YouTube Video Embed Generator

How does the YouTube Video Embed Generator work?

Our generator creates clean, customized YouTube <iframe> HTML and CSS wrapper codes. You can specify options like start/end time, autoplay, looping, custom aspect ratios, and enhanced privacy mode.

Is this YouTube embed code generator free?

Yes! It is 100% free to generate unlimited embed codes for websites, blogs, CMS platforms, and web applications.

What is Enhanced Privacy Mode (youtube-nocookie.com)?

Enhanced Privacy Mode uses YouTube's official www.youtube-nocookie.com domain. It prevents YouTube from setting tracking cookies until the user actually plays the video, helping you comply with GDPR and privacy regulations.

How do I make a YouTube embedded video responsive on mobile screens?

Our generator automatically creates a responsive CSS container (aspect-ratio wrapper) that resizes seamlessly on mobile, tablet, and desktop screens without letterboxing.

Can I embed YouTube Shorts videos?

Yes! Select the 9:16 Vertical aspect ratio option to embed YouTube Shorts with perfect vertical formatting.

How do I make an embedded video start at a specific timestamp?

Enter your desired start time in minutes and seconds in the customization controls. The generator appends ?start=... to your embed URL.

Can I hide player controls like volume and scrub bar?

Yes. Toggle the "Hide Player Controls" option to set controls=0 for a clean, minimalist video player.

Why does autoplay not sound audio on mobile browsers?

Modern mobile and desktop browsers (Chrome, Safari) require autoplaying videos to be muted (mute=1) to prevent unwanted audio playback.

Does this generator support looping videos?

Yes. Enabling "Loop Video" appends loop=1 and playlist=[VIDEO_ID] to loop the video continuously.

Can I use these embed codes in WordPress, Webflow, or Shopify?

Yes! Simply copy the generated HTML iframe code block and paste it into any Custom HTML widget, Gutenberg block, or CMS template.

Is Markdown embed code supported for GitHub or Notion?

Yes! We provide ready-to-copy Markdown code snippets alongside standard HTML.

What aspect ratio choices are available?

We support 16:9 Standard Widescreen, 4:3 Classic, 1:1 Square, and 9:16 Vertical Shorts aspect ratios.

Which YouTube URL formats are supported?

We support standard watch links (youtube.com/watch?v=...), short links (youtu.be/...), Shorts links (youtube.com/shorts/...), embed links, and raw 11-character Video IDs.

Does embedding YouTube videos impact website speed?

We include loading="lazy" in the generated iframe code, allowing browsers to defer loading the video until the user scrolls to it for optimal page speed.

Can I hide video titles and creator info?

Yes, setting modestbranding=1 reduces YouTube branding overlay on the video player.
