About RedVidDown
RedVidDown is an independent, free tool for downloading publicly available videos, GIFs, and gallery images from Reddit — with audio merged back in automatically.
Who We Are
RedVidDown is operated by a small independent web development team. We are not affiliated with Reddit Inc. in any way. We built this tool because we kept hitting the same wall ourselves: Reddit has no native download button, and the workarounds that existed produced silent videos, were buried in ads, or demanded sign-ups that no one should have to make.
We also build and operate several other social media download tools, including downloaders for Threads, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Pinterest. RedVidDown focuses on the one problem that trips up almost every other Reddit downloader — returning your video with its sound intact.
Questions or issues can be sent directly to our support address: dragoninfo13@gmail.com. We typically respond within 24 hours.
What RedVidDown Does
RedVidDown lets you paste any public Reddit post URL and download the media it contains — videos as MP4 with sound, GIFs as high-quality loops, images as JPEG or PNG, and full galleries as a ZIP file. Media is fetched directly from Reddit's content delivery network, so you get the original file at the resolution the creator uploaded, with no recompression or quality loss.
What We Do Not Do
We want to be explicit about this:
We do not store, cache, or retain any media you download. Videos are merged in memory and streamed straight to your browser, then discarded.
We do not collect personal information. No account, no email, and no name are required to use the tool.
We do not keep a history of the Reddit links you paste. Request data is not logged or retained after the response is sent.
We do not enable access to private or restricted content. Only publicly accessible posts can be processed.
We do not add watermarks, branding, or any modifications to downloaded files.
Responsible Use
RedVidDown is designed for legitimate personal use: saving your own posts for backup, downloading reference material for offline viewing, or repurposing content you created and own. We expect users to respect the rights of content creators and to comply with Reddit's content policy and community rules.
Downloading someone else's content and redistributing it commercially, stripping creator attribution, or using it in ways the creator has not consented to are not uses we endorse or support. If you are unsure whether a particular use is appropriate, err on the side of asking the creator's permission first.
If you are a content creator and believe your work is being misused, please reach out through our contact page and we will address your concern promptly.
How It Works Technically
The front end is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It talks to a backend service running as a Cloudflare Worker — a serverless function that runs at edge locations worldwide, which is why fetch times are usually fast no matter where you are.
When you paste a Reddit URL, the Worker retrieves the post's public metadata through Reddit's official API and identifies whether it is a video, GIF, gallery, or image. Reddit stores video and audio as two separate streams on v.redd.it, which is why so many other downloaders return silent clips. Our Worker downloads both streams and remuxes them into a single progressive MP4 — so the file you save has sound and plays everywhere, including messaging apps.
For gallery downloads, JSZip runs client-side in your browser. All images are fetched and assembled into a ZIP locally before the download is triggered — no ZIP file ever touches our servers. We also resolve common external hosts that Reddit posts link to, such as Imgur, Streamable, and RedGIFs.
