YouTube title, description and tags generator
Enter your video's main keyword and get title ideas from proven formulas, a description with chapters and hashtags, and a tag list that fits YouTube's 500-character limit. Character counters show what viewers see before titles and descriptions are cut off.
How to use the YouTube Title, Description & Tags Generator
- 1Type the main keyword, phrased the way people search, such as "bake sourdough bread".
- 2Pick the video type and fill in the optional slots: who it's for, the result and a number.
- 3Choose a title under about 60 characters, then edit the description and add your timestamps.
- 4Copy the tags. The counter uses YouTube's own way of counting, including commas and quotes.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a YouTube title be?
YouTube allows 100 characters, but titles are often cut at about 60 in search and suggestions, especially on phones. Put the keyword and the promise in the first 60 characters.
Do YouTube tags still matter?
Only a little. YouTube says tags mainly help with misspellings and alternative names for your topic. Your title, description and thumbnail matter far more, so don't spend long on tags.
How does YouTube count the 500-character tag limit?
It adds up the characters of every tag, plus the commas between them, and counts two extra characters for each tag with a space in it, because it wraps those in quotes. This counter does the same.
What should the first lines of a YouTube description say?
What the viewer will learn or get, using your main keyword naturally. About the first 150 characters show in search results and above "…more", so links and credits can go further down.
