Host your own videos: move your library to your own storage, get embed codes.
Keepreel lets you host your own videos. It moves your video library off an expensive hosting plan and into storage you own, then gives you a new embed code for every video. It is made for people whose client videos are embedded on websites and whose hosting bill just jumped.
WHO IT IS FOR
Wedding and corporate videographers, small studios, schools and photographers whose client videos are embedded on websites, and whose hosting bill just jumped.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Connect. Paste your own Vimeo access token and the keys of your storage bucket: Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2 or Bunny Storage.
2. Move. Keepreel downloads each video, makes it stream-ready on your device (HLS, in up to three sizes, without re-encoding, so there is no quality loss) and uploads it to your bucket.
3. Swap. Copy the new embed code for each video, or copy the whole list as a CSV with the old player link next to the new embed code.
YOUR BUCKET, YOUR VIDEOS
- Nothing goes through our servers. There are none: files go from Vimeo to your device to your bucket.
- Storage on Cloudflare R2 costs about $0.015 per GB a month, and views cost nothing.
- Videos play in a simple, unbranded player page in your own bucket.
- Folders, titles and poster frames come across.
- Stops and resumes: a video that didn't finish starts again where the list left off.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Links use a long random key nobody can guess. They are not password-protected: anyone you send a link to can watch.
- There are no view counts, comments or client review tools.
- Downloading needs a paid Vimeo plan and a token with the Video Files scope, so move before your plan ends.
- Big libraries move best on Wi-Fi with the screen on.
