Program for downloading photo and video from Reddit and Twitter

Enjoying the tool? Considering adding to my coffee fund :)

What can program do:

• Download pictures and videos from users' profiles:
  • Reddit images;
  • Reddit galleries of images;
  • Redgifs hosted videos (https://www.redgifs.com/);
  • Reddit hosted videos (downloading Reddit hosted video is going through ffmpeg);
  • Twitter images;
  • Twitter videos.
• Parse channel and view data.
• Add users from parsed channel.
• Labeling users.
• Filter exists users by label or group.

How does it works:

Reddit

The program parsing all user's posts, gathering pictures' MD5 hash and compare with existing for remove duplicates. Then media will be downloaded.

Twitter

The program parsing all user's posts and compare file names with existing for remove duplicates. Then media will be downloaded.

Requirements:

• Windows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 with NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher
• Authorization cookies and tokens for Twitter (if you want to download data from Twitter)
• ffmpeg library for download Reddit hosted videos (you can download it from the official repo or from my first release)
• Don't put program in the Program Files system folder (this is portable program and program settings are stored in the program folder)
• Just unpack program archive in any folder you want, copy ffmpeg.exe into and enjoy. :-)

Settings and usage

The program has an intuitive interface.

Just add user profile and press Start downloading button.

Users can be added by patterns:

• https://twitter.com/SomeUserName
• https://reddit.com/user/SomeUserName
• u/SomeUserName
• SomeUserName (in this case you must to choose user site)
