Vimeo Downloader

Vimeo downloader — up to 4K MP4.

Paste any public Vimeo URL and save the video in original quality. No signup, no Vimeo Plus required, no watermark — just the file.

Only download content you own or have explicit permission to use.

  1. 1

    Copy the Vimeo URL

    On vimeo.com, copy the address bar. The standard form is vimeo.com/<numeric_id> — also accepts vimeo.com/channels/<channel>/<id> and showcase URLs.

  2. 2

    Paste into VidPickr

    Drop the URL into the input above. VidPickr lists every quality Vimeo offers for that video — from 360p up to 4K when the uploader provided it.

  3. 3

    Save the MP4

    Pick a resolution. The file streams straight from Vimeo's CDN to your disk. For audio-only, pick MP3 or M4A from the same panel.

Original upload quality, no re-encoding

Vimeo is known for serving uploads at higher bitrates than YouTube — creators choose it specifically for visual fidelity. VidPickr preserves that: the MP4 you save is exactly the source variant Vimeo’s player streams, no transcoding, no quality drop.

Some uploaders post in 4K, some in 1080p high-bitrate. Whatever’s available on the page, you’ll see in the quality picker.

No Vimeo Plus required

Vimeo’s native "Download" button only appears for paid Plus / Pro accounts and only when the uploader explicitly enables it. For free accounts, the button is hidden — even on public videos that anyone can view in the browser.

VidPickr doesn’t need that toggle. If the video plays in your browser, it can be saved.

Password-protected and private videos

Public Vimeo videos work without anything special. Password-protected and unlisted-but-private videos require the password / a signed embed URL to even view them; we don’t bypass either. If you can play the video by entering the password, save the page URLafter unlocking it and paste that into VidPickr.

Subtitles when the uploader provides them

Vimeo creators can attach SRT subtitle tracks to their videos. When they do, you’ll see those tracks listed on the result page alongside the video qualities. Pick a language, get the .srt file — drop it straight into Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or your favorite editor.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the Vimeo download button work for me?
Vimeo's built-in download requires the uploader to enable it on each video AND requires the viewer to have a paid Plus/Pro account on Vimeo. VidPickr works on any video you can play in your browser, paid plan or not.
Can I download 4K Vimeo videos?
Yes, when the uploader posted in 4K. If the source is only 1080p, VidPickr shows you 1080p — we never upscale or fake higher resolutions.
Does it work for private / password-protected videos?
Only if you can already view them. Password-locked videos need the password unlocked in your browser session, then VidPickr can read the same stream URL the player uses.
Will the audio be intact?
Yes. The MP4 download is the full file with original audio. Audio-only MP3 / M4A exports use the same source track without re-encoding.
Is downloading from Vimeo legal?
Saving for personal/offline viewing is generally fine. Re-uploading or commercial use requires the creator's permission. Always credit the source.
