Video Embed Generator

Embedding videos from YouTube and Vimeo is one of the most common tasks in web development. While both platforms provide embed codes, they often need customization for responsive layouts, autoplay behavior, and other options. This tool generates clean, responsive embed code from any YouTube or Vimeo URL. The embed generator accepts standard video URLs from both platforms and automatically extracts the video ID. For YouTube, it handles youtube.com/watch?v=, youtu.be/, and youtube.com/embed/ formats. For Vimeo, it handles vimeo.com/ URLs. The generated HTML uses modern CSS (aspect-ratio property) to create a responsive container that maintains the correct proportions at any width. This is a significant improvement over the older padding-top hack and works in all modern browsers. You can customize the aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, or 1:1), enable autoplay, and toggle loop playback. The tool generates both the responsive HTML embed code and a live preview so you can verify the result before copying. Tip: Videos set to autoplay are often muted by browsers to prevent unwanted audio. If you need autoplay with sound, consider adding a play/unmute button for the user. Also, embedding many videos on a single page can significantly impact load time — consider lazy loading for below-the-fold videos.
