How to Download Reddit Videos on Mac or Windows

Download Reddit videos to your computer with Aye Browser. Save supported videos on Mac or Windows without copying the Reddit post URL or pasting it into a separate online downloader.

Aye works from the Reddit page you are already viewing. Open the post, play the video, and use Save Current Video in Aye's sidebar.

Use this feature only for videos you have the right to save and on supported pages. Downloading a file does not give you permission to republish or redistribute it.

How to Download a Reddit Video in Aye

Open Reddit in Aye Browser and find the video you want to save. For the clearest result, open the individual post instead of downloading from a feed that contains several videos.

1. Click Save Current Video

Open Aye's sidebar while the Reddit post is active. When Aye detects a supported video on the current page, Save Current Video appears as an available action.

Click Save Current Video and keep the Reddit post open while Aye prepares the media and starts the browser download.

You do not need to copy the Reddit post link or submit it to another video downloader website.

2. Choose a Download Folder If Asked

The first time you save a video, Aye may ask you to select or authorize a download folder. Choose Downloads or another folder on your Mac or Windows computer.

After the folder is authorized, Aye can use it for future browser downloads. Keep the post open until the download begins.

3. Check the Download Record

Open Aye's download menu to view the download progress. When the download is complete, the record shows the filename and file size. Use the folder button to find the saved video on your computer.

The example shown is an MP4 file. The filename, file type, quality, and file size can vary depending on the media source available in the Reddit post.

How Aye's Reddit Video Downloader Works

Many online Reddit video downloaders require you to copy a post URL, open another website, paste the link, and find the correct download button.

Aye keeps the workflow inside the desktop browser:

Download supported Reddit videos directly on Mac or Windows.
Save a video without copying and pasting the Reddit post link.
Use the Reddit session already open in Aye.
Keep the original post visible while confirming the correct video.
Follow download progress in Aye's download record.
Open the saved file from the download record.

Where Are Reddit Videos Saved?

Aye saves downloaded Reddit videos in the folder you select. If you choose the standard Downloads folder, the file will appear there on your Mac or Windows computer.

You can also open Aye's download record and click the folder button beside the completed download. The filename may use a Reddit media identifier instead of the visible post title.

The current download flow shown here does not include a manual format or resolution selector. Aye uses an available media source from the supported page.

Download Videos from Private or Restricted Reddit Communities

Aye may be able to download a video from a private or restricted Reddit community when all of the following are true:

You are signed in to a Reddit account that can open and play the post.
The page and its media source are supported.
You have the right to save the video.

Aye does not join private communities, recover deleted posts, bypass age or membership checks, or override Reddit permissions. Do not submit passwords, verification codes, or private post links to a third-party downloader.

Reddit Video Downloader Troubleshooting

Save Current Video Does Not Appear

Play the video and wait for the page to finish loading. If Save Current Video does not appear:

Open the individual Reddit post.
Confirm that the item is a playable video rather than an image gallery or link preview.
Sign in if the post requires account or community access.
Refresh the page and play the video again.
Update Aye to the latest version available from the official store.

If the action still does not appear, the post or its media source may not currently be supported.

Aye Prepares the Video but the Download Does Not Start

Check whether Aye is waiting for you to choose or authorize a download folder. Keep the Reddit post open, replay the video, and retry the download.

The media source may also be temporarily unavailable. If the original Reddit player cannot play the video reliably, wait and try again later.

Aye Detects the Wrong Reddit Video

This can happen when several videos are visible in a feed or comment page. Open the target post on its own page, play the intended video, and then click Save Current Video again.

The Reddit Post Uses an External Video Player

Some Reddit posts embed or link to a video hosted by another website. In that case, the Reddit action may not detect the media. Open the original source only when you are authorized to access and save the video, then use a workflow supported for that site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Save a Reddit Video as an MP4 File?

The demonstrated download is saved as an MP4 file. The available format depends on the media source exposed by the Reddit post and the current Aye version.

Does Aye Work with Every Reddit Video?

No downloader should be assumed to work with every post. Availability depends on the page, media source, account access, and changes made by Reddit or an external video provider.
