Why MP4?
MP4 is the most widely supported video format. It plays in every browser, phone gallery, video editor and smart TV, so a Vimeo video saved as MP4 just works.
How to convert Vimeo to MP4
Copy the address from your browser bar while the video is open. Paste it above, press Download, pick MP4 and a quality, then wait for the countdown.
What a Vimeo MP4 is like
Vimeo MP4s are often high-quality landscape 16:9, good for portfolios, presentations and offline review.
Before you download
Only public videos with downloads possible are supported; private or password-protected videos are not. Many Vimeo creators disable downloads on purpose; respect their choice.

Frequently asked questions
Which MP4 quality should I choose for Vimeo videos?
Pick the largest size your phone or screen can show, or a smaller one to save storage and data. Free downloads go up to 720p; a Quick Pass unlocks 1080p and above where Vimeo offers it.
Will the Vimeo MP4 play on my phone, TV and editing software?
Yes. We use the widely compatible H.264 codec wherever the site provides it. A few very high resolutions use HEVC (H.265), which most modern devices play.
Does a Vimeo embed link work?
Use the video's own vimeo.com or player.vimeo.com link rather than the page where it is embedded.
What quality can I get from Vimeo?
Up to the resolution the creator uploaded, often 1080p. We list every quality available, and free downloads go up to 720p.
Can I save Vimeo audio as MP3?
Yes. Choose MP3 to extract the audio track. Check the creator's licence before sharing it.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Downloads are free. Free downloads start after a short countdown, and a Quick Pass removes the wait and unlock the highest qualities and larger batches.
