Vimeo Basic, Plus, and Pro members have a weekly quota, which is a cap on the amount of video that can be uploaded to their accounts each week.
Upload quotas reset every 7 days, at midnight Eastern Time. You can monitor your current quota usage, as well as find your reset date and time, in the lower left-hand corner of the upload page. You can also see this in the lower left-hand corner of the video edit page. To see the date and time of your next reset, hover over the Info button.
Vimeo Business and Premium accounts do not have a weekly quota. Instead, there is a total storage limit. Total storage is a fixed, lifetime storage cap which does not reset or renew each year. You can fill your total storage amount in any way you like, without worrying about spacing out your uploads to stay within a weekly quota.
See the chart below for a breakdown of the weekly quota and total storage limits for each membership level:
|
Membership level |
Weekly upload quota |
Total storage limit |
|
Basic |
500MB per week (limited to 10 uploads every 24 hours) |

Plus |
5GB per week |
No total storage limit |
|
Pro |
20GB per week |
No total storage limit |
|
Pro Unlimited |
No weekly quota |
3TB |
|
Business |

Both weekly upload quota and total storage usage are determined by the size of the original source file at the time of upload (for example, a 200MB source file will use 200MB of the weekly upload quota or total storage limit).
Replacing videos
When replacing a video, the amount of space used will depend on when the original source file was uploaded and your account type.
- Basic and Plus Members:
The previous version of your video will be deleted during the replacement process.- If the original source file was uploaded within the current quota week, then only the difference in source file sizes will count against your weekly quota.
- If the original source file was uploaded outside of the current quota week, then the full size of the replacement source file will count against your weekly quota.
- Pro, Business, Premium, and Enterprise members:
We'll automatically store all previous versions of your video instead of deleting them. As a result, the full size of the replacement file will be applied to your current weekly quota or total storage limit.
Running out of quota or total storage
If you reach the end of your weekly quota or total storage cap and still have videos to upload, you have several options:
- Upgrade to Vimeo Plus to get 5GB each week, Vimeo Pro to get 20GB/week, Vimeo Business to get 5TB total storage with no weekly upload quota, or Vimeo Premium to get 7TB total storage with no weekly upload quota.
- Delete or replace videos uploaded since your last quota reset date
- Compress your video files (e.g by using a lower bit rate or resolution) to reduce file size –https://vimeo.com/help/compression
- Pro, Business, or Premium members – delete previous versions of your videos uploaded during the current week within version history
