Vine Grows the Ability to Embed Videos

Pete Pachal2013-03-29 18:53:25 UTC

Vine, with its easy way to create short GIF-like looping videos, has been a hit for Twitter, but its fans long for more features and functionality. Vine is answering that call a little bit today by adding the ability to embed Vine videos.

Previously, Vine users could embed tweets with vines, but now they'll be able to embed the Vine videos themselves, at full 600 x 600 resolution, on any website. Like so:

When you click on the Embed button on a Vine link, you can choose between a standard embed (above) or a "Postcard," which puts the Vine user's profile picture and the caption for the Vine in a white frame that surrounds the video (for standard embeds, that info appears via mouseover). For both standard and postcard embeds, you can choose between 600, 480 or 320 pixels for the resolution.

Vine revealed the upgrade in a blog post. Users can get the embed code for individual Vines either via the Vine website or through the iOS app by tapping the "..." in the lower right. The one caveat is the creator must have already shared the video outside of Vine.

How do you like how Vine is evolving? Let us know in the comments.
