In today's Internet age, people increasingly rely on online video platforms for information and entertainment. As a well-known video sharing website, Vimeo is loved by many people for its high-quality video content. However, sometimes users want to download these videos to their local device for offline viewing or further editing. Although Vimeo does not officially provide downloading functions, through some clever methods, we can still complete this task without paying any fees.
Method 1: Use online video download tools
For those users who are not familiar with programming technology, online video download tools are a very convenient choice. Such tools usually do not require users to install any software. They only need to visit their official website and enter the video link to start downloading.
step:
1. Visit a reliable online video download website, such as VidDownload (official website address: https://viddownload.io/).
2. Copy the URL of the Vimeo video you want to download.
3. Paste the copied URL into the input box provided by the online tool.
4. Click the "Parse" or similar button and wait a few seconds until the video is successfully parsed.
5. Select the quality of the video and click the download button.
6. Save the file to your computer or other storage device.
Method 2: Use a browser extension
For users who frequently need to download videos, installing a browser extension may be a better solution. This method allows you to download videos faster without having to visit the online tool’s website every time.
Usage tutorial:
1. Install the Video DownloadHelper extension. You can download it from the Firefox add-on library (https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/) or the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ video-downloadhelper/lpkffljmfoafcdhmliebbediccbghlhn) to download this extension.
2. Open the Vimeo website and find the video you want to download.
3. While watching the video, you will see the extension icon in the upper right corner of the browser become active.
