YouTube Title & Description Checker
Check length before you publish and see where a title may be cut off.
YouTube Studio limits: 100 title characters and 5,000 description characters. More than 60 hashtags are ignored. This preview is approximate; title length does not predict rankings.

Publishing limits and preview length are different
A title can fit YouTube's input limit and still lose its final words on a small screen. The checker separates the accepted length from a simplified display preview. Put the topic and useful distinction near the beginning, then inspect the description and hashtag totals separately.
How to use it
Enter your title and description. Compare the counters with the approximate listing preview.
Practical example
An 80-character title is below the 100-character input limit, but its ending can disappear in the preview. Move the essential subject forward. Do not cut a clear, descriptive title merely to turn a warning into a shorter number.
What to know before you start
Titles allow 100 characters and descriptions 5,000. Over 60 hashtags are ignored by YouTube; the preview does not predict rankings.
Questions about this tool
Must a YouTube title stay under 60 characters?
No. The tool accepts up to 100 characters. Its 60-character desktop and 50-character mobile previews illustrate truncation; they are not extra publishing limits.
Does this predict clicks or search rankings?
The result concerns length and presentation. Audience interest, thumbnail, content and viewing behavior affect performance; this tool does not estimate CTR or rankings.
Is the preview identical to YouTube?
It is an approximation. Font, device width and placement can change the real display, so also review the saved title in YouTube Studio.
