Why Reddit Downloader
Reddit mixes videos, image posts, galleries, and text across subreddits, threads, and user pages, but it does not give you a clean native export flow. Videos are often split across separate media tracks, image sets can span multiple assets, and post text is tedious to preserve cleanly if you are building a research or archive workflow.
Reddit Downloader is built for that exact use case. It scans visible posts on the page, groups the detected assets, and gives you a direct way to save useful Reddit content in standard local formats.
Features
- Video detection for Reddit-hosted posts
- MP4 export for Reddit video with audio
- Image and gallery asset detection for visible posts
- TXT export for post text and metadata
- Bulk-download workflow for visible assets on the page
- Tabbed popup for videos, images, and text
- Source-quality image saving where available
- Rescan workflow after loading more posts
- Cross-browser support for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex
How It Works
- Install the extension from the latest release.
- Open Reddit and go to a subreddit, thread, profile, or feed page.
- Scroll until the posts you want are visible on the page.
- Open the extension popup to review detected videos, images, and text.
- Download individual items or save the visible set in bulk.
- Open the exported files from your Downloads folder.

Troubleshooting
The extension is not finding a Reddit video Make sure the post is visible and the media has fully loaded before scanning.
A gallery post is missing some images Open the post fully or scroll until each asset loads, then rescan.
Bulk download missed some posts Scroll further so more posts load dynamically, then run the scan again.
The text export looks incomplete Expand collapsed post content before scanning if you want the full visible text.
The content is restricted or removed The extension only works on content you can already access in your current Reddit session.

About Reddit
Reddit is a community platform built around discussions, media posts, galleries, and shared links. While it is easy to browse in real time, it does not provide a clean built-in export flow for mixed post assets like videos, images, and text together. Reddit Downloader simplifies that process for users who need a local archive workflow.
