Tag Character Counter
Count the total characters in your YouTube tags against the 500-character limit and see each tag's size.
Introduction
YouTube gives you 500 characters for tags — and it's a budget that fills up fast. Long-tail phrases, competitor names, and variants you're testing can eat the whole allowance before you know it, and anything past the limit is simply ignored. The Thumbix Tag Character Counter keeps you honest. Paste your tag list and the tool counts every character, shows each tag's individual length, flags when you're over the 500-character limit, and gives you a clean, comma-separated version ready to paste back into YouTube.

What Is This Tool?
A Tag Character Counter totals the characters in your YouTube tag list and compares them against the 500-character allowance. It counts the comma-separated string exactly as YouTube does, reports the total and per-tag sizes, and warns you when the budget is exceeded.
Tags are a diminishing part of YouTube SEO, but when you use them, they must fit — and this tool makes that verification instant.
How Does It Work?
The counter follows a simple flow:
- It parses your input into individual tags, ignoring commas, hashes, and blank entries.
- It totals the characters of the comma-joined list — exactly how YouTube counts.
- It reports the total, the tag count, and each tag's length.
- It flags over-limit lists and provides a clean version to paste.
Everything runs locally — no server, no account.
