About this tool

Tags are keywords that creators add to a video to help YouTube understand its topic. They matter less than the title, thumbnail and description, but they help with misspellings and related terms.

Seeing which tags successful videos in your niche use is a quick way to discover phrases viewers search for. Use this for research and write tags that truthfully describe your own video. YouTube tags have a total limit of 500 characters. Some videos have no public tags, in which case nothing can be shown.

Frequently asked questions

Are tags important for YouTube SEO?

They are a minor signal. Your title, thumbnail, description and viewer engagement matter more.

Why does a video show no tags?

Creators are not required to add tags, and private or unavailable videos cannot be read.

How many tags should I use?

Use a few accurate tags (5 to 10), starting with your main keyword. The total limit is 500 characters.
