Vimeo Deep Link Generator — Open Vimeo Links in the App
Paste any Vimeo link — videos and showcases — and get a link that opens the Vimeo app instead of a logged-out browser. Free, no signup.
Why Vimeo links open in the browser
Social apps like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and LinkedIn open taps in their own in-app browser. That browser doesn't share the viewer's login, so they land on Vimeo logged out — with no saved account, no follow button that works and no one-tap actions.
A plain https link never tells the phone to hand off to the Vimeo app. A deep link does: it carries the app's URL scheme and package so the phone can open Vimeo directly.

FAQ
How do I make a Vimeo link open in the app?
Paste your Vimeo link into the generator above to get iOS and Android app links. For click analytics and in-app-browser handling, turn it into a free vayda.link.
What is the Vimeo URL scheme?
Vimeo uses vimeo://. Vayda builds links with the template vimeo://{url_no_scheme}.
Why does my Vimeo link open in Instagram's browser?
Instagram, TikTok and Facebook open taps in their own in-app browser, which doesn't share the viewer's Vimeo login. On Android, a smart link can hand off to the Vimeo app. On iPhone, Meta blocks automatic app hand-off for every link tool, so viewers need to tap ••• → Open in external browser.
What happens if the Vimeo app isn't installed?
On Android the link falls back to the Vimeo web page via browser_fallback_url. On iPhone the link opens the Vimeo website or the App Store.
Is the Vimeo deep link generator free?
Yes. Generating raw app links is free with no signup. Trackable smart links are free up to 2,000 clicks/month.
