Common questions
How do I download photos and live photos from Weibo?
Open the Weibo post, tap Share → Copy link, and paste the weibo.com or t.cn link into the box above. SMDownloader resolves every image in the 9-grid set plus video tracks for Live Photos so you can preview and save each file individually. Account-locked or private posts cannot be fetched.
What image quality is saved?
SMDownloader retrieves the largest available original images (up to mw2000 or original size) directly from Weibo CDN servers.
Can I save individual photos from a 9-grid post?
Yes. Every photo in the set is displayed separately in the preview so you can select and save whichever images you want.
How are Live Photos saved?
Live Photos are saved as both high-resolution still images and short video clips so you have access to both formats.
Why did my photo download fail?
Ensure the post is public and still accessible. If the creator deleted the post or restricted visibility, media cannot be retrieved.
