Generated 20 perfectly relevant tags for my cooking video in 3 seconds. The character counter confirmed I was within the 500-char limit before copying to YouTube Studio. Excellent tool.

The category selector adds genre-specific tags I wouldn't have thought of — the Gaming category added esports, walkthrough, gameplay tags that boosted my video discoverability significantly.

Click any tag chip to copy it individually. The CSV output is ready to paste directly into YouTube Studio's tag field. Both output formats save time every upload.

❓ FAQ
How many tags should a YouTube video have?+
YouTube allows up to 500 characters of tags. Aim for 10–20 well-chosen tags rather than maxing out with irrelevant ones. Include: your exact title phrase, related terms, category keywords and a few broad genre tags.
Do YouTube tags affect video ranking?+
Tags are a minor ranking signal compared to title, description and thumbnail. However, they help YouTube's algorithm understand your video's topic and surface it in related videos. Use relevant, accurate tags.
Should I copy tags from competing videos?+
Analysing competitor tags for topic relevance is fine, but copying them exactly is not recommended. Your tags should accurately reflect your specific video content.
What is the YouTube tag character limit?+
YouTube limits total tags to 500 characters (all tags combined, including commas and spaces). The character counter in this tool alerts you when approaching or exceeding this limit.
Should I use broad or specific tags?+
Use a mix: 2–3 broad category tags (e.g. "cooking"), 5–10 specific topic tags (e.g. "sourdough bread recipe") and 3–5 long-tail variations (e.g. "how to make sourdough bread for beginners").
