YouTube Title Generator
Generate click-worthy YouTube titles that fit in search.
Your title and thumbnail are the whole pitch for a video. This free AI YouTube title generator takes a description of your video and writes six title ideas, each with the main topic up front and each short enough to stay readable before YouTube cuts it off.
Choose a tone to match your channel: friendly, professional, witty, bold or inspirational. Every idea gets its own Copy button and a character count against YouTube's 100-character limit, and the aim is to keep under about 70 so the end of the title doesn't disappear on mobile. Not sure how yours will look? Paste it into the YouTube title length checker.
A good title pairs with a good description and tags: the YouTube description generator and YouTube tag generator cover both. When the video's ready, PostJay's YouTube scheduler can publish it at the time your viewers are most likely to be around.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a YouTube title be?
YouTube allows up to 100 characters. That doesn't mean you should use them all: search results, suggested videos and mobile feeds cut long titles off, so the generator aims for roughly 70 characters or fewer. Each idea shows its character count against the 100 limit.
Where should the keyword go in a YouTube title?
Near the start. It's what the viewer reads first and the part least likely to be cut off. The generator puts the main topic early in every idea, so check that it matches the words your audience would actually search for.
Will these titles be clickbait?
They're written to earn the click honestly. A title that promises something the video doesn't deliver tends to backfire, because viewers leave early and that hurts how the video is recommended. Treat each idea as a draft and make sure it matches what's in the video.
Does it work for YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Describe the Short and you'll get titles you can use as-is. Shorts titles are often shorter and punchier, so pick one of the tighter ideas or trim one down. The generator is free with no signup, with a few generations a day for anonymous visitors.
