# YouTube tag extractor

> Free YouTube tag extractor: paste any public video to see its hidden tags and YouTube's 500-character count, then copy them.

Interactive version: https://vid0.in/tools/youtube-tag-extractor. Tags come from the official YouTube Data API (one public video per lookup, rate-limited per visitor).

- **Do YouTube tags still matter?** A little. YouTube says tags mostly help with misspellings and alternate names of your topic. Titles, thumbnails and descriptions matter far more, but tags are a quick look at the keywords a creator was targeting.
- **How do I see the tags on a YouTube video?** Paste the video's link above. Tags aren't shown on youtube.com, but they're part of the video's public data. The free Vid0 Chrome extension also shows them on every video you watch. [Get the extension](https://vid0.in/extension).
- **How many tags can a video have?** Up to 500 characters in total. Commas count, and a tag with a space counts its quotes too, so "claude code" uses 13 characters.
