How to download Reddit videos straight from the Android app
Unlike other social networks and video platforms, it is really easy to download any media file on Reddit. You can do it straight from its official Android application.
The official Reddit app allows you to download videos
The steps to follow are these:
- Find the video you want to download.
- Tap it to see it on full screen.
- Tap on the three dots you will see in the upper right corner.
- In the bottom menu, tap the Download option.
Now, wait a few seconds until the download is complete. The video you just downloaded will now be in your device's internal storage. How can you see it? Just open your device's file explorer (or download one, such as ES Explorer) and navigate to the Downloads folder on your device.
There, you will find the videos you have downloaded from the official Reddit app. Now, you can send them to another application, upload them to the cloud, or do whatever you want with them. All the videos we downloaded for this guide were in MP4 format, which is a format that is highly compatible with all kinds of devices, systems, and applications.
The best Android apps to download videos from Reddit
Although the Reddit application lets you download any video you want without the need to install additional tools, it's always good to know about the available alternatives. It is possible that, in the future, the platform will remove this feature, or maybe you do not want to install the official app on your Android device. Whatever the case, these apps are great for downloading videos from Reddit:
Viddit

Viddit for Android is a tremendously simple tool. To start downloading videos, just share the Reddit link to the app, either by using the Android sharing menu option or by pasting it manually. In both cases, the download will start immediately, and the video will be available in your device's internal storage. However, it is important to note that this is a free app, but it has a lot of advertising.

Video + Audio Downloader For Reddit is a great application for downloading videos from Reddit. The process is the same as in all other applications. First, you must get the video link from the Reddit app or website. Then, paste it into the text box of this tool and ask it to download it. After a few seconds, it will be on your device's internal storage.
Revvid
Revvid's minimalistic interface
Revvid is a lightweight and minimalistic Reddit video download tool. It has a text box where you can paste the link and a button that gets the link directly from the clipboard. Just like the other apps, it will download the video and store it in the internal storage after a few seconds. Something we liked about this app is that it forces the user to choose a specific download folder.
Redvid
This is what Redvid looks like
Redvid is an open-source application with several additional features beyond the Reddit video downloader. For example, it lets you organize your downloads, watch the videos you downloaded straight from the application, and share them with other applications. Of course, the app is free, but it is financed by ads. So, to enjoy all its features, you have no choice but to watch advertising.
