Download from Vimeo it is possible directly from the site but it is not allowed for all videos. Fortunately, it is very easy to take advantage of convenient free external services and programs to get around this limitation.

In general only i copyright free videos allow direct download from Vimeo, we invite you not to violate anyone’s rights.

Recall that, Vimeo is one of YouTube’s main competing platform, as we have already observed in the best alternatives to YouTube.

If a video allows direct download, under the player you will find the “Download” button icon and, by clicking on it, a simple contextual menu will open. From the menu we can choose which one quality we want to download the video and in what language we want to download the sottotitoli (if any). In short, everything is very simple and immediate.

There are many convenient portals that allow you to easily download from video sharing portals such as Vimeo.

Clipconverter

This is a site absolutely similar to the previous one. We have also selected this for its ease of use and for the absence of invasive advertising. It should be noted that compared to other similar sites this allows you to download even a single piece of video simply by choosing the start and end time.

Clipconverter fully supports Vimeo and it’s fully translated into Italian. The procedure of use is absolutely similar to that of Downvids (these services all work the same way) and therefore repeating it would be redundant. You can easily reach the service on this page: ClipConverter.

Yout

If you want a stylish alternative, you can’t miss Yout, although the name has a marked affinity with that of a famous video sharing platform, it works great with all and therefore also with Vimeo.

The use is very simple and the portal is also translated into Italian. To download a video from Vimeo just:

• go to the Yout site
• then enter the video address in the appropriate text field and press the “Enter”On the keyboard
• after a very short upload we will be taken to a section where, using the slider, we can choose when the clip to download should start and finish
• you can also choose if you want to download the audio or just the video
• finally, click on the button “The format changes to Mp4“ (yes, the translation is not exactly happy)

Download from Vimeo via browser addons

The addons are little programs that add practical functions to our browsers. Add-ons (otherwise called extensions) were born on Firefox to then arrive on Chrome and other programs to browse.

There are handy addons that allow you to download videos from almost any website (except from the well-known Google video portal and protected sites such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) and therefore also from Vimeo.

Most of these solutions are similar: they act as grabbers, locate the video being played and allow you to download it. They work on every platform on which browsers are installed.

It is a well-known addon that allows you to download the videos being played with a simple click.

If you want to install it, you can find it for free, you will find it here:
