Xiaohongshu (RedNote) video notes live at xiaohongshu.com/explore/NOTE_ID and the international twin rednote.com/explore/NOTE_ID. Mobile Share sheets often hand you xhslink.com/a/ or xhslink.com/o/ shortlinks that expand into the same note plus an xsec_token query parameter. Paste any of those public addresses above. SMDownloader resolves the note payload, picks the primary H.264 progressive stream with AAC stereo audio, and returns a standard MP4 you can preview and keep — typically 1080p or 720p depending on the creator upload. User profiles and search feeds are ignored.
Step-by-step guide to saving Xiaohongshu videos
- 01
Copy the note share link
In the Xiaohongshu or RedNote app, open the video note, tap Share, and copy the explore URL or xhslink address (see /guides/xiaohongshu/how-to-copy-xiaohongshu-link-on-mobile). On desktop, copy xiaohongshu.com/explore/… from the address bar (/guides/xiaohongshu/how-to-copy-xiaohongshu-link-on-web).
- 02
Paste into SMDownloader
Drop the link into the field above and click Download. Shortlinks expand and note metadata loads so you can confirm the creator and duration.
- 03
Preview and save the MP4
Watch the preview player, pick the offered 1080p or 720p stream, then tap Download to store the H.264/AAC MP4 on your phone or computer.
Why use SMDownloader
- H.264 + AAC MP4 output. Delivers progressive MP4 files with H.264 video and AAC stereo audio, playable on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS without extra codecs.
- xhslink & xsec_token handling. Expands xhslink.com/a/ and /o/ mobile shortlinks, carries xsec_token parameters through, and lands on the canonical explore note ID.
- Clean video stream. Targets the primary note video track so you preview and save the clip without share-sheet overlays or in-app chrome baked into the file.
- Mobile and desktop workflows. Works with RedNote app Share → Copy Link on iOS/Android and with explore URLs copied from a desktop browser address bar — no signup needed.

Common questions
Can I download videos from RedNote international links?
Yes. Paste rednote.com/explore/… web links or xhslink.com mobile share redirects — SMDownloader treats them the same as xiaohongshu.com explore URLs.
Does the download include a clean video stream without overlays?
Yes. We locate the primary progressive video stream Xiaohongshu publishes for the note so playback is free of share-sheet overlays and in-app chrome.
Which video resolution is provided — 1080p or 720p?
We extract the highest progressive resolution the author published, typically 1080p or 720p at about 30 frames per second, packaged as H.264/AAC MP4.
How do xhslink shortlinks and xsec_token parameters work?
App Share links often look like xhslink.com/a/… or xhslink.com/o/… and may include an xsec_token. Paste them as copied; we expand the shortlink and keep the token so the note resolves.
Can I save Xiaohongshu videos on iOS and Android?
Yes. Copy the link from the RedNote app Share sheet, paste it here on your phone browser, preview the clip, then download the MP4 into Photos or Files. Desktop browsers work the same way.
How do I save multi-photo carousel notes?
This tool is for video notes only. Paste image or carousel notes into the Xiaohongshu Image Downloader instead — that page extracts each photo from the album.
