YouTube Tag Generator
Generate YouTube video tags with AI — 20-25 relevant tags within the 500-character limit, with a total-character counter and one-click copy.
About the YouTube Tag Generator
This free AI YouTube tag generator turns your video title or topic into a ready-to-paste set of 20-25 tags. It mixes your exact keyword, long-tail variations people actually search, and closely related terms — ordered with the most important tags first, which is how YouTube weighs them.
YouTube gives all tags combined a 500-character budget, so the tool shows every tag as a chip plus the full comma-separated line with a live total-character counter — green while you're inside the limit, red if a regeneration pushes past it.
One click copies the whole comma-separated list, which pastes directly into the tags field in YouTube Studio (it splits on commas automatically). Tags are a minor ranking factor these days, but they still help with misspellings and topic clarity — and they take five seconds with this tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many tags can a YouTube video have?
There's no fixed count limit — the limit is 500 characters across all tags combined. That works out to roughly 20-30 typical tags, which is exactly the range this generator targets, with a live counter against the 500-character budget.
Do YouTube tags still matter for ranking?
They're a minor factor now — YouTube says tags mainly help with commonly misspelled search terms, and titles, descriptions and viewer behaviour matter far more. But they still contribute topic signals, cost nothing, and take seconds to add, so leaving them empty is throwing away a small edge.
Should tags be broad or specific?
Both, ordered specific-first: your exact topic phrase, then long-tail variations ("budget gaming pc under 50000"), then a few broader category tags ("pc build", "gaming"). The generator produces this mix automatically with the most important tags first.
Can I copy tags from popular videos?
Copying another video's entire tag list is against YouTube's spam policies and doesn't work anyway — tags only help when they match your actual content. Generating tags from your own title, as this tool does, keeps them accurate and safe.
Where do I paste the tags?
In YouTube Studio: select your video → Details → scroll to Tags (under "Show more"). Paste the comma-separated list from the tool and YouTube splits it into individual tags automatically.
