Reddit doesn't let you save videos to your camera roll directly. But there's an easy workaround that takes about 15 seconds.
Save Reddit Video to Camera Roll (iPhone)
- Open the Reddit post with the video
- Tap the Share button and copy the link
- Open Safari and go to a Reddit video downloader
- Paste the link and tap Download
- When the video appears, tap and hold it
- Select "Save to Photos" or "Add to Photos"
The video is now in your Photos app, ready to share on Instagram, TikTok, or anywhere else.
Save Reddit Video to Gallery (Android)
- Open the Reddit post and tap Share, then Copy Link
- Open Chrome and go to a Reddit video downloader
- Paste the link and tap Download
- The video saves to your Downloads folder automatically
- It will also appear in your Gallery or Google Photos
Use our free tool — paste the Reddit link on the homepage and save the video in seconds.
Why Reddit Doesn't Have a Save Button
Reddit's "Save" button only bookmarks the post — it doesn't download the video. Reddit doesn't offer a built-in video download feature. This is likely because video hosting is expensive and Reddit wants to keep users on their platform rather than downloading content.
Can I Save Reddit Videos with Sound?
Yes, but only if you use a proper Reddit video downloader. Reddit stores video and audio separately, so you need a tool that merges them. Our downloader does this automatically — every video you save includes audio.
Tips for Best Results
- Make sure the Reddit post actually contains a video (not a GIF or image)
- Use the full Reddit URL, not a shortened link
- If download fails, try copying the URL from a browser instead of the app
- Videos from private subreddits can't be downloaded
