Hongguo Downloader (红果下载器, also called a Hongguo video downloader or hongguoduanju video downloader) is a Windows app for saving 红果 short dramas, including AI dramas (AI 短剧) and comic dramas.
Every episode starts selected, so one click downloads them all. Want fewer? Press Clear, then click the episodes you want. A series with several seasons downloads every season in one go.
The series window shows every season and the sizes the series really comes in, from 1080p down, with about how much space each takes.
Downloads come in the original 1080p, several series at a time, with live progress and speed. Stop all in one click.
A few episodes have no 1080p copy. Those come in 720p, and Downloads says how many.
A slow or stalled connection is swapped out at once, so your downloads keep going.
Play opens the video right in the app window, as big as the window allows. The controls fade while you watch, and every episode plays with no extra add-ons.
Play and Open folder on every cover. Episodes play from your PC with no internet, and the new seasons of your dramas wait in their own tab. Select several to delete them at once: they go to the Recycle Bin.
A network drive has no Recycle Bin, so the app asks first.

How it compares
Want to keep a 红果 drama? You have three options. Here’s how a downloader compares with screen recording and the download button inside streaming apps.
| Point | Hongguo Downloader | Screen recording | In-app downloadinside a streaming app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real MP4 files in a folder you choose | Yes | Yes | No |
| Up to 1080p, no on-screen clutter | Yes | Depends | Depends |
| A whole series in one click | Yes | No | Depends |
| Faster than watching it play | Yes | No | Depends |
| Still yours if the show leaves the app | Yes | Yes | No |
| Nothing to sign into | Yes | Yes | Depends |
| Cost | Free: 2 new series a day. Plans from $9.99 | Free | Often coins or a subscription |
yes depends no
Screen recording is free but slow: one episode at a time, in real time, at whatever your screen shows. In-app downloads stay inside the app and can disappear when the show, or your subscription, does. A downloader saves clean MP4 files you keep, a whole series at a time.
Still stuck? Message @HongguoDownloaderBot or @M4st3r0 on Telegram, or email [email protected].
Yes. The Free plan downloads 2 new series a day, every episode of both, and lets you watch the first 5 episodes of any series in the app. No card and no account needed, and a series you started stays free to finish. For unlimited downloads, pick a plan above.
Close version 1, then install 2.0 on the same PC and open it, signed in to the same Windows account and online. Your key comes with you and your plan is active. After 2.0 opens, uninstall the old version.
Windows 10 (version 2004 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit. Setup is 158.6 MB and needs no administrator rights.
No. There’s nothing to sign into and no emulator to install: Setup brings everything the app needs. Paid plans use a key, not an account.
In your Videos folder (Videos\Hongguo) unless you pick another one, with a folder for each series and every episode as an MP4 file. You can change the folder any time in Settings, and saving to a network drive (NAS) works too.
Yes. Episodes you’ve downloaded play straight from your PC in the built-in player, with no internet. Browsing, downloading and the free plan need a connection, and a paid plan checks in online at least once every 72 hours.
That’s Windows SmartScreen. It warns about apps that haven’t run on many PCs yet; it isn’t a virus warning. If you downloaded Setup from this site, click More info, then Run anyway.
One key works on one PC at a time. Install the app on the new PC and enter your key in Account: the app asks “Move your key to this PC?”, and one click moves it. The old PC stops using it at its next check. You can also press Move key on the old PC first. A key can move once every 7 days, and from a new PC up to 4 times a year; after that, email support.
Yes. In Browse, choose AI drama in the genre filter, or paste a share link. Comic dramas and live-action series work the same way.
In the app, open Settings > Help > Report a bug. It saves a report (your key and Windows user name stay hidden), copies a short summary and opens our Telegram, ready to send. You can also message @HongguoDownloaderBot on Telegram or email [email protected].
Download 2 new series a day, every episode, and watch the first 5 episodes of any series. No card needed. Go unlimited whenever you want.
