Start times like &t=33s or &t=1m10s will be respected where possible.

YouTube thumbnail mockup preview

Upload an image to see how it looks inside a YouTube-style player frame. This is useful when designing thumbnails before you upload them to YouTube or sharing them as social previews.

For best results, use a 16:9 image (e.g. 1280×720 or 1920×1080).

Better embeds and better thumbnails

Clean embed code helps your pages load faster and reduces clutter, particularly when you only need a simple player. Being able to toggle autoplay, loop, mute and controls gives you fine-grained control over how viewers experience your content on your own site.

Thumbnail mockups help you judge whether text is readable, whether faces are big enough, and whether your design still works at smaller sizes — which is exactly how most viewers see it in the YouTube feed.
