Title basics

Clear beats clever

A title has two jobs: tell YouTube what the video is about, and make a person want to click. Put the main topic near the start, keep it under about 70 characters, and only promise what the video delivers.

Titles that oversell lead to people leaving early, and that tells YouTube the video did not match.

1
Topic firstLead with the words people search for.
2
One promiseWhat will the viewer get or find out?
3
Fits the thumbnailThe title and thumbnail should work together, not repeat each other.

Common questions

Tap a question and we'll answer it in the chat. You can also type your own.

How long can a YouTube title be?

Up to 100 characters. On phones and in search, long titles get cut off, so aim for about 70 or fewer.

Should I use capital letters?

Title Case is easy to read. ALL CAPS on every word tends to look like spam, so save it for one word if any.

Can I change a title later?

Yes. Many creators test a new title if a video is getting views but few clicks.

Will these titles rank?

No tool can promise that. A clear title helps YouTube understand the video. Ranking depends on how viewers respond.

Do you save what I type?

No. The tool runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
