4 Simple Methods to Download Videos on Reddit With Sound on Desktop
Unlike the Reddit app on Android and iOS, downloading videos on Reddit's website is not as straightforward. While you can easily save images and gifs by right-clicking and selecting “Save image as,” downloading videos requires a bit more effort. In this article, we'll show you four simple methods to download videos on Reddit with sound on your desktop.
Method 1: Using Reddit Video Downloader Websites
There are several downloader web apps available that can download videos directly hosted on Reddit, as well as those hosted on services like Imgur and Gifycat. One standout website is viddit.red, which offers multiple easy ways to download Reddit videos.
- Open the Reddit video post you want to download.
- Click on the “Share” option below the post and select “Copy Link.” Alternatively, you can copy the link from the browser's Omnibar.
- Visit the viddit.red website and paste the link in the box under the “Download Reddit Videos” heading.
- Click the “Submit” button to get the download options for the video.
- On the next page, you'll see a preview of the video, along with the option to download the thumbnail and video as an MP3 file or in video format.
- Simply click the “Download HD Video” button to start downloading the video. If you prefer a lower quality, you can choose a resolution from the menu.
Method 2: Using the Shortcut to Reddit Video Downloader
With viddit.red, there's an even easier process to download Reddit videos without visiting the web app.
- Open the Reddit video post you want to download.
- In the URL, add “ss” before “reddit.com.” For example, change “reddit.com/r/Minecraft/example_post” to “ssreddit.com/r/Minecraft/example_post.”
- This will directly open the viddit.red website with the link already pasted. Click “Submit” to get the download option.
- Finally, click the “Download HD Video” button to download the video.
Method 3: Using Browser Extensions
If you're using Chrome, Firefox, or any Chromium-based browser, you can easily download Reddit videos using browser extensions. One recommended extension is “Video Downloader for Reddit” by RedditSave, available for both Chrome and Firefox.
On Chrome & other Chromium-based browsers:
- Install the “Video Downloader for Reddit” extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- Open the video you want to download on Reddit and click the extension icon at the top right corner.
- Select the “Video Downloader for Reddit” extension from the list.
- It will open redditsave.com with the option to download the video from the Reddit post.
- Click the “Download HD Video” button to download the video.
On Firefox:
- Install the “Video Downloader for Reddit” extension from the Firefox Add-ons Store.
- Open the video you want to download on Reddit and click the “Video Downloader for Reddit” add-on at the top right corner.
- You will be redirected to redditsave.com, where you can click the “Download HD Video” button to download the video.
Method 4: Using Reddit Bots
Another fast and convenient way to download Reddit videos is by using Reddit bots. However, this method only works for videos directly hosted on Reddit and not those hosted on services like Imgur.
- Open the Reddit video post you want to download.
- Scroll down to the comment section and enter the comment “u/savevideo” or “u/savevideobot,” then click “Comment.”
- You will receive a reply comment from the Save Video bot with a link to download the video. Click “View Link.”
- It will open redditsave.com, where you can click the “Download HD Video” button to download the Reddit video.
These methods work on all operating systems, including Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, and Linux. Keep in mind that regardless of the method you choose, you'll be relying on services like redditsave.com and viddit.red. Other alternatives like redditvideodl.com, redditdownloader.us, and reddloader.com are also available but may have more ads.
