Download within Vimeo
Unlike most video services, some of the videos on Vimeo can be downloaded to a computer. If the download option for a video is available, click the Download button below the video, as shown in the picture below. After clicking the Download button, a list of available formats is displayed. The most common video format available for download is the SD format.
Note
Download Vimeo Videos To Computer
The download option is not available for all videos. Users must have a Business, Plus, or Pro account to enable their videos for download by other users.
Saving a Vimeo video using another service
Some third-party websites allow you to enter the URL of the video you want to save to your computer, and offer a video file for you to download. Below is a simple three-step process to download any Vimeo video.
Note
If you are at a school or job that is blocking Vimeo, these steps may not work.
First, go to Vimeo and navigate to the video you want to save. When you've found the page, press Ctrl+L on your keyboard to highlight the URL in the address bar, and then Ctrl+C to copy the Internet address.
Once the URL is copied, paste it in the text field below by clicking inside the box and pressing Ctrl+V. Then, click the Download Video button.
If done properly, a new window appear displaying a preview of the video, similar to the one shown below. Click the drop-down list to the right of the green Download button to view the available video formats and quality. For most users, we suggest downloading the MP4 format. Other available formats may include FLV, 3GP, and WebM. Once you have selected your format, click the appropriate download link.
After the file is downloaded, it is available in your downloads folder.
I still can't download a video
If you do not get a preview like our example, make sure the link you are using works by opening the page in a new window. Once verified as working, try the above steps again. If the steps continue not to work, try refreshing this page by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard and following the above steps again. If that still does not work, you can try installing a utility to download videos on Windows, Linux, and Apple macOS computers.
It is only saving as audio and not video
Make sure you are choosing the 'MP4 360p' or 'MP4 480p' option from the download link. If you choose 'Audio MP4 128,' it only downloads the audio and not the video. If you did choose the right download link, it's very likely that the player you are using does not have the necessary codec for video files. Download the free VLC player for your computer and try to play the video file from within VLC and not the player you are currently using.
Vimeo bookmarklet, browser add-ons, and extensions
If you plan on downloading several videos, you can also use the Computer Hope bookmarklet. See our bookmarklet page for more information about bookmarklets. There are also browser add-ons for Firefox and extensions for Google Chrome to download videos from video sites.
