About Vimeo Video Downloader
When you need to work on client review videos or private team content without an internet connection, this tool has you covered. It uses your existing Vimeo login to access password-protected and private videos. No extra steps or workarounds are required.
Once detected, you can choose from the available quality tiers and save the video directly. The filename is based on the video title, keeping your downloads organized. Everything stays private with on-device processing.
It works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera. Just open the video page, let it load, and the extension will surface the save options for you.

Extension permissions explained
Every requested permission and the job it performs inside the extension.
Streams the final MP4 (or merged audio/video) to your downloads folder and keeps progress accurate for each item.
Stores licence activation, password prompts, and queue preferences locally so the downloader stays configured between sessions.
Detects Vimeo players on the tab you're viewing, whether on vimeo.com or embedded elsewhere, and injects download controls.
Monitors navigation so the extension can refresh download options as you move between videos, showcases, or embeds.
Reads video configuration data, manifests, and stream URLs from the player in order to retrieve the correct quality variants.
Sends prompts, success, and error alerts so you stay informed without watching the popup.
Adds a convenient "Download with Vimeo Video Downloader" option to the right-click menu for embedded players.
Uses your existing Vimeo session cookies to authenticate private, password-protected, or team videos directly in your browser.
Limits privileged access to vimeo.com, player.vimeo.com, and Vimeo CDN hosts so the extension only touches official endpoints required for downloading.
