The way out of Vimeo

Leave Vimeo. Migrate all your work to STRIMY.

Bending Spoons bought Vimeo, laid off its team, and raised prices. Don't wait for the next invoice: pull your entire library — private videos included — with a free tool and rebuild it on STRIMY, with your brand and no strings attached.

Why leave now

Vimeo isn't the platform you signed up for

New owner, new direction

Bending Spoons closed the acquisition in 2025 and laid off much of the team in January 2026. The platform where you uploaded your work no longer has the people who built it behind it.

You pay more every year

Under new ownership, plans went up in 2026 with no improvements to justify it. The next hike is only a matter of time.

STRIMY: fixed price, for good

Built in Spain, with fixed annual pricing from €149/year. No bill surprises, no ads on your videos, support in your language.

Practical guide

Get everything out of Vimeo in under 1 hour

No permission needed. For a library of 20–50 videos, the full process takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your upload speed.

01

Download your Vimeo library

Vimeo offers no bulk download for your library — and on free plans it won't even let you download your own videos from its website. The real way to get your content back is a free, open-source tool (yt-dlp) that, using your own Vimeo session, downloads all your videos to your computer, including private and password-protected ones. We give you the guide with the exact commands.

You get the best version Vimeo publishes (up to 4K). For client delivery it looks identical on screen; only the original master you uploaded stays out of reach.
02

Create your STRIMY account

Sign up at strimy.pro — 30 seconds, no credit card required. You get 7 days of free trial with full access to all features including branded portfolios and view analytics.

No credit card needed to get started.
03

Upload your videos to STRIMY

Drag your files into the STRIMY dashboard. We accept up to 12 GB per file, in 4K, with no duration limit. Upload goes directly to AWS S3 (fast) and HLS transcoding happens automatically.

Multipart upload: if your connection drops, you can resume right where you left off.
04

Build your branded portfolio

Organize videos in folders and activate your portfolio. Choose from 6 templates (Cinema, Grid, Minimal, Sidebar, Carousel, Overlay), add your logo and customize colors. Your client sees only your brand — no STRIMY watermark.

You can password-protect each portfolio independently.
05

Update embeds on your website

In STRIMY, every video has its own embed code. Copy and replace Vimeo embeds on your website, blog, or learning platform. The player is Plyr.js — clean, ad-free, and compatible with all browsers.

The official WordPress plugin is available on WordPress.org to simplify this step.
06

Cancel Vimeo when you're ready

Once everything is migrated and your links are updated, cancel your Vimeo subscription. We recommend keeping both accounts active for 1–2 weeks to ensure all external links have been updated.

Keep a list of your old Vimeo URLs to set up 301 redirects if you have SEO to protect.

FAQ

Common questions about migrating

Can I import my videos directly from Vimeo, without downloading them?

No: Vimeo's API doesn't let external platforms access your files. The real process is to download your library with a free tool — we give you the step-by-step guide — and upload it to STRIMY. It works with all your videos, including private and password-protected ones.

Will my old Vimeo URLs still work?

Yes, as long as you keep your Vimeo account active, the links will keep working. We recommend a gradual transition — update embeds before canceling Vimeo.

Does STRIMY have an official WordPress plugin?

Yes. There's an official plugin on WordPress.org that lets you embed STRIMY videos in any post or page with a shortcode.

What happens to my videos during the trial?

During the 7-day trial you have full access to all features: uploads, portfolios, analytics, and password-protected sharing. If you don't subscribe, your videos are deleted when the trial expires.

Can I use my own domain for portfolios?

Yes, with the Pro plan (€439/year) you can connect your own domain to your portfolio. Starter and Plus plans include a custom STRIMY URL.
