YouTube Title Counter

Track against YouTube's 100-character title limit. Keep keywords in the first 60 characters — that's all that shows in search and sidebar.

Tips for this platform

100 character hard limit

Titles can't exceed 100 characters. Past that, YouTube blocks the save.

First 60 chars are visible

Search results, sidebar and mobile only show the first 60–70 characters. Front-load.

Put the keyword first

YouTube's algorithm weighs words at the start of the title more heavily than words at the end.

Avoid ALL CAPS

Capitalized titles look like spam and reduce click-through rate (CTR).

YouTube Title Counter — Front-Load Your Keywords

YouTube titles can be up to 100 characters, but the search page, sidebar and mobile app all truncate much earlier — usually 60–70 characters. If your keyword is after that cutoff, the viewer doesn't see it.

YouTube title best practices

60–70 character visibility limit. Keep the keyword in that window.
Front-load the keyword — algorithm and CTR both favor it.
Title case (Capital Letters For Each Word) outperforms ALL CAPS and sentence case.
Numbers in titles increase CTR by ~36% (Backlinko study).
No emojis in search — they render inconsistently. Fine in description.
