Downloading Your Favorites
Install the Browser Extension
Open the Favorites page and install the Chrome/Edge/Brave or Firefox extension for your browser.
Log In on RedGIFs
Log in to redgifs.com in the same browser, then refresh RedGIFs once so the extension can read your active session.
Fetch and Send Favorites
Click the extension icon, fetch your favorites, then send them to the GetRedGifs Favorites page.
Download or Bulk Export
Download individual favorites with the card buttons, or use Bulk export favorites to select items and copy or download .txt/.json link files.
Bulk Link Grabber
Extract direct links from any RedGIFs profile in one click, then export those links for bulk download managers or advanced workflows.
Open Bulk Link Grabber
Open the Bulk Link Grabber page from the navigation menu or the home page.
Enter a username
Type any RedGIFs username or paste a profile URL, such as https://redgifs.com/users/username. Click "Grab Links" to start.
Wait for all pages to load
The tool automatically scans through every page of the profile. You can watch progress in real time and stop or resume at any point.
Filter, select, and export
Filter results by type (GIF or Image), choose quality (HD, SD, Silent), then select items and copy links or download a .txt/.json link file.
Using .txt and .json exports
Bulk Link Grabber and Favorites bulk export create link files. They do not directly download every video or image into the browser.
.txt is for download managers
Open the .txt file, copy the links, then paste or import them into JDownloader 2, IDM, Free Download Manager, or another download manager.
.json is for advanced workflows
JSON keeps the selected links in a structured format for scripts, automation, or custom tools. It is not a playable media file.
Desktop recommendation
For large batches, use a desktop download manager like JDownloader 2. Desktop tools handle many links better than mobile apps.
Mobile options
On Android, try 1DM/1DM+, Advanced Download Manager, or Download Navi. On iPhone/iPad, Documents by Readdle, Amerigo, or Aloha Browser may help, but large batches are easier on desktop.
