YouTube title generator
Why every title comes back under 60 characters
YouTube accepts 100 characters in a title, and search results and most other surfaces cut it off at around 60. A title that runs past that is legal and half invisible, and the half that disappears is usually the half that said what the video is. So all five are written to fit, each shows its length, and one that comes back long is marked as over the search cutoff rather than quietly shortened.
The phrase people search for goes first
The words somebody would type into YouTube go near the front of every option, where they survive truncation and are the first thing read. That depends on you naming the topic the way a viewer would, so describe it as "planning a month of uploads in one afternoon" rather than by the name of your series. A description that says plainly what the video covers gets titles that do too.
What it will not put in a title
It is told never to invent a statistic, a result or a claim about how the video will perform, and never to promise something the video does not deliver. If a number belongs in the title, such as the length of a tutorial or the price of a setup, put it in your description and it can use it. No emoji and no em dashes either, in any of the five.

Questions about this tool
How long should a YouTube title be?
Short enough that the part that matters survives at about 60 characters, which is where search truncates. The hard limit is 100, and a title may use all of it, but most of what sits past 60 goes unseen. The character counter on this site marks both lines if you want to check a title you wrote yourself.
Does it need an account?
Not for your first 3 runs a day: they are free with no sign-up. After that, a free account with no credit card: connect your channel and it includes 50 Cue credits a month, one balance for every drafting tool. The character counter, the line break tool and the bold text tool need no account at all, because they run entirely in your browser.
Will it make things up about my video?
It works only from what you type, and it is instructed to keep to your facts: any statistic, timestamp or sponsor in a draft comes from what you mentioned. The more specific you are, the better the draft.
Where do my channel's numbers come from?
From measurement. Runsheet uses a model to write copy, and every number it reports about your channel is measured, uses medians rather than means and carries its sample size.
Can I run YouTube title generator automatically?
Yes. Every tool here is also exposed as an MCP tool, so Claude, Cursor or anything else that speaks MCP can run it against your own channel. How to connect one is on the MCP page, https://runsheet.buildifyapp.in/mcp.
Do you keep what I type?
Runsheet sends the text you enter to Google's Gemini API to produce the answer, and records only that a generation happened and its cost in credits, so your balance can be kept.
