Frequently asked questions
How long can YouTube tags be?
The tag field in YouTube Studio is limited to 500 characters in total, including commas. This tool stops adding tags before it reaches that limit.
Do tags matter for ranking?
Tags play a small role. Your title, thumbnail and description matter far more. Use tags for spelling variations and related phrases, and make sure each one describes the video.
Are hashtags the same as tags?
No. Hashtags are visible words in the title or description; YouTube says more than 60 causes all hashtags to be ignored, and up to 3 from the description may appear above the title. Tags are a hidden field.
