InputsYouTube title length checker
Formula or template logic
characterCount = grapheme clusters with Intl.Segmenter where available, falling back to Array.from(title).length; wordCount = words in title; remaining = 100 - characterCount; if characterCount = 0: Empty; if 1-39: Short; if 40-70: Good; if 71-100: Long; if > 100: Too long
Example use case
Use it before publishing or A/B testing title ideas so each option is specific, readable, and under the 100-character limit.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good YouTube title length?
This checker marks 40 to 70 characters as Good because it is often long enough to be specific without becoming hard to scan.
What is the YouTube title character limit?
YouTube titles can be up to 100 characters. This checker shows remaining characters or how far a title is over the limit.
What happens over 100 characters?
The checker marks titles over 100 characters as Too long so you can shorten them before publishing.
Does title length guarantee performance?
No. Title clarity, topic, thumbnail, audience, and packaging all matter.
Can I copy the result?
Yes. You can copy or download the title check summary.
