    Enter your video topic

    Describe what your video is about in a sentence or phrase. The more specific you are, the better the title suggestions. For example, "how to edit gaming highlights in DaVinci Resolve" produces more targeted results than "video editing."

    Include keywords you want to rank for in YouTube search. The generator works them naturally into the title suggestions without keyword stuffing.

    Copy and customize

    Click the copy button next to any title to copy it to your clipboard. Use the generated titles as starting points and adjust the tone, specifics, and language to match your channel's voice.

    FEATURES

    What the YouTube title generator includes

    Enter your impressions and clicks from YouTube Studio to get your CTR, see where you rank against niche benchmarks, and calculate how many views you're leaving on the table.

    5 title suggestions per generation

    Each generation produces 5 distinct title options, not variations of the same sentence. The titles use different formulas (how-to, listicle, question, statement, contrarian) so you can pick the angle that fits your content.

    Optimized for 50-60 characters

    Every suggestion targets the character count where YouTube displays the full title on mobile and in the suggested sidebar. No truncation, no wasted keywords hidden behind ellipses.

    Keyword integration

    When you provide target keywords, the generator places them within the first 3-5 words of each title where YouTube weighs them most heavily for search ranking.

    Copy to clipboard

    Click the copy button next to any title to grab it instantly. No highlighting, no right-clicking.

    Fresh generation every time

    Titles are generated from scratch on each request. There are no pre-written templates or recycled suggestions. Run it twice on the same topic and you get different options.

    Proven YouTube title formulas

    The most clicked YouTube videos follow recognizable title patterns. These formulas work because they create curiosity, promise value, or set clear expectations.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long should a YouTube title be?

    Keep YouTube titles between 50 and 60 characters for best results. YouTube allows up to 100 characters, but titles are truncated on mobile at around 50-60 characters and in the suggested sidebar at about 45 characters. The most important words and keywords should appear within the first 50 characters to ensure they're visible everywhere.

    Do YouTube titles affect the algorithm?

    Yes, YouTube uses your title as a key signal for determining what your video is about and which searches to surface it for. The algorithm considers title relevance alongside watch time, CTR, and engagement. A well-optimized title helps YouTube recommend your video to the right audience through search, suggested videos, and browse features.

    Should I change my YouTube title after publishing?

    Yes, if your video's CTR is below your channel average after 48 hours. Updating the title tells YouTube to re-evaluate the video, which can trigger a new round of recommendations.
    Many successful creators routinely test 2-3 title variations in the first week. Avoid changing the core topic, as that can confuse returning viewers and the algorithm.

    What makes a good YouTube title?

    A good YouTube title is specific, creates curiosity, and includes a relevant keyword. It should clearly communicate what the viewer will get from watching while leaving enough unanswered to motivate a click. The best titles work together with the thumbnail to tell a story that can only be completed by watching the video.

    Should I use the exact title this tool generates?

    Use the generated titles as starting points rather than final versions. The AI provides strong structural foundations and keyword placement, but you know your audience best.
    Customize the language, tone, and specifics to match your channel's voice. Combining AI suggestions with your personal knowledge of what works for your viewers produces the best results.
