Why Batch Download Images?
You've probably seen those Rednote posts with beautiful photo collections - travel photos, outfit ideas, recipe steps, or before-and-after transformations. You want to save them all, but clicking "save image" one by one is tedious. That's where batch downloading comes in.
Batch downloading lets you grab all images from a Rednote post at once, automatically packaged into a ZIP file. It's faster, more organized, and saves you from the hassle of saving images individually. Whether you're collecting inspiration, saving tutorials, or archiving content, batch downloads make it easy.
Understanding Rednote Image Posts
Rednote supports different types of content:
Image Posts: Multiple photos in a single post (up to 9 images typically) Video Posts: Videos with thumbnail images Mixed Content: Some posts combine images and videos
For batch downloading, we're focusing on image posts - those posts where the creator shares multiple photos. These are perfect for batch downloads because you can get all images in one go.
Step 1: Find the Image Post
First, you need to find a Rednote post with multiple images:
- Open the Rednote app or website
- Browse until you find a post with multiple images
- Look for posts with dots or numbers indicating multiple photos (like "1/5" or dots at the bottom)
- Tap or click to view the full post
Tip: Image posts are usually easy to spot - they show multiple photos in a grid or carousel format. Video posts typically show a play button overlay.
Step 2: Get the Post Link
Once you've found the post you want, get its link:
On Mobile App:
- Tap the share button (usually three dots or an arrow icon)
- Select "Copy Link" or "Share Link"
- The link is now copied to your clipboard
On Website:
- Click the share button
- Select "Copy Link"
- Or copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar
Link Format:
- Short links look like:
http://xhslink.com/o/6aLopQC51JJ - Full links look like:
https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/...
Both work fine for batch downloads. Short links are usually easier to share.
Step 3: Open Download Tool
Now you need a tool that supports batch image downloads. We'll use Rednote Video Download, which handles both videos and images:
- Open your web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.)
- Go to the Rednote download tool website
- You'll see a simple interface with an input box
No Registration Needed: Most good tools don't require accounts. You can use them immediately.
Step 4: Paste Link and Extract
This is the easy part:
- Paste the link: Click in the input box and paste your copied link (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V)
- Click Extract or Download: The tool will analyze the link
- Wait a moment: Processing usually takes 3-5 seconds
- View results: You'll see information about the post
What happens: The tool reads the Rednote link, finds all images in the post, and prepares them for download. It's all automatic - you don't need to do anything special.
Step 5: Download All Images
After the tool processes your link, you'll see options:
Option 1: Download All as ZIP (Recommended)
- Click "Download All Images" or "Download ZIP"
- All images are packaged into a single ZIP file
- One download gets you everything
Option 2: Download Individual Images
- Some tools let you download images one by one
- Useful if you only want specific images
- More clicks but more control
For batch downloads, always choose the ZIP option. It's faster and keeps everything organized.
Step 6: Extract and Organize
Once downloaded, you'll have a ZIP file:
- Locate the ZIP file: Usually in your Downloads folder
- Extract it: Right-click → Extract All (Windows) or double-click (Mac)
- View images: All images are now in a folder
- Organize: Rename the folder, move images, or keep as-is
File Naming: Images are usually numbered (image-1.jpg, image-2.jpg, etc.) or named with the post title. You can rename them if needed.
Tips for Better Batch Downloads
Check Image Count
Before downloading, check how many images the post has:
- Look for indicators like "1/5" or dots showing image count
- Some tools show image count before download
- Knowing the count helps verify you got everything
Verify Download Quality
After downloading:
- Open a few images to check quality
- Make sure they're not thumbnails (should be full resolution)
- Verify all images downloaded (count matches post)
Organize Downloads
Create a system for organizing downloaded images:
- By topic: Create folders like "Travel", "Food", "Fashion"
- By date: Organize by download date
- By creator: If you download from specific creators often
Save Storage Space
Image collections can take up space:
- Delete images you don't need
- Compress images if storage is tight
- Use cloud storage for long-term archiving
Common Issues and Solutions

Problem: ZIP file appears corrupted or won't extract
Solutions:
- Re-download the ZIP file
