YouTube Tools

51 tools

Seventeen tools in two halves. One half reads things YouTube already publishes but makes awkward to copy: tags, descriptions, view counts, blocked countries, channel IDs, join dates, avatars and banners. The other half runs entirely in your browser and builds things: thumbnail links, embed code, timestamped links, title checks and earnings estimates. None of them asks you to sign in to Google or paste an API key.

Free to use with no account. JSON, password and 2FA tools run entirely in your browser.

Readers and builders

The tag extractor, video statistics, region checker, channel lookups, channel search, tag generator and comment picker fetch public YouTube pages from our server, so the answer depends on what YouTube serves at that moment. The thumbnail, embed, timestamp, subscribe link, title and earnings tools never contact anyone. They compute from what you type, which also means they keep working on a flaky connection.

Sizing up a competitor's video

Start with the video statistics: views per day since publishing says more than the raw total. If the video earns a closer look, pull its tags and hashtags, which are the keywords its creator chose on purpose. Then check the channel's subscriber count and join date, because the same view count means something different on a three month old channel than on one that has been publishing for a decade.

How exact the numbers are

View and like counts are the figures YouTube's own pages display, and those lag behind reality. Subscriber counts above a thousand are rounded by YouTube before anyone outside the channel sees them, so 1.35M is a range rather than a figure. The comment picker reads roughly the first three hundred top level comments, which on a popular video is a sample of the section. When a number is going into a report, write down when you looked it up.

FAQ

Do these YouTube tools need my Google account?

No. The lookups see what a logged out visitor sees on a watch page or channel page, and the builders send no request at all.

Can I see another channel's revenue or watch time?

No. Revenue, watch time, traffic sources and audience geography live in the owner's YouTube Analytics and nowhere public. What you get here is what the public pages display.

Why does a video lookup sometimes say YouTube refused the request?

YouTube occasionally asks servers in data centres to prove they are not bots, and video pages are where that shows up first. Waiting a minute usually clears it. Channel lookups and the browser tools are not affected.
