About Weibo Downloader

Weibo’s feed compresses images to save bandwidth, but this tool fetches the original-resolution files. When you browse a public post, the extension detects the true source and lets you save photos and videos at the highest available quality.

Multi-image posts with up to 18 photos are handled seamlessly—each image downloads at full resolution. You’ll see the same clarity the uploader intended, free from feed compression artifacts.

Video posts are also downloaded at the best bitrate offered through the web interface. Whether you’re archiving personal memories or collecting reference material, you preserve every pixel.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using Weibo Downloader in real workflows.

Original quality Weibo photos are a big help

I follow dozens of Chinese fashion accounts on Weibo and the image quality in the feed is usually compressed. This downloader pulls the original uploads which are significantly sharper. Multi-image posts with 9 or 18 photos all come through cleanly.

Useful for Chinese social media research

I research Chinese social media trends for a marketing agency and need to collect visual content from Weibo regularly. Batch downloading from user timelines saves me hours of manual work every week.

Clean archive of my entire Weibo history

I wanted to archive my own Weibo posts before deleting my account. The timeline downloader grabbed everything including videos and multi-image posts, all organized by date. Clean and straightforward.
