YouTube Tag Generator

Generate your tags
Everything runs in your browser — press generate and paste straight into YouTube Studio.
How it works
Three steps, about ten seconds, no account.
Paste your working title or the topic. Add a couple of seed keywords if you already know them.
The tool splits your title into phrases, expands it with niche templates and scores each candidate for relevance.
Chips already fit the 500-character budget. Copy all, paste into the Tags box, publish.
Built for a fast upload
Every selected tag is counted, commas included. Past 480 characters the bar turns red and the lowest-ranked tags are trimmed automatically.
Tags that repeat your exact title phrase score highest, then seed keywords, then niche phrases — so the best tags sit first.
Typed just “video”? The generator switches to niche seed templates and tells you to be more specific instead of returning nothing.
Modifiers and templates are localised for English (US/UK), Spanish, Portuguese (BR), Hindi, German and French.
Tag generation happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is stored, and no account is required.
Grab a single tag from its copy icon, or copy the whole comma-separated string in one click.
FAQ
How many tags should I use?
YouTube allows up to 500 characters in total. Around 20–30 short, relevant tags is plenty — the generator defaults to 25 and deselects the weakest ones to stay inside the limit.
Do tags still matter for the algorithm?
Tags are a weak but real signal — they help YouTube disambiguate misspellings and niche topics, especially for small channels. Your title, thumbnail and first minutes matter far more.
Why did some tags get trimmed?
The comma-separated string must stay under 500 characters. When your selection would exceed it, the lowest-ranked tags are deselected and listed so you can swap them in manually.
What is "basic mode"?
When the optional AI enrichment is slow or unavailable, you still get the full algorithmic tag set — the note is informational, nothing breaks.
Is my video title stored?
No. Generation runs in your browser. Only if you leave the AI enrichment box ticked is the title sent to a free language model to propose extra long-tail tags.
