How it works
A publishable title in three quick steps.
Toolkit checks the platform’s documented constraints and gives you a useful preview without inventing an arbitrary SEO score.
- 01
Add your title
Paste a planned video title or write directly in the focused editor.
- 02
Check the platform limit
Watch the character count, remaining space, invalid-character warning, and preview update instantly.
- 03
Clean and copy
Normalize accidental spacing, remove invalid angle brackets, then copy the finished title into YouTube Studio.
Clear platform feedback
Everything needed to check one video title well.
Publishability checks
Catch angle brackets that YouTube’s official Data API documentation excludes from valid video-title text.
Useful visual context
Preview the title on a familiar video card without pretending that one fixed preview can represent every device and placement.
YouTube title questions
Limits, characters, previews, and privacy.
What is the YouTube video title character limit?+
YouTube currently limits video titles to 100 characters. The counter measures the title live and reports the number remaining or over the limit.
Do spaces count as characters in a YouTube title?+
Yes. Spaces contribute to the title length. Toolkit shows the complete character count, whitespace total, and characters without spaces separately.
Which characters are invalid in a YouTube video title?+
YouTube Help says titles cannot contain invalid characters, and the YouTube Data API documentation specifically excludes the angle brackets < and > from video-title values. The counter flags both.
Will my title look exactly like the preview?+
Not necessarily. YouTube can wrap or truncate titles differently across home feeds, search, watch pages, screen widths, and devices. The preview is a practical visual reference, not a pixel-perfect guarantee.
Is my video title uploaded or stored by Toolkit?+
No. The title is processed locally and can be saved only in your browser so the draft remains available when you return.
