About this tool
This page opens the character counter preset to YouTube titles: type your title and watch it measured against the platform's 100-character maximum.
YouTube accepts titles up to 100 characters, but search results and suggested-video cards typically show only around 60–70 before cutting off with an ellipsis — so the practical rule is: hard limit 100, front-load the keywords and the hook into the first 60. The live bar makes it obvious when your title drifts past the safe zone.
Test several variants back to back: paste each one, compare lengths, and keep the version that says the most before the cut. The counter runs entirely in your browser, so unpublished video titles stay private.
Example. The word hello counts as 5 characters, leaving 275 of the 280 Twitter/X limit and one GSM-7 SMS segment with 155 characters spare.
Limit. One character outside the GSM-7 alphabet switches the whole message to UCS-2, 70 characters or 67 per split segment, and the Twitter tally does not apply CJK double-weight or t.co link length.
