Illustrative preview. Real truncation varies by device, font, and YouTube layout.
Lead with the reason to watch
A title should tell a viewer what the video is about while matching what it delivers. Put the topic or payoff near the beginning. The optional target phrase check helps you spot an omission, but it is not a ranking score.
A preview is an approximation
YouTube uses different layouts, fonts, and available widths across devices and feeds. This tool checks the 100-character title limit and shows an illustrative two-line preview. The exact point of truncation can vary on YouTube.
Questions about youtube title checker
What is YouTube’s title limit?
The YouTube Data API specifies a maximum of 100 characters and disallows < and > in video titles.
Does a shorter title rank better?
There is no ranking promise here. Clear, accurate wording matters more than reaching an arbitrary length. Keep important context near the start for smaller displays.
Does the thumbnail leave my device?
No. An optional thumbnail is displayed locally in your browser and is not uploaded.
