YouTube Title Checker
Enter a YouTube video title and get instant feedback on its length, SEO characteristics, and how it will appear in search results. The tool checks against YouTube's 100-character limit, shows where the title would be truncated in search results (around 60 characters), and offers SEO tips based on proven patterns.
YouTube titles are one of the most important ranking factors for video search. A title that is too long gets cut off in search results; one that is too short may not include enough keywords. This tool helps you find the sweet spot with real-time character counting and truncation preview.
Everything runs in your browser — your title text is never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
What is the YouTube title character limit?▼
YouTube allows up to 100 characters in a video title. However, titles are truncated in search results at around 60-70 characters depending on the device and display context.
What makes a good YouTube title for SEO?▼
Include your target keyword near the beginning, keep the title under 60 characters to avoid truncation in search, use numbers when relevant, and make the title specific and compelling. Avoid all-caps and clickbait that does not deliver.
Does this check for duplicate titles?▼
No. This tool checks the character count and format of your title. It does not search YouTube for existing videos with the same title.
