Download public Weibo videos and photos online

Weibo posts surface as weibo.com/detail/STATUS_ID, weibo.com/{uid}/{mblogid}, mobile m.weibo.cn/status/STATUS_ID pages, and t.cn shortlinks from the app Share sheet. Paste any public address above. SMDownloader expands shortlinks, reads the status payload, and lists what the post contains — progressive 1080p MP4 video with sound, full-resolution 9-grid photo albums, or Live Photo still-plus-motion pairs — so you can preview each asset and save it locally. Account profiles, private posts, and deleted updates cannot be fetched.

How to download Weibo videos and photos

  1. 01

    Copy the post link

    In the Weibo app, open a public post, tap Share, and choose Copy Link (often a t.cn short URL). On desktop, copy weibo.com/detail/… or weibo.com/{uid}/{mblogid} from the address bar.

  2. 02

    Paste into SMDownloader

    Drop the link into the field above and click Download. Shortlinks expand and the status media list loads for preview.

  3. 03

    Preview and save

    Watch the video preview or browse the photo gallery / Live Photo pair, then save the MP4 or images to your device.

Why use SMDownloader

  • 1080p MP4 video streams. Pulls the highest progressive MP4 Weibo exposes for logged-out viewers — commonly up to 1080p with AAC stereo sound — ready to preview and keep.
  • 9-grid photo albums. Resolves every image in a multi-photo grid at the source resolution Weibo publishes, so you can save each frame individually.
  • Live Photo motion clips. When a post includes Weibo Live Photos, extracts both the high-resolution still and the short motion video clip for offline use.
  • t.cn and mobile URL expansion. Expands t.cn short codes and accepts m.weibo.cn/status/ links alongside desktop weibo.com/detail/ and uid/mblogid paths — no Weibo login required.

Supported link formats

  • https://weibo.com/detail/STATUS_ID
  • https://weibo.com/UID/MBLOGID
  • https://m.weibo.cn/status/STATUS_ID
  • https://t.cn/SHORTCODE

Paste a single public post or short link — profile URLs (weibo.com/u/…) and search pages are not supported.

Only public Weibo posts can be resolved. Private, restricted, or deleted posts cannot be fetched. Videos are saved in up to 1080p MP4, and images in original high resolution.

Where files save

After you confirm a save, the file goes to your browser's default download location — usually Downloads on desktop or your photo gallery on mobile. SMDownloader does not host or email files.

Limits

What links will not work

  • Bypass private accounts, close-friends stories, or login-only posts.
  • Bulk-scrape entire profiles, hashtags, or channels automatically.
  • Promise universal no-watermark, 4K, or DRM-free output when the source does not expose it.

Common questions

How do I download media from Weibo?

Paste a public weibo.com post or t.cn short link into the field above and click Download. SMDownloader lists 1080p MP4 videos, Live Photos, or 9-grid image albums so you can preview and save. Profile pages and private posts are not supported.

Do t.cn short links work?

Yes. Short links copied from the mobile Weibo app (such as https://t.cn/ABCXYZ) are expanded automatically before media extraction.

Can I download Live Photos from Weibo?

Yes. When a post contains Weibo Live Photos, SMDownloader extracts both the high-resolution still image and the matching motion video clip.

Can I download all images from a 9-grid album?

Yes. Paste an album post URL and every picture in the grid is extracted at its highest available source quality so you can save them one by one.

Which Weibo URL formats are accepted?

Use weibo.com/detail/STATUS_ID, weibo.com/{uid}/{mblogid}, m.weibo.cn/status/STATUS_ID, or a t.cn shortlink. Profile pages (weibo.com/u/…) and search results will not resolve.

Why did my Weibo URL fail?

Common reasons include pasting a profile page instead of a post, the post being deleted or set to private, or an expired shortlink. Confirm the post opens publicly in a private browsing window, then re-copy the link.
