Long video titles are clipped on mobile and in search, so the key phrase at the end of a title can disappear exactly where viewers decide to click.
YouTube Title Checker measures the title against a 70-character guide and warns past 100, so you can front-load the important words and keep the title readable across surfaces.
How to use YouTube Title Checker
- Paste your video title into the box.
- Watch the count against 70 characters; the gauge warns past 100.
- Front-load the key phrase so it survives if the title is clipped.
Use cases
- Checking an upload title before you publish the video.
- Keeping a title readable in the mobile browse feed.
- Sizing a title so the key phrase shows in search results.
Good to know
Display length varies by surface and device, so this is length guidance rather than a check of YouTube itself. Counting is grapheme-aware. Around 70 characters tends to show in full, while titles past 100 are more likely to be clipped, so front-loading helps.
