Xiaohongshu Live Photo Downloader

A Xiaohongshu Live Photo contains two assets: a still image and a short motion clip. This downloader keeps both parts available separately, so you can use Download Image for the photo and Download MP4 for the movement.

RedNote and Xiaohongshu are names for the same platform, so public links from either brand work in the same box.

Paste a Xiaohongshu or RedNote Live Photo link

Paste a public Live Photo note. Each motion photo appears as two separate files: the still image and the short MP4 video.

✅ Works with all Xiaohongshu links — tested August 2026

Supports public video notes, image posts, Live Photos, and xhslink.com / xhslink.cn short links. Paste a bare URL, full share text, or up to 8 links (one per line; Shift+Enter for a new line). Live Photos return separate still-image and MP4 downloads when the note exposes both assets.

Download only content you own or have permission to use. Copyright

Example result — first-party sample photo (not a Xiaohongshu post). Paste your own image note link above to download a real public note.

Quick steps

  1. Copy the public Live Photo note link. In Xiaohongshu or RedNote, open the note, tap Share, then Copy Link.
  2. Paste and preview. Paste the link above and confirm that the still and motion preview match the note.
  3. Download both parts. Use Download Image for the still and Download MP4 for the short video. Repeat for each Live Photo in the note.

Why Live Photos have two download buttons

A Live Photo is not one ordinary image file. Xiaohongshu stores a photo plus a linked short video. Saving both files preserves the visual frame and the motion; saving only the image produces a normal still photo.

Public content, copyright, and permission

Only save public content that you own or have permission to use. Do not use this tool to copy, republish, sell, or remove attribution from someone else's work.

The same site-wide Copyright guidance and DMCA process apply to Live Photos. Private, deleted, or login-only notes are not supported.

Related questions

Does the Xiaohongshu Live Photo downloader save the moving part?

Yes. When the public note exposes its Live Photo media, the result shows the still image and the linked short video as separate downloads. The motion part downloads as MP4.

Is this also a RedNote Live Photo downloader?

Yes. RedNote is the international name for Xiaohongshu. Public rednote.com, xiaohongshu.com, and supported xhslink share links use the same parser.

Why do I see an image but no motion video?

The note may be a standard photo, the Live Photo video may no longer be public, or the share link may be stale. Copy a fresh public note link and try again; standard photos remain available on the image or album downloader pages.

Can I download private Live Photos?

No. This tool only processes public notes and does not bypass logins, privacy controls, or deleted content.

May I repost a downloaded Live Photo?

Only if you own it or the rights holder has given permission. Public availability does not remove copyright or grant republication rights.
