Paste a video link and see its public metadata in one view: title, description and tags counted against YouTube's limits, category, upload date, duration, captions, region limits, counts and channel. Copy it or save it as JSON.
Paste a video link. Title, description and tags are counted against YouTube's limits, with the category, upload date and counts beside them.
Paste a public YouTube watch, Shorts or youtu.be link and this metadata viewer lists what YouTube publishes about the video in one place. The title, the description and the tags each get a count against YouTube's limit: 100 characters for a title, 5,000 for a description and 500 for the tag list.
Beside those it shows the category name, the upload date and time in UTC, the duration, whether the video is HD or SD, whether YouTube flags captions, any region restrictions, the public view, like and comment counts, the channel name and ID, and the thumbnail. When YouTube sends them, it also shows the video's default language, its audio language and a licensed content flag.
Copy JSON and Download .json give you the same facts as plain JSON, with the full description and every tag. Nothing is scored or rated. We read the public fields and show them as they come.
Title, description, tags, category, upload date and time, duration, HD or SD, the captions flag, region restrictions, views, likes, comment count, channel name and ID, and the thumbnail. If YouTube sends them, the default language, the audio language and the licensed content flag are shown too.
Yes, for any public video. A private or deleted video returns nothing, and the tool says so.
They show how much of YouTube's limit is used: 100 characters for a title, 5,000 for a description and 500 for the tag list. Commas between tags count toward the 500. We count characters the way a browser does, so an emoji can count as two and the number may differ slightly from YouTube's own counter.
YouTube can leave the like count out when the creator hides it and the comment count out when comments are off. We read a missing number as 0, so a zero here can mean either.
No. Those are private analytics that only the channel owner sees in YouTube Studio. This tool reads public fields only.
From the YouTube Data API, the same source YouTube offers developers. Results are cached for up to an hour, so an edit made a few minutes ago may not show yet.
No. It is free and needs no sign-in.
