Why You Need the Link
The first step for any online downloader is copying the link to the specific RedNote post. Without it, no tool can find or process the content.

Copy a RedNote Link on Desktop

Link Formats Explained
- Short link: https://xhslink.com/XXXXX (from mobile app)
- Full URL: https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/[post-id] (from web)
Both formats work with RedNote downloader tools.
Troubleshooting
Short link doesn't work
Open it in your browser first; it will redirect to the full URL. Copy that instead.
No "Copy link" option in share sheet
Scroll through the share options — it may be hidden. Look for "Copy URL" or similar.
FAQ
Do RedNote links expire?
No. Links remain valid as long as the post exists and hasn't been deleted.
