FitVids.js is a lightweight jQuery plugin that makes video embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) fluid-width in responsive web designs by automating the intrinsic ratio method. It wraps embedded videos in a percentage-based CSS wrapper so they scale proportionally with their container.
Use cases
- make YouTube embeds responsive
- fluid width Vimeo videos in a blog post
- scale video iframes proportionally in responsive layouts
- handle client-added videos without known containers
- support custom video vendors via custom selectors
When to choose
- you already use jQuery and need responsive video embeds
- you want a tiny drop-in fix for fixed-size iframe videos
- you need to support legacy browsers and simple percentage-based scaling
When to avoid
- your project does not use jQuery
- you can use modern CSS like aspect-ratio instead
- you need active development or guaranteed vendor support (some players are deprecated)
