Frequently asked questions
Answers about privacy, limits, and how this free free youtube tags character counter works.
What is the YouTube tags character limit?
YouTube’s tags field is commonly treated as about 500 characters including commas between tags. This counter uses that practical limit so you can stay safe.
How does the YouTube tag counter measure characters?
We join your tags with commas (no spaces) and count that string — similar to how Studio stores the field.
Can I paste tags with new lines?
Yes. New lines and commas both split tags. We normalize them for counting and copy.
Is this YouTube tags tool free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup and no upload.
Need ideas from the video itself?
This counter formats tags. Scribia transcribes and summarizes so your packaging matches the real content.
