YouTube Title Length Checker FAQs

Optimizing your video titles for impact

How long can YouTube titles be?

YouTube titles max out at 100 characters. And trust me, I’ve tried cramming in more… doesn’t work! YouTube just cuts it off, and your amazing title ends up looking weird.

What’s the best length for a YouTube title?

Around 60 characters is the sweet spot! Long enough to get your point across but not so long that it gets cut off on mobile or search results. I’ve noticed my shorter titles (40-60 chars) usually perform better than the super long ones.

Do YouTube titles affect views?

Heck yeah, they do! Your title is basically your first impression. Good titles = more clicks = more views. Gotta make it catchy but also include those keywords people are searching for. Balance is key!

Will YouTube penalise me for clickbait titles?

They definitely might! YouTube’s algorithm tracks if people click but then bounce right away. Too much of that and boom – your video gets shown to fewer people. So make titles exciting but honest about what’s actually in your video.

How can I check my YouTube title length?

The easiest way is to use a character counter tool online (tons of free ones) or just type it in a doc that shows character count. Or count ’em yourself if you’re bored, lol. Just remember – 100 is the limit, but aim for 60ish for best results!
