How to Save Reddit Videos in 3 Steps
Saving a Reddit video with RDT takes less than ten seconds from start to finish. Whether you want to save a Reddit video on iPhone, pull a clip on Android, or download a Reddit video to PC, the process is identical — no app to install, no account to create, no learning curve to climb. Here is exactly how to download Reddit videos with sound, one step at a time, using our free reddit video downloader.

Step 1: Copy the Reddit URL
Open the Reddit post containing the video, GIF, or gallery you want to save. Tap the share button underneath the post and select "Copy Link" from the menu — this works the same way on iPhone, Android, and the mobile web. On desktop, right-click the post's timestamp and choose "Copy Link Address" instead. The reddit post link will look something like reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/xxxxx/post_title/ — that's the URL you need to paste in the next step.

Step 2: Paste & Process
Return to RDT, paste the reddit post link into the input box at the top of the page, and hit the Download button. On Windows press Ctrl+V to paste, on Mac use Cmd+V, and on mobile a long-press brings up the paste menu. Our reddit mp4 downloader fetches both the video stream and the audio stream in parallel, converts the reddit video to mp4 with sound, and prepares your final file — usually in under two seconds for typical Reddit posts.

Step 3: Save to Your Device
Pick your preferred quality — usually 1080p, 720p, or 480p depending on what the original poster uploaded — and click Download one more time. The MP4 file lands in your browser's downloads folder. To save a Reddit video on iPhone, tap the share icon on the saved file and choose "Save Video" to push it directly into your camera roll, or use the Files app to organize it. On Android, the file appears in your Gallery app automatically within a few seconds, no extra steps required.
Why Modern Reddit GIFs Use MP4 Containers
Legacy .gif files were invented in 1987 and are extremely inefficient for modern HD screens. A 5-second high-definition animation in legacy GIF format can take up 40MB or more!
Reddit and Imgur automatically convert uploaded GIFs into **MP4 video loops** (often referred to as GIFV). This drops the file size to 2MB while improving color depth and animation smoothness.
Our Reddit GIF Downloader gives you the best of both worlds: crisp HD video loops ready for social media posts, stickers, and meme archives.
- Compatible with Discord, Telegram, iMessage, and WhatsApp
- No watermarks or compression artifacts
- Save directly to iPhone Photos / Android Gallery
Explore Our Specialized Tools
RDT isn't just one tool — it's a small suite of Reddit-specific downloaders, each tuned for a particular content type. The homepage handles ninety percent of use cases, but if you work with one format repeatedly, the dedicated tools below give you a cleaner interface and format-specific options the main reddit video downloader doesn't surface.
Reddit GIF Downloader
A focused reddit gif downloader built specifically for downloading Reddit GIFs as MP4 files. Handles native Reddit GIFs, .gifv embeds, and GIFs hosted on Imgur. Perfect for building a personal reaction-GIF library from r/reactiongifs or saving satisfying loops from r/oddlysatisfying. Output is always MP4 — five to ten times smaller than a true GIF file with no quality loss, and it plays inline in every modern messaging app.
Reddit Gallery Downloader
Our reddit gallery downloader is built for multi-image Reddit posts. Paste a gallery URL and RDT extracts every image at original resolution, then bundles them into a single ZIP archive for one-click download. No more right-click-saving twenty times in a row. Works on r/pics collections, meme dumps, tutorial slideshows, infographic sets, and any post where multiple images belong together as a sequence rather than as standalone files.
Reddit Image Saver
A dedicated reddit image downloader for single-image posts hosted on i.redd.it. Downloads the original file with zero Reddit-side compression — useful for grabbing wallpaper-resolution images from r/EarthPorn, r/space, or r/foodporn. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP outputs, with EXIF metadata preserved on files where the uploader included it. The file you get is the file the uploader submitted, nothing more and nothing less.
Reddit Audio Extractor
Our reddit audio extractor is for moments when you only need the audio track — podcasts, interviews, music shares, ASMR clips, ambient soundscapes, or spoken-word content from Reddit. RDT strips the video track and converts reddit to mp3 format at the source's original bitrate. Faster than running ffmpeg yourself, with no command-line syntax to memorize and no software to install on your machine.
Reddit GIF Downloader FAQs
Frequently asked questions about downloading animated GIFs from Reddit.
How do I download animated GIFs from Reddit?
Copy the link of the Reddit post containing the animated GIF or GIFV file, paste it into our Reddit GIF downloader, and click Download. You can save it as an MP4 video loop or animated image.
What is the difference between Reddit GIF and GIFV format?
GIFV is a format popularized by Imgur and Reddit that delivers animated content using MP4 video containers. MP4 container GIFs load much faster and take up to 90% less disk space than legacy .gif files.
Can I download GIFs from Giphy or Imgur posts embedded on Reddit?
Yes! RDT automatically parses embedded Giphy, Imgur, and Reddit native animated media and provides direct high-definition download links.
Do Reddit GIFs contain sound?
Traditional GIFs do not contain sound. However, if the post is actually a short video clip (sometimes called a 'GIF with sound'), RDT will detect and include the audio track for you.
Can I share downloaded Reddit GIFs on WhatsApp or Discord?
Absolutely. Downloaded GIF/MP4 loops play automatically in Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and iMessage without buffering.
