YouTube Title Length Checker

About This Tool

Ever spent way too long tweaking your YouTube title, only to realize it’s way too long and gets cut off in search results? Yeah, been there. That’s why this YouTube Title Length Checker exists—simple, no-nonsense, and actually useful. It’s not flashy, doesn’t track your data, and won’t ask for your email. Just paste your title, and it tells you if you’re in the clear or if you need to trim it down.

YouTube displays titles differently depending on the device. On mobile, you get about 40–50 characters before it starts getting truncated. On desktop, you’ve got a bit more room—around 60–70 characters. This tool checks both so you don’t have to guess. It’s not magic, but it saves time and headaches.

Key Features

• Instant feedback—no waiting, no loading screens.
• Shows character count in real time as you type.
• Highlights when your title goes over the safe limit.
• Tells you how it’ll look on mobile vs. desktop.
• No sign-up, no ads, no nonsense.

FAQ

Q: Why does title length even matter?
A: Long titles get cut off with “...” in search and recommendations. If your main keyword or hook is at the end, people might not see it. Shorter, clear titles tend to perform better and look cleaner across devices.

Q: Is there a perfect title length?
A: Not really. But staying under 60 characters is a safe bet for most cases. If you can keep it under 50, even better—especially if your audience is mostly on mobile. Clarity beats cleverness every time.
