How to Save RedNote Videos on iPhone: Complete iOS Guide 2025

Overview

If you use an iPhone and want to save RedNote (Xiaohongshu) videos, this guide covers all available methods — from the built-in app feature to browser-based tools.

Method 1: RedNote App Built-In Save

The easiest approach is through the RedNote app itself:

1. Open the RedNote app and find the video post.
2. Tap the share icon at the bottom right.
3. In the share sheet, select "Save video".
4. The video downloads to your Photos app / Camera Roll.

Note: This option only appears when the creator has enabled saving on their post.

Method 2: Online Downloader in Safari

1. In RedNote, tap share then "Copy link."
2. Open Safari and go to rednote.savevideodown.com.
3. Paste the link and tap Get Video.
4. When the download button appears, tap and hold it, then choose "Download Linked File."
5. The file saves to your Files app. Move to Photos from there if needed.

Method 3: Screen Recording

1. Add Screen Recording to your Control Center via Settings.
2. Swipe down, tap the record button, and play your video.
3. Tap the red status bar when done and select Stop. The recording saves to Photos.

Troubleshooting

• No "Save Video" option: The creator has disabled saving. Use an online tool instead.
• Safari download fails: Try tap-and-hold on the download link and select "Download Linked File."
• Video won't play: Rename the file to .mp4 if it has an unusual extension.
