YouTube Tag Generator

Ready-made tags from a single word

When you upload a video, YouTube invites you to add tags describing its content. Writing them from scratch is tedious, and plenty of people leave the field empty. Jood's YouTube tag generator takes your keyword and builds a list of phrasings people often use when searching, so you can pick the ones that fit your video.

How to use it

1. Type the video's topic into the "Core Keyword or Topic" box, such as "learn python".
2. Click "Start Now".
3. A list of about 18 comma-separated tags appears with a "Copy All" button; paste it into the tags field in YouTube Studio.

How the tags are made

The tool combines your keyword with phrases common in searches, such as "tutorial", "for beginners", "step by step", "course" or "101", plus the current year. It writes the tags in the language of the page you are using: open the tool in English for English phrasings, in Arabic for Arabic ones. If your audience searches in two languages, run it twice.

It works from fixed templates, not from YouTube search data, so it does not know which phrasing people search for most. Some combinations may read oddly depending on your keyword; just delete them.

Before you paste the list

• Remove anything that does not describe your video: a "review" tag has no place on a tutorial, and "for beginners" does not suit an advanced explanation.
• Put the most important first: the main keyword and the phrasing closest to your title.
• Mind the limit: YouTube allows 500 characters for all tags together.
• Keep expectations realistic: YouTube says tags matter little next to the title, thumbnail and description, so take care of those first.

To write the title, use the YouTube title generator, and to see the tags of a published video, the YouTube tag extractor.
