Vimeo Downloader FAQs

Is the Vimeo downloader free?

Yes — every download and conversion is free. No signup, no payment, no daily limit, no watermark.

What URLs can I paste?

Any public vimeo.com video URL — including channel pages, showcase pages, and direct video URLs. Private password-protected videos won't work.

Can I download password-protected videos?

No. Password-protected and private Vimeo videos can't be downloaded — only public videos and public unlisted videos work.

What qualities are offered?

Whichever qualities Vimeo serves to public viewers — typically HD 1080p, 720p, 540p, 360p, plus audio-only. Some uploads only have lower qualities depending on the creator's plan.

How do I turn the Vimeo video into a GIF?

Save the MP4 here first, then drop it into our MP4 to GIF tool. Pick a start time and duration, and download the GIF.

Will the audio be included?

Yes — every MP4 quality keeps the original audio. Audio-only is also offered as a separate format.

Is downloading Vimeo videos legal?

Saving public videos for personal use is generally fine. Re-uploading or rebroadcasting copyrighted content without the creator's permission is not — credit the original creator if you re-share.

Why do I see fewer qualities than on Vimeo's player?

Vimeo serves different qualities to different clients. Our extractor uses a public-browser profile, so we see whatever a typical visitor sees. If a quality is missing, the creator restricted it.

Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows?

Yes. Works in any modern browser. The MP4 saves directly to your device.

Are there file size limits?

No cap from us. Vimeo's own per-video size limit is the only ceiling, which depends on the uploader's plan.
