Xiaohongshu Video Downloader
This page is for video notes — not photo albums. Paste a public Xiaohongshu / RedNote video link to fetch the original CDN stream as an MP4, typically without the in-app watermark overlay.
When multiple streams exist, pick a resolution (for example 720p / 1080p / higher) before you tap Download MP4. The file saves to your browser's default download folder — no account, no install.
Need to save images instead? Use the image downloader or the album downloader. Want to remove watermarks specifically? See download without watermark.

Quick steps
- Copy a video share link. In the Xiaohongshu or RedNote app, open a public video note → Share → Copy Link. Keep the full share text — title plus URL is fine.
- Paste and parse. Paste into the box above and click Download. Confirm the preview shows a video (not an image carousel) and check the cover thumbnail.
- Download MP4. Select quality if offered, then Download MP4. Keep the tab open until the file finishes saving to your Downloads folder.
What is a Xiaohongshu video downloader?
A Xiaohongshu video downloader is a web tool that extracts the original MP4 media file from a public Xiaohongshu (RedNote) note. Instead of screen-recording the in-app player — which captures the watermark, UI chrome, and compression artifacts — the downloader requests the underlying CDN stream that the app itself plays.
This means the file you save is typically higher quality and free of the player overlay. The tool works in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on phone, tablet, or desktop — no APK, no extension, no sign-up.
MP4, resolution, and watermark
Xiaohongshu often applies watermarks in the player UI. We request the underlying media file so your save is usually a clean MP4. Resolution depends on what the creator uploaded and what the CDN exposes — we surface available heights instead of re-encoding.
Preview the cover and duration first so you do not download the wrong note. File size appears when the server reliably reports it. For a deeper explanation of why watermarks appear and how clean saves work, read the without watermark guide.
Video vs image notes
If results show multiple photos, you opened an image / album note. Use the image downloader or album downloader guides instead. This page stays focused on video (MP4) saves.
Supported link formats
The downloader accepts all public Xiaohongshu and RedNote link formats:
- xhslink.com short links — the most common share format (e.g.
http://xhslink.com/o/…) - rednote.com note URLs — the international brand domain
- xiaohongshu.com/explore/… discovery URLs (with xsec_token parameter)
- Full share text — paste the entire clipboard (title + emoji + URL); the parser extracts the link automatically
Private notes, deleted posts, and expired short links will fail. If the parser returns an error, copy a fresh Share → Copy Link from the app and try again. See Xiaohongshu download not working for troubleshooting.
Is it legal to download Xiaohongshu videos?
Only download content you own or have permission to keep. Xiaohongshu notes are protected by copyright — the creator holds the rights to their video. Downloading public notes for personal, non-commercial use (offline viewing, archiving your own posts) is generally acceptable. Re-uploading someone else's content without credit or permission is not.
