How to Download Reddit Videos

🖥️ Desktop App Required

▶ VIDEO TUTORIAL

Reddit hosts native videos at v.redd.it — but Reddit blocks server-side requests. VidRivo's desktop app uses your Windows session to download any Reddit video at full quality, with audio included.

1

Install VidRivo Desktop App

Download the free VidRivo installer from vidrivo.com and run it. Installation takes under a minute. Because Reddit blocks server-side requests, you need the desktop app — it uses your own Windows session to access the video directly.

2

Copy the Reddit Post URL

Go to the Reddit post containing the video you want to save. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar — it looks like reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/... You can also right-click the post title and choose "Copy link".

3

Paste, Analyze & Download

Open VidRivo, paste the Reddit post URL into the input field and click Analyze. The app fetches the title, thumbnail and all available qualities. Choose your preferred resolution and click Download — the video saves to your PC with audio included.

💡 Pro Tip

Reddit-hosted videos (v.redd.it) download with audio included. Cross-posted YouTube or Imgur videos are not supported — only videos hosted on Reddit itself. Works for all subreddits including r/videos, r/funny, and more.
