Xiaohongshu (also known as RED or Little Red Book) shows note covers as a vertical card, and the most reliable shape is 3:4 — typically 1080×1440. A vertical cover takes up more of the feed than a square and reads better on a phone. This cropper locks the box to 3:4; type 1080 as the width and the height becomes 1440 automatically. Cropping it yourself keeps your title text and main subject in frame.
The cover is what people tap, so put your hook — a clear subject or a short title — in the upper-center, keep it bright and uncluttered, and avoid important detail at the extreme edges. Export PNG for crisp text or JPG for photos. Crop from the largest image you have so the vertical cover stays sharp.
On Xiaohongshu (RED / Little Red Book), the cover image is the single biggest factor in whether a note gets opened. A 3:4 vertical cover (1080×1440) takes up noticeably more space in the feed than a 1:1 square, so it draws the eye and gives you more room for a title and subject. The cover is effectively the tap target, so it has to communicate the value of the note at a glance. Lock 3:4 here, frame your hook in the upper-center, and you will avoid the cropping that happens when a square or landscape image is forced into the vertical card.
Strong covers tend to share a few traits: a short, bold title placed in the upper or central area; a single clear subject; bright, uncluttered backgrounds; and a consistent look across a series so followers recognize your notes. Avoid putting essential text at the very top or bottom where it can be clipped, and keep contrast high so the title is readable on a small phone screen. Export PNG for crisp text or JPG for photos, and crop from the largest image you have so the vertical cover stays sharp. For other vertical formats, the 9:16 cropper and 2:3 Pinterest cropper are a click away.
The Xiaohongshu Cover Cropper costs nothing, adds no watermark and asks for no login. Because it works entirely on the HTML canvas in your browser, your images never leave your device, so it is both quick and genuinely private, and it continues to function offline after the first load. It works identically across Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, supports both mouse and touch dragging, and lets you process one image after another without a page refresh. Download as PNG or WebP to retain transparency, or choose JPG for the most compact photo file. The crop frame is locked to the right shape, so every result is consistent without manual measuring.
