About the YouTube Tag Generator
Tags help YouTube understand what your video is about and which searches it is relevant to. This generator takes a single topic or keyword and instantly builds a set of related tags — your exact phrase, its individual words, and useful variations with prefixes like “how to” and “best” and suffixes like “tutorial”, “tips”, “guide” and “2026”.
Pick, deselect and copy
Every suggested tag is a chip you can toggle on or off, so you keep only the ones that genuinely fit your video. The selected tags are combined into a clean, comma-separated list you can copy in one click and paste straight into YouTube Studio.
Stay under the 500-character limit
YouTube allows up to 500 characters of tags in total. The tool shows a live character count so you can keep your most relevant tags and stay within the limit — quality and relevance matter far more than stuffing in every possible tag.
Use tags wisely
Tags are a minor ranking signal today; your title, thumbnail and description do the heavy lifting. Use a handful of accurate tags — your main keyword, close variations and your topic — rather than dozens of loosely related ones. For your title and description, preview them with the SERP Snippet Preview.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add tags to a YouTube video?
Copy the generated, comma-separated list and paste it into the Tags field under Show more in YouTube Studio when you upload or edit a video. Keep the total under 500 characters.
How many tags should a YouTube video have?
Quality beats quantity — a handful of accurate tags (your main keyword, a few close variations and your topic) works better than dozens of loosely related ones. The character counter helps you keep the best and stay under 500.
Do tags still help YouTube ranking?
Tags are a minor signal that helps YouTube understand and disambiguate your topic, but your title, thumbnail, description and watch time matter much more. Use tags to clarify, not to game the algorithm.
What is the YouTube tag character limit?
YouTube allows up to 500 characters of tags in total across all tags. The tool shows a live count so you never exceed it.
Is the tag generator free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up. Tags are generated in your browser from the keyword you enter.
