Waterfall cards, homepage mood, and live frames
Xiaohongshu (also searched as RED or RedNote) judges note covers as small 3:4 stamps in a dense feed. Practical exports use 1080×1440 or a clearer 1242×1656; square 1080×1080 is optional. Video covers often reuse the same 3:4 still habit.
Your profile picture is a circular / rounded square (try 800×800). The homepage background is a short ~1000×800 (5:4) mood image—not Twitter’s 3:1 header. Live entry cards commonly want full 9:16 at 1080×1920.
International creators should re-crop from Instagram or TikTok instead of blind reuse. Each guide includes practical pixels, a checklist, and an in-browser crop.
