🤔 Part 1: Quick Reference

<aside> ✍️ This little database is a quick and easy way to check the length of your YouTube video titles.

It’s currently set to show ‘Too Long’ when your title goes over 54 characters, but you can alter this if you prefer.

The reason I’ve chosen 54 is that around this point, the text will be cut off on certain devices (mobile, etc).

Long titles (70+) can perform as well as shorter titles, but if you’re conscious of having information cut out of your title, then 54 characters is a pretty safe target.

I would also recommend following Jake Thomas for some incredible tips on writing YouTube titles.
