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.

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 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”.
FAQ
Why is a coub silent when I save it the usual way?
Coub stores the picture and the music separately: the video is looped and the sound is a separate track. Skachok merges them into one MP4 on the server.
Can I download just the music?
Yes, choose MP3 in the “Audio” block — you get the coub's audio track.
What quality do I get?
Coub serves low-resolution clips — usually up to 720p. That is the coub's original quality; the platform doesn't store anything higher.
Is there a watermark?
No, the file is clean — no Coub logo.
Can I download a private or deleted coub?
No. The coub must open from its link without signing in to Coub. Deleted coubs can't be recovered.
Can I download a whole collection of coubs?
Only one by one: copy the links to the coubs you need and paste them as a list, one per line — up to 3 at a time without an account, up to 5 on Lite, 10 on Pro and 50 on Max.
Want more?
Up to 100 downloads a day, up to 50 links at a time, no ads (on Pro and Max — no timer either) — on the Lite, Pro and Max plans. Sign up and get 2 days of Pro free.
