How to Download RedNote Videos and Photos
One workflow for RedNote, Xiaohongshu, 小红书, and XHS public note links, with separate handling for video notes and photo posts.
Short answer
RedNote and Xiaohongshu use the same SnapVideoTools downloader. Paste a public link from rednote.com, xiaohongshu.com, or xhslink.com; a video note can return video and cover options, while a photo note can return one or more individual images.
RedNote, Xiaohongshu, 小红书, and XHS
These names refer to the same content ecosystem for this workflow. SnapVideoTools keeps one canonical Xiaohongshu downloader so the names do not create duplicate tool pages.

How video notes and photo notes differ
A video note usually returns a playable video when one is publicly exposed. A photo note can return several image files, presented individually and in the order supplied by the source. A cover is not a replacement for a missing full video or gallery.
Public access and source limits
- Private, deleted, login-only, follower-only, regional, or age-restricted notes are unavailable.
- A short xhslink.com link must still redirect to a supported public note.
- Image dimensions, video quality, watermark status, and file types depend on the returned source assets.
- Profiles, collections, search pages, and account-wide batch downloads are not supported by this guide.
