How to download supported hosted videos from Vimeo

Download a Vimeo video in your browser

Use the page that plays the video. A profile, feed, board or search result may contain previews instead of the media source.

1. Install videobunny from your browser’s official extension store and pin it to the toolbar.

2. Open the video’s own page, or the page where the embedded player is playing and start playback. Wait until the video is visibly playing.

3. Open videobunny in the same tab. Select the matching video card. If the page has several videos, compare the title and thumbnail.

4. Choose one of the qualities shown by the source, then select Download. Keep the tab open until the file is saved.

How videobunny finds the video

videobunny reads supported media sources that the website loads for playback. It can show a direct file or a supported stream. A visible player does not guarantee that the site exposes a downloadable source.

Quality, audio and saved files

Use the arrow beside Download to choose a quality that the source provides. Auto targets up to 1080p. The music button can save MP3 audio when the source has a readable audio track. Your files and library stay in this browser installation.

If the video does not appear or download

Start playback on the exact video page, then reopen videobunny. If the extension was updated, refresh the page first. Try another quality only when the source lists one. A temporary server error may require reloading the video page and selecting its fresh source.

Access and compatibility

Availability depends on the page, your access, the media format and browser support. videobunny does not bypass DRM, private access controls, paywalls or server restrictions. Some posts, live streams and embedded players do not expose a supported source.

Save only videos you own or have permission to download.
