FAQ
What is this Xiaohongshu Downloader?
It is a free web tool that lets you paste a public Xiaohongshu (RedNote) note link and save the original video or images without installing an app. Paste share text from xhslink.com, rednote.com, or explore links, then download on the same page. No account, no redirect, and no third-party mobile APK. We resolve public CDN files so you can keep content offline for personal use.
Does it remove the RedNote/Xiaohongshu watermark?
Yes — completely. Xiaohongshu adds watermarks on the client side (in the app). Our downloader connects directly to the CDN and retrieves the original file before the watermark layer is applied. You get a clean, watermark-free video or image every time. This works for both new posts and older content on the platform.
Is this Xiaohongshu video downloader free?
Yes. Paste a public note link and download without signing up or paying. There is no daily quota for normal personal use. Ads may appear later to keep the tool free; the download flow itself stays unlimited. If a note fails, it is almost always a private, deleted, or expired share link — not a paywall.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The full download flow stays on this page — no app install prompts, no Chrome extension, and no sideloaded APK or IPA. Use Safari, Chrome, Edge, or any modern browser on phone or desktop. On iOS you may save via the share sheet; on Android Chrome usually downloads directly to Files.
Which links work?
We support xhslink.com short links, rednote.com links, and standard Xiaohongshu explore or discovery URLs — including full share text with a title. Fresh Copy Link shares that include xsec_token work best. Private notes, deleted posts, and expired tokens cannot be resolved; re-copy the link from the app and try again.
Do you store my links or files?
No. The tool is designed to be stateless for your pasted URLs and media. We do not keep a public archive of what you download. Short-lived technical caches may speed up repeat parses of the same note ID, then expire. See our Privacy Policy for details on analytics and server logs.
How do I download on Android or iPhone?
Use the web tool in your mobile browser — see our For Android and For iOS pages. No app store download is required.
Can I download images too?
Yes. Image notes list every public photo in the carousel for individual download.
Why did my link fail?
Private, deleted, or expired share links cannot be resolved. Re-copy the share link from the app and try again.
