YouTube Title Checker

How to use

1. Paste or write your exact video title in the editor.
2. Review the character count, remaining or over count, word count, and informational signals.
3. If the title is over the limit, remove the number of characters shown until Copy title re-enables.
4. Optionally normalize repeated spaces, then copy the exact title into YouTube Studio.

YouTube title limit

YouTube currently limits video titles to 100 characters. This tool checks only that official title-length limit as a pass/fail requirement. It does not add an unofficial ideal title length or SEO score.

What the results mean

• Empty - no title has been entered yet. This is neutral guidance, not an error.
• Ready - the title has 1 to 100 characters and is ready to copy.
• Error - the title is over YouTube's 100-character limit. The exact number of characters to remove is shown, and copying is disabled until the title is back at or under the limit.

Word count, capital letters, digits, emoji, and repeated spaces are informational. They can help you inspect the title, but they are not YouTube pass/fail requirements.

Cleanup explanation

The Normalize repeated spaces button collapses runs of ordinary spaces into a single space. It only runs when you choose it, and it does not rewrite wording, capitalization, punctuation, emoji, or line breaks. Nothing modifies the title automatically while you type.

Methodology and limitations

Characters are counted by Unicode code point, matching the convention used by the existing CreatorToolWorks text tools, so a single surrogate-pair emoji counts as one character in this checker. Words are counted as whitespace-separated tokens. Capital letters, digits, emoji, and repeated spaces are counted with deterministic browser-side pattern matching. This tool cannot publish to YouTube, cannot detect every invalid character YouTube may reject, cannot predict ranking or click-through performance, and cannot guarantee how YouTube will process a title after upload.
