YouTube Tools

Keyword, tag, title and description helpers for video publishing.

Tools for the text side of video publishing: building a tag list from your actual subject, pulling the keywords out of a draft title or description, and turning a topic into searchable video ideas. Nothing here connects to the YouTube API — it works on the text you paste in.

Title first, tags last

YouTube weighs the title most heavily, the description next and tags least. Write a title that is clear at a glance, front-loads the key phrase and survives truncation on mobile. Then use the first two lines of the description to restate the topic in natural language. Tags are a finishing touch, useful mainly for spellings and disambiguation.

Describe what the video is actually about

Tags for unrelated popular topics are a policy risk and do not help discovery. Derive your tag list from the real subject: the main topic, close synonyms, the specific technique or product, and common alternate spellings.

No view, rank or competition data

Hashly is not affiliated with YouTube and cannot report views, rankings, competition or trending topics. It helps you write and organise the words; performance depends on the video.
