About this tool

Reddit hosts videos with its own player and (since the API changes) tightens access yearly. This downloader parses the post ID from your link, loads the official Reddit player/post on this page, and — from your browser, which Reddit's CORS rules treat differently than datacenter bots — attempts a direct fetch of the post's public JSON for title, author and cover. Honest note: Reddit's video files are split audio+video streams (DASH), so single-file MP4 ripping needs server-side merging — the reason so many Reddit downloaders churn and break. Your OWN content: Reddit's Data request export delivers your originals (and even then videos may come as separate streams). We keep the reliable half local.

FAQ

How do I download Reddit videos with audio?
Reddit stores video and audio as separate streams — that's why downloader sites run server-side mergers. This tool gives you the official player and post info locally; for your OWN posts, Reddit's data-request export provides your files.
Does the JSON info fetch always work?
From personal browsers it usually does; Reddit blocks datacenter traffic aggressively, and if the fetch is refused the tool says so honestly and opens the official post instead.
What about private or quarantined subreddits?
Not supported — accessing non-public content without permission is a privacy violation.
Is my link logged?
No — parsing happens in your browser; the only network call goes directly from you to reddit.com's public API.
