PUBLIC CREATOR AVATARS
Save a RedNote profile picture without the extra steps.
RedNote only shows profile pictures as a small circle, and the app has no "save avatar" button. This RedNote profile downloader reads the public page behind a profile or post link and returns the avatar image itself, so you can view it at full size and save it. No account or login is needed, and it works on iPhone, Android, and desktop browsers for RedNote and Xiaohongshu profiles alike.
Preview before saving
The result shows the avatar at its exposed size so you can check it is the right account.
Keep it permission-based
Save profile images only when you have the right to use them.
WHAT YOU GET
The avatar file, bigger than the circle.
Every public RedNote page carries the author's avatar as an image file on RedNote's content servers. The feed shows it cropped into a small circle; the file behind it is a larger square. The tool finds that file and gives you a direct button to it.
It reads the live page each time, so the result is always the creator's current picture, not a cached copy.
FILE DETAILS
One image, as the page serves it.
Profile pictures are the simplest case on this site: a single file, no slides, no clips.
01
A square image
RedNote stores avatars square; the circle is only how the app displays them. You get the square, which is handy for cropping your own way.
02
Full size, not the 120-pixel thumbnail
Post pages reference the avatar as a 120-pixel thumbnail; the tool requests the full-size file behind it instead, typically around 1,000 to 1,300 pixels square depending on what the creator uploaded.
03
JPG
RedNote serves avatars as standard JPG files, which open natively on any phone or computer.
04
No watermark, no edits
Avatars never carry the app's username watermark, and the tool does not resize, crop, or re-encode anything.
STEP BY STEP
How to download a RedNote profile picture
Two kinds of link work: the profile itself, or any public post by that creator.
-
STEP 01COPYCopy a profile or post link
On the creator's profile page, tap Share → Copy link. If that is awkward, open any of their public posts and copy that link instead; the post page includes the author's avatar.
-
STEP 02PASTEPaste it into the Profile image tool
Paste the link or the whole share message into the field above and press Find profile. The avatar appears as the preview.
-
STEP 03SAVE
Save the avatar
Press Download Profile Image. If the image opens in a new tab instead of downloading, long-press it on a phone or right-click on a computer and save.
BEFORE YOU PASTE
What works, what doesn't
The tool sees what a logged-out visitor sees. If RedNote hides the profile behind a login, so does the result.
Works
- Public profile links copied from the app or the website.
- Links to any public post by the creator (the author avatar is in the page).
- RedNote and Xiaohongshu accounts, xhslink.com and xhslink.cn short links.
- Checking who posted something before you re-share your own content.
- Your own avatar, when you want the square file the app no longer offers.
Doesn't
- A username or display name on its own; a link is required.
- Private or restricted accounts, or profile pages that redirect to login.
- The creator's original upload; only the size the page exposes.
- Cover or banner images; RedNote profiles expose the avatar only.
- Expired share links; copy a fresh one from the app.
DEVICE NOTES
Saving the file on each device.
The download button points straight at RedNote's content servers, so your browser decides whether to download the image or open it first.
Safari or Chrome
If the avatar opens in a tab, long-press it and choose Save to Photos. Photos keeps the square; crop to a circle there if you need one.
Chrome and others
Chrome usually saves straight to Downloads. If the image opens instead, long-press → Download image.
Any desktop browser
Right-click the opened image → Save image as. It is a plain JPG, so any viewer or editor opens it.

PROFILE IMAGE FAQ
Questions about RedNote profile pictures
Links, sizes, private accounts, and whether anyone finds out.
Can I download a RedNote profile picture from a username?
Not from the name alone; the tool needs a link. Open the creator's profile in the app, tap Share, choose Copy link, and paste that. A link to any of their public posts also works, because the post page includes the author's avatar.
Is the profile picture full size or HD?
Yes, as full as RedNote serves it. Post pages reference a 120-pixel thumbnail, but the tool requests the full-size file behind it, typically around 1,000 to 1,300 pixels square, far larger than the circle shown in the feed.
Does it work for private accounts?
No. The tool only reads what a logged-out visitor can see. If a profile is private or the page redirects to a login screen, nothing is returned.
Profile link or post link, which is better?
Either works. A post link is often easier to copy and always carries the author's current avatar. A profile link works when the profile page itself is public.
Is it the creator's current avatar?
Yes. The tool reads the live public page each time, so you get whatever avatar the profile shows right now, not a cached copy.
Does the creator get notified?
The tool sends nothing to RedNote beyond loading the public page, the same request a browser makes when anyone opens the post. It does not log in, follow, like, or interact with the account.
Why might no profile image appear?
The profile may be private or restricted, the link may have expired, or the page may not expose an avatar to visitors. Try a fresh link to one of the creator's public posts instead.
Is this affiliated with RedNote?
No. RedNote Downloader is an independent utility and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by RedNote or Xiaohongshu.
A QUICK NOTE
A profile picture is someone's face.
Save your own avatar, or a creator's with their permission, for example for a collaboration post or a media kit. Do not use anyone's picture to impersonate them. Read our terms of use and privacy policy.
