About Vimeo Video Downloader

A professor embeds a Vimeo lecture but disables downloads. A client sends a password-protected review link and you need the file for editing. A portfolio site has a showreel you want to study offline. In every case, there's no download button, and Vimeo gives the uploader full control over that. This extension works around that limitation.

It detects any Vimeo player on any website, shows every available quality option from 360p to 4K, and saves the video as a standard MP4 file on your computer. Password-protected videos just need the same password you'd type into the player.

It works on vimeo.com, embedded players on course platforms and portfolio sites, client review pages, team-shared videos, and showcase collections. Up to three downloads run at the same time, each with its own progress bar. Files are named after the video title so your downloads folder stays organized. Right-click any embedded Vimeo player for a quick download option in the menu.

Everything processes locally in your browser. No video data leaves your machine, and your Vimeo credentials are never stored by the extension. Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera. Try 3 free downloads to test it out.
