How to download RedGIFs videos on Android

Updated October 2026

On Android, Chrome saves downloads straight to your phone — so the whole thing is: paste the link, tap Download HD. And there's a faster way that skips copying links altogether.

The quick way: paste and download

In the RedGIFs app or Reddit, tap Share → Copy link on the video.
Open redgifs-downloader.com, tap the clipboard button, then Get video.
Tap Download HD. The MP4 lands in Downloads and shows up in your gallery app.

The faster way: put it in your Share menu

The downloader can register itself as a share target, like an app:

Open redgifs-downloader.com in Chrome.
Tap ⋮ → Add to Home screen (some phones say Install app) and confirm.
Now in the RedGIFs or Reddit app, tap Share on a video and pick RedGIFs Downloader.

The tool opens with the link already in place and fetches the clip immediately — one more tap on Download HD and you're done. If the shared text contains other words (Reddit often adds the post title), the tool picks the RedGIFs link out of it.

Sharing a Reddit post gives a Reddit link, not the video's. If you see "That's a Reddit link", open the post and share the video itself — details here.

Saving data

Download SD (smaller) gets RedGIFs' mobile version — typically a fraction of the HD file's size. The thumbnail button saves just the poster image. Read more on HD vs SD files.

FAQ

Where are RedGIFs downloads saved on Android?

In the Downloads folder. Most gallery apps (Google Photos, Samsung Gallery) show them under Downloads or Videos.

How do I get RedGIFs Downloader in the Share menu?

Open redgifs-downloader.com in Chrome, tap ⋮ → Add to Home screen (or Install app). After that it is listed as a share target, so Share → RedGIFs Downloader opens the clip directly.

Do I need an app from the Play Store?

No. It's a web page you can add to your home screen; nothing to install from the store and no permissions to grant.
