Migrate from Vimeo to STRIMY — without losing anything
Bending Spoons acquired Vimeo in September 2025. Mass layoffs followed in January 2026, along with significant price increases. If you're looking for a stable alternative with fixed pricing, this guide is for you.
The right time to switch is now
Bending Spoons acquired Vimeo
The acquisition closed in Q4 2025. In January 2026, mass layoffs were announced across Vimeo's team. The product no longer has the same team behind it.
Prices are going up
Under the new ownership, Vimeo plans increased in price in 2026, without proportional improvements to the service.
STRIMY: stable, fixed pricing
Built in Spain, with fixed annual pricing from €119/year. No surprises, no ads on your videos, and support in your language.
Migrate in under 1 hour
For a library of 20–50 videos, the full process takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your upload speed.
Export your videos from Vimeo
Go to your Vimeo account → Settings → Videos. Download each video in its original quality. Vimeo allows you to download the originals you uploaded. If you have many videos, prioritize the most important ones first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Common questions about migrating
Can I import videos directly from Vimeo without downloading?
There's no direct Vimeo integration currently. The process is: download from Vimeo → upload to STRIMY. For most users with 20–50 videos, this takes under 2 hours.
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 (€399/year) you can connect your own domain to your portfolio. Starter and Plus plans include a custom STRIMY URL.
