How to Copy a RedGIFs Video Link: Desktop, iPhone and Android

A detailed guide to finding and copying the correct public RedGIFs video URL for use with RedClips.

Getting the correct URL is the most important first step when using RedClips. If you submit the wrong address, the downloader cannot know which video you want to retrieve. Fortunately, copying the right link is usually quick once you know where to look. This guide explains the process on desktop computers, iPhones, and Android devices.

Why the exact video link matters

A website can contain many different types of pages: homepages, profiles, search results, category pages, and individual video pages. A downloader generally needs the address that identifies the specific video. If you copy a general page instead, the service may not be able to determine which media you intended to retrieve.

On a desktop computer

Open the individual video page in your browser. Once the page is loaded, click the address bar at the top of the browser. The full URL should become highlighted. Use your browser's copy command or the keyboard shortcut for copying text. Then open RedClips and paste the URL into the downloader field.

On an iPhone

Open the video page in your mobile browser and use the browser's share controls. Look for the option that copies the page link. After tapping it, return to RedClips and paste the URL into the input field. If you do not see a copy-link option immediately, look through the available share actions or use the browser's page menu.

On Android

Open the individual video page and look for the browser's share icon or three-dot menu. Choose the action that copies or shares the link. Once the URL is on your clipboard, switch back to RedClips and paste it into the downloader.

Three things to check before submitting

1. Make sure you opened the individual video rather than a general listing.
2. Make sure the URL was copied completely.
3. Make sure the original page is still publicly accessible.

What happens after you copy the link?

Once you paste the URL into RedClips and start the lookup, the service attempts to process the submitted address. If the source media can be retrieved, the site can present the available options. If it cannot, you may see an error or an empty result. In that situation, the first thing to check is the original URL and source availability.
