If you are one of those who use Vidmate or Snaptube to download all the videos you want, good for you, great choice, but you may run into a certain obstacle when it comes to doing the same on Reddit. The thing is that to download Reddit videos with an iPhone, we need different tools, in this article I am going to put the best ones at your disposal.
"The internet desk", "the wall of the web", "the entrance portal to the network"; all of these titles are granted to Reddit. In activity since 2005 and with more than 50 million daily users, this platform is not exactly a social network nor is it exactly a forum, it is perhaps a link between the two but with elements of its own.
In short, without further ado, let's see The best ways to download videos from Reddit.
Reddit App for iPhone
First of all, it is important to note that the Reddit app itself is equipped to solve this problem very easily. I will explain in detail below how to download a video with the Reddit application itself.
- Open the video you want to download
- Tap the More button (the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen)
- Tap on the “Share” option and then tap on “Save Video”
It's that simple, therefore, if you have the Reddit app, the task becomes quite simple. But if for whatever reason you prefer not to use the app and consume the content of said platform in your browser "Safari", I'm going to show you some alternatives that might work for you.
The application is no longer available in the App StoreRedv (Reddit Video Downloader)
Imagine that you are using Reddit in your browser and you find a video that you definitely want to have, until yesterday you would not know what to do about it but today you could use the redv fast download method, consists of doing the following:
- Playing address bar (It is located at the top of the browser interface).
- Change the part that says “reddit.com” for “redditdl.com” and hit search (make sure you don't change or delete the rest of the link).
This action will take us directly to redv.com with our video ready to download. This is a very good functionality of Redv, but not the only interesting one, let's talk a little more about this web page.
Redv (Reddit video downloader) is a super simple website that does exactly what it says on the tin, works from a browser so you can use it from virtually any device. You can download any video or audio file in high quality. All you need to do is enter the video link in the bar that shows you the site saying “Reddit Post URL” and download it (you can also use the method specified at the beginning of the description)
You can enjoy even better audio and video quality if you download the program for PC or Mac (you can find it on the page itself).
You can enter the website by touching here.
Media Mutt Shortcut
Maybe I shouldn't add this shape since it's only available for iOS 13 and iOS 12, but I know a lot of people will still find it useful, so enjoy! (those who can).
Media Mutt is the shortcut we all wish we had, it allows you to download videos and images from many platforms (including YouTube and Reddit). To get any video with this shortcut you just have to follow the following steps:
- In Safari browser open the video post to download
- Press "Share"
- Go to the bottom of the popup menu and press Media Mutt
- Once the preview has loaded, hit “Save Video”
If you have any doubts about how to activate the Media Mutt shortcut on your phone, just take a look at this article. Remember that you must first add Media Mutt.
RedditSave
A perfect alternative to Redv, in fact, the operation is quite similar. A website that you can access from any browser to download videos and gifs found on Reddit, Imgur, Gfycat, Streamable, Gipfy and many others. Like the rest of the options on the list, this is totally free.
To use it, you just have to copy the URL of the desired video and paste it into the download bar that appears on the web page, then choose the desired format.
To access this page just press here.
Slide for Reddit
This app is a unofficial reddit explorer, which will surely make you wonder why use this one if you have already rejected the official Reddit app. And well, Slide for Reddit has its charm, we mention the most striking features:
- Theme customization
- Available on different devices.
- Filter content to your liking
- Very comfortable and pleasant interface
- Gesture navigation
- Possibility to save a backup copy of the configuration and apply it in case of changing the phone
- And of course, download content. All you have to do is long press on the video or file to get, and hit “Download” on the pop-up menu.
Slide for Reddit also has a pro version that offers extra features.
The application is no longer available in the App Storeripsave
Another website that will let you download Reddit videos with just a link, this one also allows you to download videos hosted on Instagram and Facebook, among many other sources.
You already know the process, copy the URL of the publication with the video and paste it in the bar that presents the web page, then you can select the desired format and resolution.
The ripsave.com site will only take you to download the Snapdownloader program (for PC and Mac), to use the free online version you must go to this site.
Keepvid
Curiously, when you put ripsave in the google search engine in the second result keepvid comes out with a message
Ripsave.com is good but keepvid has more features and is faster
But hey, both sites are very similar, both are valid alternatives, it's up to each person to decide which one they prefer.
Keep in mind that there are many sites very similar to those mentioned here and surely we have left some very good ones behind, but for the selection of these we have based ourselves on certain advantages:
- The video formats, resolution and quality offered by each website
- The platforms with which they are compatible
- Download speed or tendency to errors
- ease of use
