YouTube Title Length Checker

About This Tool

So, you’ve spent hours filming, editing, and finally uploading your video to YouTube—only to realize your title got cut off on mobile? Yeah, been there. That’s exactly why I built this YouTube Title Length Checker. It’s not fancy. It doesn’t promise to make your video go viral. But it *will* tell you whether your title fits on different devices, so you don’t end up with “How to Make the Perfect…” and nothing after that. I made this because I kept running into the same problem. You write a killer title, full of keywords and personality, and then—bam—it’s truncated on phones or tablets. This tool gives you a quick heads-up before you hit publish. Simple, fast, and actually useful.

Key Features

• Real-time character count – See how many characters you’ve used as you type.
• Device preview – Check how your title looks on desktop, mobile, and tablet.
• Truncation warning – Get alerted if your title might get cut off on smaller screens.
• Copy & paste friendly – Just paste your title in and go. No login, no tracking.
• Keyword highlight – Optional setting to highlight common SEO words so you don’t overstuff.

It’s not trying to be your video editor or your SEO guru. It’s just a helper. Think of it like spellcheck, but for title length.

FAQ

Why does title length even matter?
Because YouTube displays titles differently depending on the device. On mobile, you might only see the first 60–70 characters before it gets cut off with an ellipsis (...). If your main hook or keyword is at the end, people might not even see it. This tool helps you front-load what matters.

Is there a perfect title length?
Not really. But most experts agree that keeping it under 60 characters is safest for mobile. That said, sometimes you need a few more words to be clear or catchy. This checker lets you experiment and see the trade-offs—no guesswork.
