YouTube Embed Code Generator

About This Tool

Look, if you've ever tried embedding a YouTube video on a website, you know it can be a bit of a hassle. You copy the link, paste it into some code, and suddenly nothing works. Or worse—it works, but it looks awful on mobile. That’s where this YouTube Embed Code Generator comes in. It’s not fancy. It doesn’t promise to revolutionize your life. But it does one thing well: it gives you clean, ready-to-use embed code in seconds.

I built this because I got tired of digging through YouTube’s share menu, tweaking iframe attributes, and still ending up with a video that breaks on smaller screens. This tool strips out the guesswork. You paste a URL, pick a few options, and boom—you’ve got code you can drop straight into your HTML. No fluff. No ads. Just a simple fix for a common problem.

Key Features

• Works with any standard YouTube URL—shortened links, full links, even ones with timestamps.
• Lets you customize width, height, and whether the video starts automatically.
• Includes responsive design options so your video doesn’t look broken on phones or tablets.
• Generates clean, minimal code—no tracking scripts or bloat.
• No sign-up required. No cookies. No nonsense.
• Free to use. Always will be.

FAQ

Q: Will this work with private or unlisted videos?
A: Nope. If the video isn’t publicly accessible on YouTube, the embed won’t work—no matter what tool you use. This generator just gives you the code; it doesn’t bypass YouTube’s privacy settings.

Q: Can I use this on WordPress or other platforms?
A: Absolutely. The code it generates is standard HTML. You can paste it into a WordPress HTML block, a Webflow embed, or even a basic static site. Just make sure the platform allows raw HTML input.
