Good to know
- Some creators enable a Download button directly on Vimeo. When it is there, it gives you the file they chose to share.
- Password protected videos and Vimeo On Demand titles you have to rent or buy are not supported on the website.
- Unlisted links are shared on purpose with a limited audience: check with the creator before keeping a copy.
Questions about Vimeo

Yes, when the creator uploaded the video in 4K. On the website, qualities above 720p use a credit; the desktop app includes them.
Does it work with embedded Vimeo videos?
Yes. Paste the player.vimeo.com link of the embed. Some embeds are restricted to the website that hosts them and may not work.
Can I download a private Vimeo video?
Private and password protected videos are not supported. Unlisted videos opened through their shared link work like public ones.
Is the Vimeo downloader free?
Your first download of the day is free, without signing up, up to 720p. Credits (packs of 20, 40 or 60 links) or the lifetime desktop app at 47.99 EUR unlock more.
