Why download a Vimeo video?
On Vimeo, the download button only appears if the creator turns it on. This tool lets you save as MP4 the public videos you need as a file: your own portfolio, a course recording you have the creator’s permission to keep, or a Creative Commons video.
We show the qualities Vimeo offers for that video, up to the highest available, and you can extract just the audio as MP3 to listen to a talk or interview without a screen.
It does not work with private, password-protected, paid (Vimeo On Demand) or domain-restricted videos, because they are not public.
How to download a Vimeo video
- Copy the video address on Vimeo (vimeo.com/…).
- Paste the link into the tool and click "Analyze video".
- Choose the MP4 quality or "Audio only (MP3)".

- Recovering the file of a video from your own portfolio.
- Watching a freely licensed short film or documentary offline.
- Listening to a conference or video podcast as MP3.
- Using a video in class when its creator allows downloading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download private or password-protected videos?
No. Only public videos can be downloaded. Private, password-protected, paid or single-site embedded videos are not available.
What quality is it downloaded in?
The one you choose among those Vimeo offers for that video, up to the highest available. The MP4 has video and audio in one file.
Can I download just the audio of a Vimeo video?
Yes. After analyzing the link, choose "Audio only (MP3)" to get the video's sound as a 320 kbps MP3. If the video has no audio track on Vimeo, an MP3 cannot be extracted and we will tell you.
Is it legal to download Vimeo videos?
You can download your own videos and those whose creator lets you save them. Reposting or using other people's videos without permission may break Vimeo's terms and copyright law. The tool only works with public videos: it does not access private accounts or protected content.
Is it free?
You get one free download per tool to try it out. A link that fails does not count. To keep downloading you need ToolStudio Pro, which gives you unlimited downloads on every platform, every other tool without limits and no ads. You can cancel anytime.
