The YouTube video title limit
A YouTube video title can be up to 100 characters, but search results and suggested videos usually show only the first 60 to 70, depending on the screen.
How to write a YouTube video title
Put the words people search for and the reason to click in the first half. The thumbnail does much of the work, so the title should add information rather than repeat it.
Questions
What is the YouTube video title character limit?
100 characters. Most places show only the first 60 to 70.
How long should a YouTube title be?
Up to 100 characters are allowed, but keeping the key words within the first 60 means they stay visible almost everywhere.
Does the YouTube title affect search?
Yes. The title is one of the strongest signals YouTube uses to understand what a video is about.
Do spaces and emoji count?
Spaces and punctuation count as one character each. This checker counts each visible character once, so an emoji counts as one.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. The counting happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
