Accepted URL formats

  • https://www.reddit.com/r/{sub}/s/...
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/{sub}/comments/{id}/...
  • https://redd.it/{id}

How do mobile /r/sub/s/ links differ from v.redd.it?

Tapping Copy link in the official Reddit mobile app produces a short https://www.reddit.com/r/subreddit/s/ShareCode link. Paste it directly into SMDownloader — our servers follow the redirect to the post and combine the video and audio tracks.

Common questions

Do modern Reddit /r/subreddit/s/ mobile share links work?

Yes. The Reddit iOS and Android apps generate /r/{sub}/s/{code} share links instead of full comment URLs. SMDownloader follows the redirect on our servers to find the canonical post.

Does the downloaded Reddit video include sound?

Yes. SMDownloader merges the v.redd.it H.264 video stream with its separate AAC stereo audio track so your saved MP4 plays with sound.

Can I also paste direct v.redd.it links on mobile?

Yes. Both /r/{sub}/s/{code} share links and direct v.redd.it/{id} video URLs resolve to the same post.
