About this tool

YouTube has at least 7 different URL formats: canonical (youtube.com/watch?v=), short (youtu.be/), embed (youtube.com/embed/), privacy embed (youtube-nocookie.com/embed/), shorts (youtube.com/shorts/), mobile (m.youtube.com), and music (music.youtube.com). This tool parses any of them, extracts the video ID, and generates all 7 variants — perfect for canonicalizing links before saving them, testing that a video plays across mobile and desktop, or building your own embed variants.
