YouTube metadata viewer and tags extractor
Paste the link of any public YouTube video and we show you the data YouTube publishes about it: title, full description, tags, exact upload date and time, duration and the highest-resolution thumbnail available. The data comes from the official YouTube API, not from copying the page.

What it shows
- Title and full description, exactly as the channel wrote them.
- Tags: the keywords the channel added, which YouTube does not show on the video page.
- Exact upload date and time, useful to verify when a video was published.
- Exact duration.
- Thumbnail in the highest resolution available, ready to download.
- The embed code, ready to paste on your site.
What no tool can see
Private YouTube Studio analytics (retention, revenue, traffic sources) are only visible to the channel owner. No external tool can read them; be wary of any that claims otherwise.
What it is for
- See and copy the tags of a video that performs well to understand how it was optimized.
- Verify a video's real upload date.
- Add videos to your site or catalog with title, description and thumbnail without copying by hand.
- Build a spreadsheet of videos (JSON or CSV) to catalog or compare.
How to use it
- Copy the video link (watch?v=, youtu.be and shorts all work).
- Paste it in the box above and press Extract.
- Copy what you need or download the entry as JSON or CSV.
A whole playlist or channel?
With the Basic plan you paste a playlist or a page with many videos and get every entry at once, with CSV to open in a spreadsheet. With Premium you can send them straight to WordPress.
See plansFrequently asked questions
- Is it free?
- Yes: 2 videos per day without an account and 5 per day with a free account, no card.
- Does it download the video?
- No. It only reads the video's public data and the link to embed it. The video stays on YouTube.
- Why do some videos show no tags?
- Because the channel did not add any. Many videos have no tags; it is not a bug.
- Does it work with Shorts and unlisted videos?
- It works with Shorts and with unlisted videos if you have the link. Private videos cannot be read.
