Quick steps
- Open a public video note. In the Xiaohongshu or RedNote app, open the video you want. Private or followers-only notes cannot be downloaded.
- Copy the share link. Tap Share → Copy Link (or Copy). Keep the full clipboard text, including xhslink.com / xhslink.cn if present.
- Paste into the tool above. Paste on this page and tap Download. Confirm the preview shows a video, not a photo album.
- Save the MP4. Pick a resolution if offered, then Download MP4. On iPhone use the share sheet; on Android check Files → Downloads.
What you need before you start
You only need a modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox) and a public video note. No APK, App Store install, or Xiaohongshu login on this site.
Have the share text ready. If you only copied a caption without a URL, the parse will fail — see how to copy a Xiaohongshu link.
How to download Xiaohongshu video on phone or PC
The steps are the same on mobile and desktop: copy → paste → preview → download. Device differences are mostly about where the file lands after you tap Download MP4.
On Android, Chrome usually saves to Files → Downloads. Gallery or Google Photos may take a moment to index the MP4. Full walkthrough: Xiaohongshu video downloader Android.
On iPhone / iPad, Safari often opens a preview tab — use Share → Save to Files or Save Video. Details: Xiaohongshu video downloader iOS.
Video notes vs photo albums
If the preview shows many images instead of a single video player, you opened an image or album note. Switch to the Xiaohongshu image downloader or album downloader for carousels and ZIP packs.
For video-only saves, keep this how-to page or the dedicated video downloader. Mixing intents on one URL confuses both users and search engines — that is why these landings stay separate.
Quality, watermark, and honest limits
When multiple streams exist, pick the highest label (for example 1080p). We do not re-encode; quality matches what the public CDN exposes. Xiaohongshu often overlays branding in the player UI — fetching the CDN source usually avoids that overlay. Deep dive: download without watermark.
Private notes, deleted posts, expired short links, and occasional upstream timeouts still fail. Troubleshooting: Xiaohongshu download not working. Only download content you own or have permission to keep.
Common mistakes when learning the flow
Pasting a profile URL, a note ID without a host, or an old chat forward with an expired token are the most common beginners’ errors. Always re-open the note and use a fresh Share → Copy Link.
Another mistake: using an in-app browser that blocks downloads. On iPhone, open this site in Safari; on Android, prefer Chrome over the Xiaohongshu in-app webview when possible.
