YouTube Title Length Checker

YouTube Character Limits

The checker above counts your text against several YouTube character limits at the same time. You can see whether the same text fits within a YouTube title, video description, channel bio, or comment without switching between different counters.

YouTube Title Character Limit

The YouTube video title character limit is 100 characters. The large YouTube Title Length metric above shows your current title length and how many characters remain before reaching the limit.

The 100-character limit is the maximum allowed length, not necessarily the amount of text viewers will see in every location on YouTube.

YouTube Title Truncation Estimate

Longer YouTube titles may be shortened or truncated when they appear in certain parts of YouTube. The checker uses approximately 70 characters as a visible-title estimate.

This is not an official YouTube character limit. Actual title display can vary depending on the device, screen size, and where the video appears.

YouTube Description Character Limit

A YouTube video description can contain up to 5,000 characters. The Video Description metric updates automatically as you type, so you can see how your text compares with the description limit.

Video descriptions can be used to explain your video, provide additional information, add timestamps, and include relevant links or resources.

YouTube Bio Character Limit

A YouTube channel description, often called a YouTube bio, can contain up to 1,000 characters. The Channel Bio metric shows how your text compares with that limit.

YouTube Comment Character Limit

YouTube comments can contain up to 10,000 characters. The YouTube Comment metric updates automatically with the same text entered into the checker.

How to Use the YouTube Title Length Checker

1. Type or paste your text into the text box.
2. Check the large YouTube Title Length metric for your title character count.
3. View the Video Description, Channel Bio, Comment, and estimated visible-title metrics at the same time.
4. Edit your text until it fits the YouTube limit you need.
5. Use the Copy button when your text is ready.

Tips for Writing a YouTube Title

A useful YouTube title should make the subject of your video clear to viewers. Put the most important information early in the title so the main idea remains understandable even if part of the title is not displayed.

The 100-character limit is a maximum, not a target. A shorter title may be easier to read when it accurately describes the video.

Tips for Writing a YouTube Video Description

Use the beginning of your description for the information viewers are most likely to need. You can then add supporting details, timestamps, links, and other relevant information farther down the description.

Your title, thumbnail, and description can help viewers understand what your video is about. Tags may also be useful for terms that are commonly misspelled, but they generally play a much smaller role than your title and description.
