YouTube Embed Code Generator
Paste a YouTube video URL to generate a ready-to-paste embed snippet — with a live preview — for your blog, landing page, or documentation.
Everything happens in your browser: the URL is never sent to our servers, we just build the standard YouTube embed markup for you.

Embed code
Paste a YouTube URL to generate embed code.
How it works
- 1Paste a YouTube video URL.
- 2Adjust size, autoplay, and start time to taste.
- 3Copy the embed code and paste it into your site.
When to use this
- You're writing a blog post or landing page and want a video playable inline, not just linked out.
- You need a specific size, autoplay behavior, or start time that YouTube's default share code doesn't give you.
- You want to preview exactly how the embed will look before pasting it into your CMS.
A worked example
Paste a video URL, set width to 640 and a start time of 1:24, and the tool outputs a ready iframe embed that opens directly at that timestamp — with a live preview so you can confirm the size and behavior before copying it into your site.
Frequently asked questions
Will this work on any website?+
Yes — the generated code is standard YouTube iframe embed markup, supported by virtually every website builder, CMS, and blog platform.
Why does autoplay sometimes not work?+
Most browsers block autoplay with sound. Autoplay generally only works if the video is also muted, which is outside this tool's control — that's a browser policy, not a YouTube setting.
Can I make the video start at a specific timestamp?+
Yes — set the start time field and the generated embed code will jump straight to that point when it loads.
Will the embedded video have ads?+
Yes, if the video itself is monetized — embeds show the same ads as watching directly on YouTube, and the creator still earns revenue from embedded views.
