Common questions

How do I download photos from a Weibo post?

Copy the post link from Weibo, paste it above, click Download, and preview each high-resolution image in the gallery before saving.

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

Yes. When a Weibo post contains multiple images, SMDownloader extracts all of them so you can save each full-res picture individually.

How do Weibo live photos work?

Weibo live photos include both a still photo and a short video clip. SMDownloader extracts the media components so you can save either or both.

What resolution do downloaded Weibo photos have?

Photos are fetched at original source resolution (large/oslarge CDN format) as uploaded by the author without thumbnail compression.
