Why use YouTube Video Tags Extractor?
YouTube tags help improve video visibility by telling YouTube what your content is about.
The best way to choose tags is by checking what keywords top videos in your niche are using. But since YouTube hides tags, you’ll need a tool to see them.
Instead of paying for tools like vidIQ or TubeBuddy, try our free YouTube Tag Extractor and Analyzer to extract tags from any public video.
Copy the tags or tweak them to match your keywords.
how to you choose best YouTube tags for your video
Here are 3 simple suggestions to help you choose the best tags for any YouTube video:
1. Start with your brand or channel keyword. If people tend to misspell your brand name, make sure you add all versions.
2. Add common and relevant tags from a couple of popular videos that directly compete with your video. Don’t add somebody else’s brand keywords, that’s just not cool.
3. Use our free YouTube tags generator for more keyword ideas.
We hope this helps!

how to use tag relevancy scores for best results
The Tag Relevance Score (0–100) indicates how well a tag aligns with the content of a specific video using your own metadata.
It evaluates clear, explainable signals, including lexical match with the title and description, phrase specificity (avoiding one-word generics and overly long strings), and contribution to overall coverage (favoring tags that capture distinct intents like “study”, “tutorial” without duplicating others).
The system also applies a modest uplift to safe variants and common misspellings of strong head terms to reflect real user behavior.
Higher scores generally denote a tighter fit and better descriptive value for that video.
Use the score as decision support, not a guarantee of discovery. It is not search volume and does not predict rankings.
Apply editorial judgment. Remove high-scoring tags that feel off-topic or redundant, and keep slightly lower-scoring tags when they precisely capture your angle or audience language.
Results improve with richer, cleaner metadata—clear titles, informative descriptions, and, where available, well-structured chapters and relevant hashtags.
Combine the score with common sense to select a concise, accurate set of tags that truly represent the video.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the YouTube Tags Inspector tool?
The YouTube Tags Inspector / Extractor is a free tool that allows you to extract the tags used by any public YouTube video. By entering the video’s URL, you can view the tags associated with that video, which is useful for analyzing SEO strategies of popular content.
How can I use the extracted tags effectively?
- Analyze popular tags used by top-performing videos in your niche.
- Use similar relevant tags in your own videos to improve visibility.
- Avoid using misleading or irrelevant tags, as they can hurt performance.
- Use the tag relevance score to estimate how closely the tag relates to the video’s other metadata.
Can I use this tool for any YouTube video?
Yes, as long as the video is public. Tags from private or unlisted videos cannot be extracted.
Is there a limit to how many tags I can extract?
The tool shows all tags available for the video, up to YouTube’s 500-character limit for tags. The number of tags depends on how the uploader used their tag space.
Do I need to log in to use the Tags Inspector?
No login is required for free users. However, logging into your TunePocket account removes captchas and ads and gives you ability to analyze unlimited videos.

I have not found Tags. Plz help me
There may be different reasons but most likely the video simply doesn’t have any tags. Learn more here: https://www.tunepocket.com/youtube-tags-inspector/#faq We’ll be adding a video preview soon, so you’ll be able to tell if the video is private, a Short, or was removed from YouTube.
Tag not found
Thank you for letting us know! Please note that some videos simply don’t have tags, as tags are optional. Most Shorts won’t have any tags. If you want us to investigate further please send the specific video link to support. We’ll be happy to check it out!
Will this tool show the tags for private videos? what if I want to check my own private videos?
No, this tool cannot get tags for private videos as private videos are not publicly accessible. If you want to see the tags for your own YouTube videos that are set to ‘Private’ you can do so by logging in to your YouTube Studio account. Hope this helps!
Amazing tools
Nice
Wonderfully wonderful
Good
All I ever get is a message saying no tags found or this is only beta…please try again later bla bla bla.. and nothing works at all. What an utter waste of time !
Please note, this is NOT a tag generator. This tool extracts the tags for given YouTube videos. If these videos do not have any tags, the output naturally will be, well, nothing. Here’s an example of a video that does contain tags: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5c70G_YxYU and you will get the results. If you want to send us some specific video links to double check please do so here: https://www.tunepocket.com/contact/
sending me again and again same tags for different links
This tool gives you the ACTUAL tags for a given YouTube video. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not impossible that different videos have the same tags, especially within the same channel (you can set up the default tags pre-populated automatically for all your videos). If you believe you’ve found a bug, please report it via the contact form. Thanks!
We may have found the reason (and added a fix!). YouTube adds default set of keywords to the videos that have no tags of their own. Fairly generic keywords like “video”, “phone video”, and so on. We have made adjustments so the tool won’t consider these generic keywords as proper tags. Hope this helps!
One of best
I didn’t get tags
Please note this is a tag extractor tool. That is, this tool extracts the tags from existing videos. However, not every video has tags. If you want to generate tags, use this tool instead: https://www.tunepocket.com/youtube-tags-generator/
Thanks guys amazing tool

Clear 1080p Thumbnail download option Back please…!
You can download youtube thumbnails with this tool: https://www.tunepocket.com/youtube-thumbnail-downloader/
good apllication
If there’s a option to copy the tags one by one it’s very helpful
This is a good free tool, but how about allowing the copy to clipboard feature to actually copy the keywords in the form of hashtags, so that it becomes more user friendly and users don’t have to paste it in a word doc and having to edit again? just something to think about.
But thank you for your product though. appreciate it. 🙂
Thank you for your feedback. We have a separate tool specifically for hashtags here: https://www.tunepocket.com/youtube-hashtags-extractor/ However, we’ll consider an addition that converts tags into hashtags right here. Hope this helps!
Now we have a separate tool for generating hashtags: https://www.tunepocket.com/youtube-hashtags-generator/

The tag inspector lets you check the tags / keywords used by popular YouTube videos. This tool was designed specifically for videos, however, we suppose you could use it for web posts to get keyword ideas for certain topics. Assuming your post shares the same topic.
Hope this helps!
