If other Vimeo downloaders stopped working
If you have tried a Vimeo downloader recently and found it broken, you are not imagining it. A great many of them stopped working and have not been fixed.
This one works, and it works within the same boundary a viewer has: if a video is public or unlisted, it comes back; if it is locked behind a password or tied to one site, it does not. That limit is deliberate rather than a shortcoming — a tool that claimed to open password-protected videos would be telling you something worrying about itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do unlisted Vimeo links work?
Yes, as long as you paste the whole link. An unlisted video looks like vimeo.com/123456789/abcdef123 — that second part is a hash, and it is what grants access. Dropping it and pasting only the number will fail, correctly, because without the hash the video is not yours to see.
Why does a password-protected video fail immediately?
Because Vimeo checks the password before it hands out any file address at all. There is nothing to fetch until that check passes, so there is no partial result to offer. You get a clear message rather than a spinner that never resolves.
How long does a download link stay valid?
Vimeo signs its file URLs and they expire after roughly an hour. The links this site issues last fifteen minutes, so they always expire first — you will never be handed a link that outlives the file behind it.
Why do some videos offer only one quality?
Because that is all Vimeo published for them. Short or older uploads often carry a single progressive rendition. The list you see is what exists, not a menu padded out with re-encodes.
Can I download a video from a Vimeo Showcase?
Open the individual video and paste its own address. A showcase URL points at a collection rather than a file.
Is downloading from Vimeo legal?
Vimeo is where a lot of professional work lives — films, showreels, client deliverables — and its creators tend to care more about redistribution than most. Saving a public video to watch offline is ordinary use. Re-uploading someone’s film, or using their footage in your own work, is a licensing matter, and on this platform in particular it is worth taking seriously.
