How to Download a Coub as MP4 with Sound
A coub is a looped video with a separate audio track, so “Save video” in the browser gives you a silent file. Skachok merges the coub into a single MP4 with sound from a coub.com/view/… link — free and with no software.
For example: https://coub.com/view/2n5z8
How to download — step by step
- 1
Copy the coub link
Open the coub on coub.com and copy the address from the browser bar — coub.com/view/2n5z8. In the app, tap “Share” → “Copy link”.
Tip: From the feed and the “Best” section you can also grab the link via the “Share” icon under the coub — no need to open it separately.
- 2
Paste the link into Skachok
Paste the link into the field on the home page and click “Find”. We show a preview and a “Video (MP4)” option — the coub with sound — plus MP3 if you only need the music.
Tip: Coub stores small clips, usually up to 720p — plenty for social networks and messengers.
- 3
Download the file
Click “Download”. We merge the video and audio on the server and send the finished MP4 to your Downloads. Every Coub quality is free — 3 downloads a day without an account, 5 with a free account.
Tip: A coub with sound is small — usually a few megabytes — and downloads in seconds even on mobile data.
Why download coubs
Coubs are the perfect format for memes and reactions, but they don't live outside coub.com: a link makes you open the site, and a saved video is silent.
- Send a coub to Telegram or WhatsApp as a regular video with sound.
- Keep your favourite coubs — the platform has already announced a shutdown once, and user collections were at risk.
- Use it in editing: an MP4 with sound opens in any video editor.
- Watch offline, without the feed and ads.
Supported links
Any of these links will do — the full one from the browser or the short one from the app’s Share button.

Profile or channel links (coub.com/username) don't work — you need a specific coub
On your phone and computer
On iPhone
In Safari, paste the link and tap “Download”. The MP4 lands in Files → Downloads; to move it to Photos, open the file and choose “Share” → “Save Video”.
On Android
In Chrome the MP4 is saved to the Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery — from there you can send it straight to a messenger.
On a computer
- Copy the address from the browser bar, paste it on skachok.com and click “Find”. The file is saved to “Downloads”.
- For 1080p and above we merge video and audio on the server — it takes from 10 seconds to a couple of minutes.
- If your player has no sound, open the file in VLC or pick another quality.
