Save Reddit Posts & Comments to Google Sheets

Reddit is one of the best places for real opinions, niche expertise, and product recommendations. But useful threads get buried, saved posts are hard to search, and Reddit’s built-in save feature maxes out.

With Add to Sheets, you can save Reddit posts and comments directly to Google Sheets as you browse. Build searchable, organized libraries of the best content you find.

Why Save Reddit to Google Sheets?

• Research — Collect answers and advice from expert communities
• Product research — Save recommendations and reviews from real users
• Market research — Track what people are saying about products, tools, or industries
• Content ideas — Catalog post ideas, questions, and trends
• Reference library — Build a searchable database of useful threads

Pro Tips for Reddit + Google Sheets

Save the Best Comments, Not Entire Threads

Reddit threads can have hundreds of comments. Instead of saving everything, select just the insightful comments that matter. Your sheet becomes a curated collection of the best advice, not a dump of raw threads.

Extract All Links from a Thread

Some Reddit threads are gold mines of links — resource lists, tool recommendations, reading lists. Use the Find All Links feature to extract every URL from a thread at once and save them to your sheet.

Track Mentions of Your Product or Competitors

Set up a monitoring sheet:

1. Create columns for Date, Subreddit, Post Title, Sentiment, URL
2. Periodically search Reddit for your product name or competitor names
3. Save relevant posts to track sentiment over time

Save Text Content for Later Reference

For long, detailed Reddit answers you want to reference later, save the full text to your sheet using text content saving. This way you have the content even if the post gets deleted.

Let AI Formulas Analyze Discussions

Google Sheets’ built-in =AI() formula (a Google Workspace feature, not part of Add to Sheets) can automatically process the content you save from Reddit. Add AI-powered columns next to your raw data:

Post Title	Comment Text	Topic	Sentiment	Key Insight
“Best tools for…”	“I switched to X because…”	=AI(“topic category?”, B2)	=AI(“sentiment?”, B2)	=AI(“what product feedback is here?”, B2)

Save raw comments and posts with Add to Sheets, and AI columns categorize, score sentiment, and extract insights automatically. See our full guide on using AI formulas with saved data.

Save Reddit Content Faster with Quick Row Entry

With Add to Sheets Pro, use Quick Row Entry to log complete posts in one step:

1. Open Quick Row Entry from the extension
2. A form appears with all your columns: Title, Subreddit, Key Takeaway, URL, Notes
3. Fill in each field
4. Submit — entire row saved at once
5. Continue browsing

Pro also includes:

• Multiple keyboard shortcuts — one for post titles, another for comments
• Save to multiple sheets — track product research and content ideas in separate sheets simultaneously

Common Questions

Does it work with old Reddit and new Reddit? Yes, Add to Sheets works on any web page, including both old.reddit.com and the new redesign.

Can I save entire threads? You save content by selecting text. For an entire thread, select all visible text (Ctrl+A/Cmd+A) and save it, though saving key comments individually is usually more useful.

Can I save from the Reddit app? No, Add to Sheets is a Chrome extension for desktop browsers.

Does it work with Reddit’s media (images, videos)? You can save image URLs by right-clicking images. Video content stays on Reddit.
