What to expect
Private posts, friends-circle restrictions, or content deleted by the author cannot be fetched. If the post opens in an incognito browser tab without signing in, SMDownloader can resolve it. Only save content you own or have permission to download.

Common questions
How do I download media from Weibo?
Copy Share → Copy link on a public post in the Weibo app or address bar, paste the weibo.com or t.cn link above, click Download, preview media in your browser, then save.
Do t.cn short links work?
Yes. Mobile app share sheets generate t.cn shortlinks. Paste the raw t.cn link and SMDownloader expands it to the full canonical Weibo status URL automatically.
Can I download 9-grid photo sets?
Yes. When a Weibo post has multiple photos, SMDownloader resolves every image at original source resolution so you can save each picture individually.
How do Weibo live photos work?
Weibo live photos include both a still photo and a motion video clip. SMDownloader extracts both components so you can save either or both.
What video resolutions are available?
SMDownloader extracts the highest quality MP4 stream exposed by Weibo, typically 720p or 1080p Full HD depending on creator upload.
Do I need a Weibo account to download?
No account or login required. You can save public videos and photos directly without registering a phone number or installing the app.
Why won't my Weibo link download?
Common causes include private accounts, VIP-only or follower-only restrictions, deleted content, or pasting a user profile link instead of a specific post link.
