Reddit videos are hosted on v.redd.it and have a known issue: the video and audio tracks are stored as separate files. Most simple download attempts capture video with no sound. This guide explains how to get Reddit videos with proper audio on Mac in 2026.
The Audio Problem Explained
Reddit splits video and audio into separate streams. A simple right-click Save Video does not merge them. You end up with a silent video. A proper tool merges the streams automatically.
Method: indirici.net
Step 1: Open the Reddit post with the video. Step 2: Click Share, then Copy Link. Or copy the URL from your address bar. Step 3: Open indirici.net in Safari or Chrome. Step 4: Paste the Reddit URL and click Save. Step 5: Select quality (720p or 1080p). Step 6: Click Download. File saves to your Downloads folder.
The downloaded MP4 includes both video and audio.
Video Quality on Reddit
1080p, 720p HD, 480p, 360p available depending on the original upload.
Works in Safari and Chrome
Both work on Mac. In Safari, the file may open in a new tab. Right-click the video and choose Save Video As.
Finding Your Files
Files appear in Finder under Downloads. Open with QuickTime Player, VLC, or IINA.
Troubleshooting on Mac
No audio: Try a different quality option. Safari does not start download: Check Safari Preferences > Websites > Downloads, allow indirici.net. Link expired: Re-extract by pasting the Reddit post URL again.
Conclusion
Reddit videos with audio are easy to save on Mac using indirici.net. The tool handles the audio merge automatically. Copy the post URL, paste into indirici.net, choose quality, and download.
