not visible in the player. GetVideoNow needs the full Reddit post URL (reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/...) to find and merge both streams together. Copying the direct video URL will result in a silent download every time, regardless of which tool you use.

About Reddit Downloads

Reddit is a network of communities covering virtually every topic imaginable, with over 100,000 active subreddits and more than 50 million daily active users. Reddit's native video player (hosted at v.redd.it) hosts millions of clips ranging from news footage and gaming moments to comedy sketches and science demonstrations. Because Reddit stores video and audio in separate streams, standard right-click saving often fails — GetVideoNow automatically merges both streams and delivers a complete MP4 with sound.

What You Can Download from Reddit

Reddit Native Videos (v.redd.it)

Download videos hosted directly on Reddit (v.redd.it links) with audio included. Reddit's separate video/audio streams are automatically merged into one MP4.

Reddit GIFs & Gifv

Save Reddit GIFs and animated images as MP4 files — cleaner and smaller than the original GIF format while preserving all the motion.

Crossposted Videos

Download crossposted Reddit videos from any subreddit using the original post URL, regardless of which community shared it.

Videos with Original Audio

Reddit's video format splits audio and video into separate files. GetVideoNow fetches and merges both so you always get a complete video with sound.

How to Copy a Reddit Link

  1. 1Find the Reddit video post you want to download — look for the native Reddit video player (not YouTube embeds).
  2. 2Click Share beneath the post.
  3. 3Select Copy Link from the share options to copy the post URL.
  4. 4On mobile, tap the Share button on the post and choose Copy Link.
  5. 5Paste the URL into the input field above and tap Download.
  6. 6Note: External video embeds (YouTube, Twitch clips, etc.) cannot be downloaded via this tool — use the respective platform downloader instead.

Troubleshooting Reddit Downloads

Downloaded video has no sound

Reddit stores audio and video in separate streams. The tool merges them automatically, but some Reddit posts genuinely have no audio track. If the Reddit player shows no volume icon, the original post was uploaded without sound.

"Not a Reddit video" error

The post may contain an embedded YouTube, Imgur, or Streamable link rather than a native Reddit video (v.redd.it). Use the appropriate platform downloader for external embeds.

Crosspost URL doesn't work

Try copying the URL of the original post instead of the crosspost. Click through to the original subreddit post and copy that URL directly.

NSFW content won't download

Some NSFW subreddits require Reddit login to view content. If the post page shows an age-verification wall in your browser, the content cannot be accessed without authentication.

Reddit video downloads work for native v.redd.it content. Videos embedded from external platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) must be downloaded using those platforms' dedicated downloaders.
