Switch from Vimeo to Ignite.
We help with the migration.
Whether you're rethinking your plan, moving to EU hosting, or just done fighting cookie banners: switching video platforms doesn't have to mean weeks of work. Ignite imports your entire Vimeo library, videos, titles, descriptions, folder structure, and ID mapping, so you can keep working without starting over.
Hosted in Europe
GDPR-compliant
With us, you're in good company. Brands and companies that already trust us:
Most people don't leave a platform because of one thing.
Sometimes it's a feeling: a platform that used to feel right starts to feel like a mismatch. Sometimes it's a legal requirement, a data protection officer asking hard questions about GDPR, or EU hosting policies that have quietly become non-negotiable. And sometimes it's simply that the videos your team produces aren't being seen, because a significant share of your audience declines the cookie banner and gets a blank space instead. Whether it's a US-hosted platform or a self-managed setup: the reasons are different, the feeling is the same.
For many, the final trigger is pricing.
Some platforms have restructured their plans more than once. The changes usually go beyond the price tag: features shift between tiers, new limits appear, and what used to be included now costs extra. Smaller teams may face a steeper jump to get what they need. Larger teams may find themselves pushed toward enterprise tiers with a very different cost basis.
We've done this before. Here's how it works.
A migration with Ignite is not a self-service process. We connect to your Vimeo account, pull everything across, and hand you a library that's ready to use and a mapping file that makes updating your CMS straightforward.
Do one thing before we start: audit your setup
Before the import begins, it's worth taking stock of what you have. Which videos are still active, which have been sitting unused for years. And where your embeds actually live: which pages, which CMS, which templates. You know your setup better than we do. A simple list of video IDs and embed locations is enough, and it makes everything that comes after significantly faster.
Your videos, moved in bulk
We import your entire Vimeo library. Videos arrive at Ignite with their titles, descriptions, and tags intact. You don't download, re-upload, or rename anything manually. For libraries of 100 videos and up, this alone saves days of work.
Your folder structure, preserved
A video library built over years has structure: folders, naming conventions, team organisation. We carry that structure over. When you log in to Ignite for the first time, your library looks like yours.
Vimeo IDs mapped to Ignite IDs
This is the part most teams don't think about until it's a problem. Every Vimeo embed in your CMS references a Vimeo video ID. After migration, you get a complete mapping: old ID to new ID. With that file, updating 200 embeds is a systematic job, not a guessing game.
Your CMS, your tempo
You're not on a countdown, but you do have a window. While your Vimeo plan is still running, your existing embeds keep working. Use that time to update your CMS at your own pace, whether that's one afternoon or a few weeks.
Archive your analytics before the switch
Your Vimeo analytics won't transfer. That stays with Vimeo. If those numbers matter to you, export them before you cancel your account. Once your videos are live on Ignite, analytics start fresh, cookie-free and without tracking scripts.
No downtime, no surprises
Your visitors see videos the whole time. Nothing breaks, nothing goes blank. The switch happens in the background, at your pace.
After migration.
What's different.
Here's the good news: your visitors experience only the upside. They see your player, your brand, your content.
Underneath: fast servers in Europe with privacy-first tech. A kind of quality that's invisible by design. Things they benefit from without ever knowing they're there. The switch happened behind the scenes, and that's exactly where it should stay. Some of them might notice the cookie banner is gone. Most won't notice anything at all.
Effortless video management
For your team, it's everything and nothing at the same time. The videos are there. The tags are there. The folders are there. All in a clean, well-organized interface that doesn't get in the way.
