FAQ
YouTube counts the total characters of all your tags plus the comma separators between them. Two tags of 10 characters each use 22 characters (10 + 2 + 10). This tool calculates the exact total including separators.
Individual tags can be up to 100 characters, but shorter tags (under 30 characters) tend to be more effective. Very long tags are less likely to match what people search for.
