Why Download Rednote Videos?

When browsing Rednote, you often come across videos you really like: maybe cooking tutorials, travel guides, fashion tips, or just something interesting. You want to save them to watch later or share with friends, but the Rednote app itself doesn't support downloads. That's when you need download tools.

This article will teach you step-by-step how to download, even if you've never used such tools before.

Preparation

Before starting, you need:

  1. A phone or computer: Either works, depending on your preference
  2. Internet connection: WiFi or mobile data both work
  3. A browser: Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.
  4. Video link to download: Get it from the Rednote app

That's it - no software installation needed, no account registration required.

This is the most crucial step. If you get the link wrong, everything else will fail.

  1. Open the Rednote app and find the video you want to download
  2. Click the "Share" button in the bottom right corner (three dots icon)
  3. Select "Copy Link"
  4. The link is now copied to your clipboard

Important Notes:

  • Make sure to select "Copy Link," not "Share to WeChat" or other options
  • After copying, you can paste it in a memo or chat to confirm the link is correct
  • Links usually start with http://xhslink.com/ or https://www.xiaohongshu.com/

Method 2: Get from Browser

If you're opening Rednote in a computer browser:

  1. Copy the complete link from the browser address bar
  2. Make sure the link contains the video ID information
  3. If the link is long, copy everything without missing parts

Correct link formats:

  • http://xhslink.com/o/6aLopQC51JJ (short link)
  • https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/68f233120000000007022bc7 (full link)

Incorrect link formats:

  • Only copied part of the content
  • Copied a link shared to another platform
  • Link has expired

Step 2: Open Download Tool

We recommend using Rednote Video Download, one of the best free tools currently available.

  1. Open the download tool website in your browser
  2. You'll see a clean interface with an input box and download button
  3. No registration needed - use it directly

Tips:

  • Use Chrome or Edge browser for best compatibility
  • If the page loads slowly, refresh it
  • Make sure your internet connection is working

This step is simple, but there are a few details to note:

  1. Paste the link:
    • Click the input box
    • Press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste
    • Or right-click and select "Paste"
    • Confirm the link is complete, nothing missing
  2. Click download button:
    • After pasting, click the "Download" or "Extract" button
    • Wait a few seconds - the tool will process automatically
    • Don't click repeatedly - be patient and wait
  3. Check result:
    • If successful, it will show video information (title, author, etc.)
    • Then automatically start downloading or show a download button
    • If it fails, it will show an error message

Common Issue Handling:

  • "Invalid link" message: Check if the link is complete, copy again from Rednote
  • "Video doesn't exist" message: Video may have been deleted or removed
  • Keeps loading: Check your network, wait a bit, or refresh and try again

Step 4: Save the Video

After successful download, the video will be saved to your device:

Mobile Download

  • Videos are usually saved in the "Downloads" folder
  • You can find them in file manager
  • Or check browser download history

Computer Download

  • Videos are saved in the browser's default download folder
  • Usually the "Downloads" folder
  • You can check download location in browser settings

File Naming:

  • Tools automatically name files, usually including video title
  • If names are duplicate, numbers will be added automatically
  • You can rename after downloading

Downloading Image Posts

Besides videos, Rednote has many image posts that can also be downloaded:

Download Single Image

  1. Get the image post link (same method as videos)
  2. Paste into download tool
  3. Tool will identify all images
  4. Choose to download single or all images

Batch Download Images

  1. Select "Download All Images"
  2. Tool will automatically package into ZIP file
  3. Download ZIP file and extract
  4. All images are inside

Advantages:

  • Download all images at once, no need to save one by one
  • Maintains original image quality
  • Convenient for organizing and sharing

Advanced Tips

Tip 1: Batch Download Multiple Videos

If you want to download multiple videos:

  1. Collect all links first, save them in a text file
  2. Process one by one, don't open multiple tabs simultaneously
  3. Process the next one after finishing the previous
  4. Recommend 5-10 at a time to avoid network congestion

Tip 2: Get Watermark-Free Videos

In most cases, tools automatically try to download watermark-free versions:

  • If it shows "watermark-free download," it found the original file
  • If watermark can't be removed, the source video itself has watermarks
  • Choose high resolution download - watermarks are less noticeable

Tip 3: Choose Appropriate Quality

You can choose quality when downloading:

  • Original Quality: Largest file, best quality
  • HD: Moderate file size, very good quality
  • SD: Small file, average quality

Recommend original or HD quality unless storage is tight.
