Reddit Downloader FAQ
Why does my downloaded Reddit video have no sound?
Reddit's video host, v.redd.it, stores video and audio as two separate DASH files. curl-x currently returns the video-only fallback_url like most simple downloaders, so gameplay clips and meme videos with real audio download silent — it isn't a bug, it's how Reddit stores the file, and we'd rather say so than promise audio we don't merge yet.
Does curl-x download Reddit image galleries?
Yes — multi-image gallery posts are extracted with each photo listed as its own downloadable file, plus single images and GIFs from i.redd.it.
Can curl-x reach private or quarantined subreddits?
No. Quarantined, private, and restricted-access subreddits aren't reachable through Reddit's public JSON endpoints, so no downloader — curl-x included — can extract from them.
Is downloading public Reddit videos legal?
Saving a public post for personal, offline viewing is generally fine; reposting someone else's content as your own raises separate copyright and subreddit-rule questions you should check yourself.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes, the Reddit app's share sheet gives you a copyable link on both iPhone and Android, and curl-x works the same in any mobile browser.
Is there a CLI way to grab a Reddit post?
Yes — curl -OJ https://www.curl-x.com/r/<subreddit>/comments/<postId> downloads the file directly from a terminal.
