Tips on How to Download Videos on Your Desktop From Reddit

Just like other social media platforms, it is dominated by its usersIf you’ve been using the internet for too long, then I guess you’re already familiar with Reddit. Reddit is more like a platform that allows users to share news and discuss things. Just like other social media platforms, it is dominated by its users and they try to get a good amount of engagement either on their own or try to buy upvotes and downvotes from different sources. But the surprising fact about Reddit is it has a topic-based system.

Aside from sharing and discussing, Reddit also provides an application for the users. Through this app, you can now easily access all the contents in Reddit. But there are good contents and videos we badly want to save for future purposes, but we just lack knowledge on how to do it.

Sad to say, Reddit doesn’t render any downloading features for any videos posted in it. However, that must not hinder us from downloading all the desired videos we badly want to keep. We only need help from particular downloaders out there to bring our plans in reality. If you’ve been aching to find the answers on how to download videos from reddit, just continue reading this article and follow the steps given below.

Getting The Video URL

I will help you how to download videos from reddit; it is a tough process, but it will be worth it. Before we discuss the different downloaders, we need to learn first how to copy video links. We have two ways to do it; you can copy it from the browser bar itself or directly copy the link.

If you’re going to copy through the browser bar, go to the Reddit thread where the video is located. Once you’re there, highlight the link given in the browser’s address bar. Once you’re done highlighting, right-click and choose copy; you can also use the keyboard and click Ctrl+C to copy the link.

If you prefer copying the link directly, you can smoothly proceed to the thread where the video is posted. Hit the share button located at the bottom of the video and then choose the copy link to get it.

Use A Video Downloader

We already cleared it to you from the very beginning that Reddit doesn’t allow users to download videos, but it doesn’t stop us from doing what we want. To help you proceed with your plans, we gladly introduce some of the best video downloaders that work well on Reddit.

There are excellent video downloaders out there; we all just need to pick the suitable ones. One example is viddit.red; it is an Mp4 downloader designed for Reddit. You can have the video and audio separately or blend it by choosing Mp4. There are also other options given on the site. There are choices like Convert to Mp3, Audio Mp4 file, and Thumbnail JPG file.

Using this downloader is very easy; the first thing you must do is visit their website. Once you find it, instantly copy-paste the video’s URL. After you paste the URL, immediately click the Submit button. After that, some options will be given to you through vertical dots. Just click it and then choose Download to get the video only. If you want to download the video as well as its audio, just hit the big red button with the name “Download HD Video.”

Use A Video Recording

If you’re not comfortable using any of the downloaders, you can consider using the video recording. What you have to do is find a good screen recording application. You can try downloading the ShowMore application; you can utilize your recorded videos using their free cloud storage so you won’t consume much of your storage room. Aside from that, you can get infinite recording time if you’ll get a free account through registering.

Using the ShowMore application is easy, search their website and then hit the Start Recording button; the recording session will then start. If it is your first time trying it, you need to install the online launcher first to launch it normally.  After that, click the audio source. Select the Microphone button and decide your preferred source; you can select the system sound, mic, or both.

After that, you must control the Reddit video you want to document. Once you’re there, select the recording mode and hit the “Region” option; you’ll be provided a recording frame. The scope of the frame will be the only portion that will be documented. And for the rest of the screen, it can’t be seen in the recording. Once you’re prepared, immediately hit the Record button; do not forget that there will be a three-second countdown before the recording starts.

You’ll see a preview and an option to save it.  If you’re okay with the outcome, choose the Diskette button to keep your file. After that, select the Save as a video file to save your recording correctly. Once you’re done saving it, upload it to your cloud, and then open the video or the folder. From that point, you can do anything you like.

But thanks to some guides and alternatives, we can now access the things we badly want to keep for future purposes. Keep using this guide and find all the videos you desire.
