How to use it

  1. 01

    Copy a video link

    Any public YouTube video or Short. The link from the address bar or the Share button both work.

  2. 02

    Paste it above

    Press Get tags. The tags, title and description come back in a couple of seconds.

  3. 03

    Copy what you need

    Copy all the tags at once, or the title or description on their own.

What tags tell you, and what they don't

Tags show which words a creator wanted the video found for. Reading the tags on a few videos that did well in your topic is a quick way to learn the phrases that audience uses.

Tags do not explain why a video took off. Two videos with the same tags can get a thousand views and a million. What separates them is the idea, the title and the thumbnail.

That is the part Algrow is built for. It scores every video against its own channel’s normal views, so you can see which videos beat expectations and what their titles have in common.

Go past tags: see what is working

Inside Algrow you search by what a video is about and how its title is built, not by tags.

Questions

How do I see the tags on a YouTube video?

Tags are hidden on the watch page. Paste the video's link into the extractor above and it lists every tag the uploader set, with a button to copy them all.

Can I extract the title and description too?

Yes. The same lookup returns the full title and the full description, each with its own copy button.

Why does a video show no tags?

The uploader left them empty. Many large channels do, because YouTube says tags matter little next to the title, thumbnail and description.

Do tags still matter on YouTube?

A little. YouTube says tags are most useful when a topic is commonly misspelled. Your title, thumbnail and the video itself do far more.

Does it work on Shorts?

Yes. Paste the Short's link the same way.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up. There is an hourly limit so everyone gets a turn.
