Quick answer

Keep your title within 100 characters

Use the live character count to check your draft against YouTube’s maximum title length. A concise title makes the main topic easier to grasp when the full title is not visible.

Put the most informative words early and remove filler before trimming meaningful details. Display space varies by device and context, so preview the title in YouTube before publishing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the YouTube title character limit?

YouTube permits video titles of up to 100 characters. This is the upload limit; the visible title can be shorter in search results and on different devices.

Do spaces count toward the YouTube title limit?

Spaces and punctuation are included in this counter. Complex emoji and Unicode characters can be handled differently by publishers, so confirm the final title in YouTube Studio.

Will YouTube show all 100 characters?

Not necessarily. Display length depends on the device and placement. Put the topic and useful information early, then preview the result in YouTube.

Is this title counter free?

Yes. Count a draft in your browser without creating an account. The counter does not access your channel or publish a title.
