Free YouTube Video Title Optimizer
Describe your video and get four title options that are clear, searchable and honest.
About this tool
A YouTube title has two jobs: tell the right viewer what the video is, and make them want to click. This tool writes four titles from your topic and your chosen style, each within the 100 character limit and with the main keyword near the front. It is told not to promise more than the video delivers.
How to use it
- Describe what the video covers. Add your current title if you have one.
- Choose a style: curiosity, how-to, list or direct.
- Copy a title, read it as a stranger would, and paste it into YouTube Studio.
Example

Tips for better results
- Put the main keyword in the first few words.
- Keep titles under about 60 characters so they are not cut off in search.
- Promise what the video delivers. Misleading titles lose viewers fast.
- Test two titles on similar videos and compare views and watch time.
