Generate 15 relevant tags for any YouTube video

Keywords you add to a video's metadata to tell YouTube what it's about and which searches to match. Viewers never see them; they sit in the video's settings next to the title and description.

Yes. YouTube removed the public display of tags years ago, so viewers can't see them, but the Tags field still exists in Studio. YouTube now says tags play only a minimal role in discovery: they mainly help when your topic is commonly misspelled, so add them as a finishing touch, not a ranking lever.

In YouTube Studio, open the video, go to Details, and click "Show more." The Tags field is near the bottom, so paste them comma-separated. You can add tags any time, including after the video is live, and you set them per video, not per channel.

Fill YouTube's ~500-character tag budget with relevant terms rather than chasing a set number. The 15 tags here use roughly half that, so you have room to add a few of your own.

A mix of your exact topic, a few close variations, and one or two broader category terms. There's no universal "best" set, and copying a big channel's tags won't transfer their reach. Keep them true to your video.

Yes. Add comma-separated keywords and the generator works them into the set: "high protein, budget" pulls back tags like "high protein meals" and "budget meal prep." Use them to steer the output toward terms you already want.

No. A few core topic tags can repeat, but most should describe that specific video. Identical tags across unrelated uploads tell YouTube less, not more.

Yes. Shorts use the same Tags field, so describe the Short's topic and paste the 15 tags in the same way you would for any video.

No. Tags are private SEO metadata you add in Studio; hashtags are the clickable #terms in your title and description. This tool makes tags. For hashtags, use the YouTube Hashtag Generator.
