Why Redgifs Downloader

Redgifs is optimized for fast looping playback and feed browsing, not for giving users a clean save workflow. Generic extensions can miss the actual clip source, especially when navigation happens without a full page reload or when the media is loaded lazily in the feed.

Redgifs Downloader is built for that browsing pattern. It can detect supported clips from active pages, then export them as MP4 files so they are easier to keep, replay, and organize offline.

Features

Handles short-form video workflows more cleanly than generic tools
In-page download button built into the video player
Feed page scanning to detect multiple videos on browse and search pages
Converts HLS streams to downloadable MP4 files in-browser
Right-click context menu for a faster download flow
Real-time progress tracking with download speed and file size
Desktop notifications when downloads complete
Auto-saves to an organized REDGIFS subfolder in Downloads
Cross-browser support for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex

Let the extension detect the active media source.
Open the popup or use the in-page download button.

Troubleshooting

The extension does not detect the clip Start playback first and wait for the active media source to load.

The feed changed without a full reload Open the popup again after navigation so the extension can rescan the active page state.

The download option is missing Refresh the page and retry after the clip starts playing again.

The download stopped or failed partway through Check whether your internet connection dropped during the export. Retry the download from the popup.

The page requires account access The extension only works on media you can already open and play in your active browser session.
