How to Download Audio from Reddit Videos (Free MP3 Guide)

Reddit hosts an enormous amount of original video — clips creators post to their own subreddits, recorded discussions, and community videos that live nowhere else online. The catch: Reddit stores the video and audio as two separate files on its v.redd.it CDN, which is why right-clicking and "Save Audio" never works. This guide shows you how to pull a clean MP3 from any public Reddit video in a few seconds.

Quick answer: how to download audio from Reddit

Open the free Reddit Audio Downloader.
Copy the link to the Reddit post (Share → Copy Link).
Paste it into the tool and click Download MP3.
Click Save MP3 once it's ready.

No account, no browser extension, and nothing is stored on our servers after your download finishes.

Step-by-step guide

1. Find the Reddit post

Open the post that contains the video whose audio you want — a subreddit clip, a recorded discussion, or a video you posted yourself.

2. Copy the post link

Tap the Share icon under the post and choose Copy Link. Make sure the link contains /comments/ — that means it points to a specific post, not a subreddit.

3. Paste and download

Paste the link into the Reddit Audio Downloader and click Download. The tool fetches Reddit's separate audio stream and merges it into a standard MP3.

4. Save your MP3

Click Save MP3 to download the file to your device, ready to play in any music app.

Why does Reddit need a special tool?

Unlike YouTube or TikTok, Reddit's native video player loads video and audio from two different URLs and stitches them together in your browser. A normal screen recording or "save video" extension only grabs the video track — the audio is silent or missing entirely. Our tool fetches Reddit's actual audio stream directly, so you get real, clean sound rather than a workaround.

Tips for the best results

Use the post link, not the subreddit. A link like reddit.com/r/videos has no single video to extract — open the specific post first.
Shared links work fine. The short reddit.com/r/.../s/... app-share links and redd.it links are resolved automatically.
Public posts only. Private and quarantined communities can't be accessed by any tool, including this one.
Crossposts usually work, but the original post is the most reliable source if a crosspost link fails.

Is it legal to download audio from Reddit?

Saving audio for your own use from content you posted, or from public content you're licensed to use, is generally fine. What matters is respecting the original creator's rights — don't redistribute or monetize someone else's Reddit video without permission. Use this tool for your own recordings, community clips you have permission to use, or otherwise properly licensed content.
