Image/YouTube Embedder & Attribution Maker

for Unsplash, Pexels, Wikimedia Commons, Pixabay, Flickr CC & YouTube
(Also works with Shutterstock, if you have a paid subscription).

A Bookmarklet to create HTML snippets to embed your selected Image or YouTube video, with proper attribution. This can then be pasted into Moodle, or any website that includes Bootstrap 4+.

For those sites NOT running Bootstrap (such as Canvas LMS) a new "Inline CSS" option is now available. This option has fewer features but will work on any website.
