About Reddit Downloader

When you're researching a topic, losing a valuable Reddit thread to deletion is a real risk. Reddit Downloader ensures you keep everything: videos, images, galleries, and the full comment tree. It merges v.redd.it video and audio tracks into a single MP4, extracts all slides from gallery posts, and exports comments as structured JSON with reply hierarchy and author names.

Batch queue multiple threads or subreddit pages to build an archive without manual saving. The extension organizes exports into folders by subreddit and post, making it easy to search and reference later. Duplicate detection skips already-saved content, so your collection stays clean.

All data stays on your device—no cloud uploads, no external servers. Use your Reddit session to access private communities you belong to, ensuring you never miss critical context. It's a local-first tool for serious researchers who need reliable, searchable archives.
