Xiaohongshu, also known internationally as REDnote, is strongly visual and commonly uses portrait image notes. A consistent 3:4 series works well for mobile browsing, while square and landscape versions remain useful for product grids and cross-platform reuse.
Common Image Size Reference
| Placement | Working Size | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portrait cover | 1242 x 1660 | 3:4 | A strong working size for headlines, people, and products. |
| Portrait note image | 900 x 1200 | 3:4 | Useful for tutorials, steps, and image-note sequences. |
| Square image | 1080 x 1080 | 1:1 | Useful for product grids and reusable campaign assets. |
| Landscape image | 1200 x 900 | 4:3 | Useful for scenes, comparisons, and wider compositions. |
| Profile photo working file | 400 x 400 | 1:1 | Center the subject and keep text away from corners. |
Protecting Cover Headlines
Keep the headline, face, product, and key result away from the outer edges. Review both the feed cover and profile-grid thumbnail because they can expose different portions of the same image.
Building Consistent Image Notes
A multi-image note feels easier to read when every page uses the same ratio, title position, margin system, and visual hierarchy. Crop the batch first, then add platform-specific text and a restrained watermark.
Cropping and Export Tips
- Use large, high-contrast cover text.
- Keep one ratio throughout a multi-image note when possible.
- Preserve a high-resolution clean master for other platforms.
- Use a subtle watermark that does not compete with the content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Xiaohongshu cover size?
A 3:4 portrait canvas is a practical default. TapCrop includes a 1242 x 1660 preset for covers.
Should REDnote images be 3:4 or square?
Portrait tutorials, people, and products often suit 3:4. Use square images when the asset must also work in product grids or other platforms.
Can I batch watermark Xiaohongshu images?
Yes. TapCrop applies the same text watermark to a batch while allowing font, color, opacity, and position controls.
