How to Download Videos from Reddit

There’s a reason Reddit is one of the most visited websites in the US and the 13th in the world. It’s a constant source of the latest news, funny videos, and all sorts of fascinating information. One of the things that people can share is media, from hilarious gifs to homemade videos, but Reddit doesn’t make it easy to download them.

Fortunately, there are a few websites that make it possible to download Reddit videos. Not all websites download the media with the audio track since Reddit stores audio and video separately, but some can. This article shows some of the best options available and how to get them to work.
