YouTube Title Checker

Find out if your title earns the click

Your title and thumbnail are the entire pitch. Most titles fail for reasons you can see before you publish — the promise gets truncated, the topic is buried behind filler, or there's nothing specific enough to be worth a click. This checker names them.

Step 01Core

A score you can act on

0–100 across hook strength, emotional pull, specificity, clarity and searchability — each with a plain-English reason, so you know which part to fix rather than guessing.

Step 02

See where YouTube cuts it

Mobile feeds cut around 40 characters, suggested videos around 50, search around 70. The preview shows the exact truncated line a viewer reads on each surface.

Step 03

Seven signal checks

Length, concrete numbers, curiosity gap, power words, ALL CAPS, emoji spam, and whether your topic is front-loaded for YouTube search. Pass, warn, or fail on every one.

Step 04

Three rewrites, three angles

Not reworded twins — a curiosity version, a specificity version, a contrarian version, all under 60 characters and ready to paste.

Step 05

Free to start — no signup

5 title checks a day without an account or a credit card, and unlimited checks on Pro. Every check includes the full breakdown and the AI rewrites.

Step 06

Built on viral video research

The scoring weights come from analysing what actually opens loops in short-form — the same pattern work behind the Virality Analyzer and Viral Hook Generator.
