YouTube Title Length Checker
Check whether your YouTube title fits before it gets truncated.
YouTube titles can be up to 100 characters, but only about the first 60 show before they're cut off in search and suggested feeds — front-load your keyword.
The YouTube Title Length Checker counts your title's characters in real time and shows whether it fits both the 100-character hard limit and the ~60-character zone that displays before titles get truncated in search and suggested feeds.
