YouTube title & description checker
Check a title and description before you publish: length, the hook in the first 40 characters, the description's opening, links, hashtags and chapters.
Type a title to check it. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent.
How it works
These are the same checks Vid0 runs in YouTube Studio as you type. Titles work best between 20 and 70 characters, with the words that make people click in the first 40, since search and the home feed cut long titles.
The first 150 characters of a description show in search and above “...more”, so they should say what the video is about. Chapters need a 0:00 timestamp plus at least two more, and only the first three hashtags show above the title.
