YouTube titles can be up to 100 characters but mobile previews cut around 40-50 characters and search results truncate at ~60. Our counter shows live char count with three truncation lines so you write titles that look good everywhere.
When to use this
Use for: optimizing YouTube video titles for mobile + desktop discovery, ensuring keywords aren't cut off in search results, A/B testing different title lengths for CTR, writing titles that work in YouTube end-screens and notification previews.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the ideal YouTube title length?
60-70 chars max to avoid truncation in most contexts. Front-load important keywords in the first 40 chars (mobile preview limit). Avoid the 100-char max - YouTube algorithm doesn't favor it and clickability drops.
