Reddit is a growing social network that has been in the news lately for controversial reasons. It’s kind of a mix between a social network and an online forum with moderators and a karma system. Lately, the company has been focusing on first-party content rather than simply allowing sharing links to other platforms. That means users can directly upload photos and videos on Reddit. While downloading photos off the platform is easy, there is no option to download videos from Reddit. Well, here’s how to download Reddit videos and audio files on Android and other platforms.
While this post will focus on Android, and how exactly to download Reddit videos on it, there are easy ways to download Reddit videos on any platform. Unfortunately, unlike YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, there aren’t as many options. That’s especially true if you want to download a Reddit video with audio. However, Viddit, is such an online service that does allow you to download Reddit videos with audio. Fortunately, they also have an Android app to make your life easier. If you are a Reddit addict, you should also check out these best Reddit apps for Android.

While browsing Reddit on your Android device, you can now easily share links to the Viddit app to download any videos that were uploaded to Reddit. There are at least three popular ways to browse Reddit on an Android device.
- If you use the official Reddit client, you can easily find the Share button below the video post.
- If you’re using Chrome, or another browser, open the post to get to the comments page then tap the three-dot menu button in the browser and select Share.
- In case you’re using an unofficial Reddit client, chances are it may have a built-in video downloader. If not, get to the comments page of the video and tap on the share button. It can be in different places depending on the app.
Regardless of how you share it, find and select the Viddit app from the Android Share menu. Depending on your phone or the app you’re sharing the link from, the Viddit app icon may be labeled as ‘Download‘.
