You may now enjoy your video and use it wherever you want.
You can download videos from Vimeo with an unlimited number of times and with any resolution/file size you need.
Troubleshooting
If you struggle to find the Download button, it means the owner of the video doesn’t allow video downloads or simply can’t enable this function because of the type of their account on Vimeo.
If you don’t find the Download button with the link we provided just let us know. We enable downloadable videos in just seconds.
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to download a video from Vimeo on mobile. You have to use a desktop to download video files.
Bonus: How to choose the right resolution for downloading
| Resolution | File size for 1 minute video | Where to use |
| SD 240p | 2-3 Mb | Good for messengers like WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber Easy and fast downloading but quality is low |
| SD 360p | 4-6 Mb | Best size/video quality ration to use on mobile. Ideal for WhatsApp and other messengers |
| SD 540p | 8-12 Mb | Your choice if you are going to use video on tablets Too big and slowly downloaded using messengers |
| SD 720p | 15-25 Mb | A reasonable compromise between speed and quality on desktop Good for embedding in presentations like PowerPoint or Keynote |
| HD1080p | 30-60 Mb | Great for desktop and good for big screens like HD TV However, the file size could affect the speed of your software like PowerPoint |
| 2K | 100-200 Mb | Too good and too heavy for desktop. Ideal for recent TVs models |
| 4K | 400-600 Mb | If you really need superb quality and have really high-quality content Good for 4K TVs, professional PCs, really big screens |
Enjoy and unlock the full potential of your videos for your business and life
