How to download videos from 红果 (Hongguo): the complete guide
You can't export a video from inside the 红果 app itself — it only streams. To download a 红果 (Hongguo) video, use a desktop downloader that turns the stream into a file. The free Hongguo Downloader for Windows does this: paste a 红果 share link (or search the title), pick the quality, and it saves the video to your PC as a full-1080p .mp4 you own.
People search for a "Hongguo video downloader" for one simple reason: 红果 lets you *watch* videos, but never gives you the file. Here's exactly how to get a real video out of the platform and onto your computer.
Can you download videos directly from the 红果 app?
No. Like most streaming apps, 红果 plays videos but has no "export" or "save as file" option — and any in-app offline mode stays locked inside the app. So to actually keep a 红果 video, you download it with a small tool on your computer that saves it as a standard .mp4.
What you can download from 红果
- Individual episodes, or a whole series in one go
- Both classic short-dramas and AI-generated dramas (AI 短剧)
- Anything you can find by title or that's on the Trending boards
Every one is saved as a plain, playable .mp4 file — no converting, no ffmpeg.
How to download a 红果 video (step by step)
- Install Hongguo Downloader. Download the free app and run it — no account, no emulator.
- Get the video. In the 红果 app, open the drama, tap Share, and copy the link — then paste it into Hongguo Downloader. Or just search the title inside the app.
- Choose quality and episodes. Pick the whole series or specific episodes, up to full 1080p.
- Download. Press Download — each video saves to your chosen folder as a .mp4 you can watch offline.
Getting a share link from 红果
Pasting a link is the fastest way to grab a specific video. In the 红果 app, open the drama you want, look for the Share button, and choose Copy link. Paste that into Hongguo Downloader and it resolves the drama instantly, ready to download.
Video quality, format and where files go
Downloads come in up to full 1080p as standard .mp4 files — one per episode, named 第NNN集.mp4, inside a folder for each drama. They save to a folder you choose (your Videos folder by default) and play in any video app, on any device, offline. For more on organising them, see how to download 红果 short-dramas to your PC.
Is there a cost?
No — the free plan downloads 2 videos (dramas) per day at full 1080p, with no account. A one-time license key unlocks unlimited downloads if you want it.
