YouTube Embed Code
Generator

The short version: paste a YouTube URL above, pick the options you want (autoplay, mute, controls, start time, language, etc.) and copy the generated iframe HTML into your page. The long version: YouTube exposes an iframe embed at youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID with 20+ query parameters — this tool wraps all of them into a UI so you don't need to memorize the parameter names.

Fixed gives you a classic <iframe width="560" height="315"> — the video is always the same pixel size. Responsive wraps the iframe in a <div style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9"> container and lets it fill 100% of its parent width while keeping the 16:9 ratio. Responsive is almost always what you want on modern sites — Fixed is for old CMS templates that don't handle flex/grid.

Every major browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) blocks un-muted autoplay by default. If you enable Autoplay, also enable Muted — the tool shows a hint when you hit this. Users can then click the sound icon to unmute. iOS Safari is even stricter and often requires user interaction regardless.

YouTube offers two embed hosts: youtube.com/embed/... (drops full advertising cookies immediately) and youtube-nocookie.com/embed/... (delays cookies until the user actually clicks play, and drops fewer of them overall). Privacy mode uses the second one — it's the safer choice for GDPR compliance and the default in this generator.

Toggle "Loop" and this tool automatically adds the required playlist=<VIDEO_ID> parameter for you — that's a quirk of YouTube's iframe player, single-video loop only works when the player thinks it's playing a playlist of one. You don't need to add anything manually.

Yes. Paste a Shorts URL and the tool auto-switches to the 9:16 vertical layout. The iframe still points at youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID (Shorts and regular videos share the same embed endpoint), just wrapped in a 9:16 aspect-ratio container instead of 16:9.

Yes. Paste any playlist URL (or a video URL with ?list=PLxxx) and the tool switches to the videoseries endpoint with listType=playlist&list=<PLAYLIST_ID>. The iframe plays through the whole playlist in order.

It used to hide the YouTube logo from the player controls. YouTube deprecated it in 2023 — the parameter is still accepted but no longer changes the branding much. The toggle is included for completeness and for older embeds where you need it, but don't expect dramatic UI differences.

Yes, completely free with no sign-up. All embed-URL construction happens in your browser — nothing about your usage is stored server-side. The only network call is a quick YouTube Data API lookup to show a preview card, and even that is optional (the tool works without it).
