YouTube Title Generator
Enter your impressions and clicks from YouTube Studio to calculate your click-through rate, compare it against niche benchmarks, and see how many views you could be gaining with a stronger thumbnail.
How it works
How to use the YouTube title generator
Four inputs, instant results. No YouTube API connection or account linking required.
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."
Add target keywords (optional)
Include keywords you want to rank for in YouTube search. The generator works them naturally into the title suggestions without keyword stuffing.
Generate titles
Click Generate Titles to get 5 optimized suggestions. Each title is crafted for the 50-60 character sweet spot where it remains fully visible on mobile and in the suggested sidebar.
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.
