How it works
- 1
Describe the video
What people see, and if you have it, the keyword they would type to find it.
- 2
Pick a style
Video or Short, how-to, list, question or story: 10 titles under 100 characters.
- 3
Check the cut-off, then copy
One click shows where each title stops on screen, another copies it.
What makes a good YouTube title
True to the video
YouTube recommends compelling titles that accurately represent the content. A title that promises more than the video drives viewers away, and can get it removed.
Search words first
YouTube search matches the query against the title, the description and the content. Put your main keyword early and repeat it in the description.
No shouting
YouTube’s help center lists titles in ALL CAPS and strings of exclamation marks among those to avoid.
Mind the cut-off
Past a certain width the end of a title is cut off, and that width depends on the screen. Keep what matters in the first words.
A Short is read fast
For a Short, a short title that says what people are watching. The rest can go in the description.
Frequently asked questions
How many characters can a YouTube title have?
100 characters at most, spaces included, according to YouTube’s documentation, with no “<” or “>”. Every title suggested here fits that limit.
How long should a YouTube title be?
YouTube gives no number: what shows depends on the screen and the place (search, suggestions, mobile). Tap “Check the cut-off” next to a title to see it in each of these places.
What is a clickbait title?
A title that announces something the video does not contain. YouTube’s rules ban malicious clickbait, for example a title promising a full match for a short clip. This generator only promises what you describe.
Should I change the title of a published video?
You can, but YouTube’s help center explains that a new title changes how viewers respond to the video, and so how it gets recommended. If a video is doing well, leave it alone.
Does it work for YouTube Shorts?
Yes: pick “Short” and the titles will be shorter, made to be read at a glance.
Is the generator free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no credit card. Each visitor gets 25 requests a day across all our text generators, with 10 titles each.
What happens to my description?
It is only used to write your titles. We do not keep it or link it to any account.
