YouTube title character counter

Write a video title that fits YouTube's 100 characters, with the key words early where they won't be cut off.

The counts below update as you type. Your text is saved on this device automatically.

What it does

YouTube titles can be up to 100 characters, spaces included. Long titles are often cut short in search results, suggestions and on phones, so the words that matter most belong in roughly the first 60.

The ring shows your title against 100 and highlights anything past it. YouTube doesn't accept the < and > characters in titles, so leave those out.

How to use it

  1. Type your title.
  2. Watch the ring for characters left out of 100.
  3. Read the first 60 or so characters on their own: they should still make sense.

Everything is counted on this device. Nothing you write is uploaded, and it works offline.

Good for
