About YouTube Title Length Checker
Check your video title before you publish with our free YouTube title length checker. Paste your title and instantly see the character count, how much of it shows in search results, and whether it sits in the SEO sweet spot.
YouTube allows up to 100 characters, but search results and suggested videos cut titles off at around 60. Titles in that visible range get more clicks — this tool helps you front-load your keywords where viewers actually see them.
YouTube Title Length Checker — FAQs
What is the YouTube title character limit?
YouTube allows up to 100 characters per title. However, only about the first 60 characters display in search results before the title gets truncated.
What is the best title length for YouTube SEO?
Aim for under 60 characters with your main keyword near the beginning, so the full message is visible in search, suggested videos and on mobile.
Do emojis count toward the character limit?
Yes. Emojis and special characters count toward the 100-character limit, and some wide characters take extra display space — the checker counts everything exactly as YouTube does.
Why does title length affect clicks?
A truncated title hides your hook. When viewers can read the complete promise of your video in search results, click-through rates go up.
