Upvimeo — Direct Uploads for Vimeo
The Professional Uploader for Vimeo on WordPress.
Upvimeo is a powerful 3rd-party video publishing command center designed specifically for Vimeo. Say goodbye to upload_max_filesize errors, server timeouts, and FTP headaches.
Whether you are a Course Creator, Agency, or Video Professional, Upvimeo provides the enterprise-grade infrastructure you need to manage Vimeo content seamlessly.
🌟 Why Professionals Choose Upvimeo?
Most plugins rely on your server’s limited PHP process to upload files, causing crashes with large videos. Upvimeo is different. We utilize the advanced TUS Resumable Upload Protocol—the same technology powering Vimeo itself—to stream data directly from your browser to the cloud.
- 🚀 Upload Unlimited Sizes: Push 5GB, 20GB, or 50GB files seamlessly, bypassing all server limits (2MB/50MB).
- ⚡ Zero Server Load: Your hosting bandwidth is untouched. Video data flies directly to Vimeo at maximum speed.
- 🛡️ Unbreakable Uploads: Network drop? No problem. Upvimeo automatically pauses and resumes uploads exactly where they left off.
🎬 Free: The Essential Video Suite
Designed to give you immediate control over your media assets without touching your server’s performance, the Free version provides core publishing tools:
- Direct-to-Vimeo Engine: Upload instantly from the WordPress Media Library, Gutenberg block editor, or Classic Editor without relying on limited server PHP processes.
- Seamless Privacy Controls: Protect your content instantly. Set viewing permissions (“Who can watch?”: Anyone, Only Me, Hide from Vimeo, or Specific Domains) right from the upload screen.
- Smart Library Management: Keep your projects organized. Create folders, edit video metadata, and manage your entire Vimeo library architecture without ever leaving your WordPress dashboard.
- Perfect Embeds: Deliver high-performance video. Embed responsive, 4K-ready, standardized player blocks effortlessly across any post or page using the dedicated Upvimeo Block.
- Connection Health Diagnostics: Ensure uninterrupted service. Utilize built-in diagnostic tools to verify and maintain a secure, stable API link to your Vimeo account.
