YouTube Title Character Limit Checker

Our free YouTube title character limit tool helps content creators optimize their video titles for maximum visibility and click-through rates. With YouTube's 100-character limit for titles, it's crucial to craft concise, keyword-rich titles that grab attention while maintaining searchability.

Why YouTube Title Length Matters

While YouTube allows up to 100 characters for video titles, only about 60-70 characters display in search results and even fewer on mobile devices. Our YouTube title character counter helps you craft the perfect title that balances SEO with user experience.

YouTube Description Length Checker

Our YouTube description length checker helps you optimize your video descriptions within YouTube's 5,000 character limit. Since only the first 100-150 characters appear above the "Show more" button, our tool helps you prioritize your most important information and calls-to-action.
