About Vimeo Video Downloader
You know the situation: a client sends you a Vimeo link for review, but downloads are disabled. Or there is a lecture you want to study offline, and the professor turned off the download option. Maybe you spotted a portfolio reel worth referencing later. In all these cases, the uploader controls the download button, and it is off. This extension solves that.
It spots Vimeo players wherever they live — on vimeo.com, inside course portals, on portfolio websites — and gives you every quality option from 360p through 4K. For password-protected videos, just type in the viewer password you already have. The result is a standard MP4 file saved to your computer.
You can run up to three downloads at the same time, each with its own progress bar. Files get named after the video title so your downloads folder stays tidy. There is even a right-click option for quick saves on embedded players.
Nothing gets uploaded anywhere. All the heavy lifting — manifest parsing, stream merging, quality selection — happens right inside your browser. Your Vimeo credentials stay private. Works with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera. Try 3 free downloads to see if it fits your workflow.
Walkthrough
How it Works
No command line, no screen recording, and no extra workflow outside your browser.
02
Navigate to any Vimeo video
Go to vimeo.com, open a review link from a client, or visit any site with an embedded Vimeo player. The extension picks up the player on its own.
03
Choose quality and download
Hit the download button, type the password if the video needs one, pick your resolution, and the extension grabs and merges the streams into an MP4.
04
Edit or archive offline
The finished MP4 lands in your downloads folder with the video title as the filename, ready for editing, presentations, or offline reference.

Embedded videos finally accessible
We use Vimeo embeds across our training portal. This extension finds them instantly and the merged audio/video comes out perfectly synced.
