A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Paste a YouTube watch, short, embed, or youtu.be URL.
  2. Extract the video ID locally.
  3. Review the constructed thumbnail and embed URLs.

Scope

Only the video ID, thumbnail URL, and embed URL are constructed. No request is made to YouTube, so title, channel, duration, views, and live availability are not reported.

Input boundary

Supported forms include youtube.com/watch?v=…, youtu.be/…, youtube.com/embed/…, and youtube.com/shorts/… URLs.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

Does it show live YouTube metadata?

No. It only parses the ID and constructs URLs locally.

Will the thumbnail URL always work?

It is a standard URL pattern, but availability depends on the video and YouTube.
