"Hi do you know any solutions or tools to download videos from Vimeo? Can I download Vimeo videos online for free? And what kind of online Vimeo video downloader tools should I use? If possible, please list me some other solutions and detailed steps on how to download Vimeo videos to computer."

Do you know Vimeo? Are you a member of Vimeo? Do you often share and upload video on Vimeo? If you are an active member and go in for enjoying videos in Vimeo, then I think you will inevitably encounter such a problem that not all videos have the "Download" button, which can allow you to download the video from the Vimeo if you want. Sad to say that there do have some videos you enjoy so much but for some reason you are not allowed to download them. So how to download such videos from Vimeo? In this post I will help you to solve this problem.

Part 1: Introduction of Vimeo

If you are an active user of Vimeo, you would then be quite familiar with Vimeo. Similar to YouTube, Vimeo is also a wonderful and world-class online video sharing site that enables you to watch, upload and download videos. Founded in 2004, Vimeo is the first online video sharing site that supports high definition videos for uploading, viewing and downloading.

Vimeo differs largely from YouTube because of its "artsy" distinctiveness. That’s not to say that artists shouldn't promote their work on YouTube – because they should if their audience is there. It's just that YouTube is so huge that it encompasses everything you could point a camera at. Vimeo, on the other hand, is very much known specifically for creative artistry. Vimeo mainly focuses on short films and movies.

On Vimeo, you could upload your own creative videos for others to view, comment, like and share. Also, you could view, comment, like and share others' work, or add others' videos into Watch Later list if you like. Since Vimeo is much more of professional network of artist, the community is much more appreciative of the content that gets shared there,

Vimeo also has membership plans, including: Vimeo Basic, Vimeo Plus, Vimeo Pro, Vimeo Pro Unlimited, Business, and Premium at different prices, from 0 to $900/year, with different storage space available. You could select plans according to your own needs to enjoy corresponding service.
