How it works

Titles are built from patterns we wrote, filled with your topic, audience, number and time frame. Turn styles on and off to narrow the list, then copy one or all.

On YouTube Shorts the title is a real field (up to 100 characters). TikTok and Instagram Reels don't have a separate title, so use the line as the first line of your caption or as text on screen.

What makes a short-video title work

  1. 1

    Lead with the topic word

    People and search both read the first few words.

  2. 2

    Promise one thing

    A result, an answer or a list. Not all three.

  3. 3

    Match the video

    If the title asks a question, answer it in the first seconds.

  4. 4

    Keep it short

    Long titles get cut off in feeds. Say it in one breath.

Worked example

Topic: meal prep. Audience: busy students. Number: 5. Time: 7 days.

How-to: “How I meal prep in 7 days #shorts”

List: “5 meal prep tips I wish I knew sooner #shorts”

Versus: “Meal prep vs takeout: which is better? #shorts”

Questions

How long can a YouTube Shorts title be?

Up to 100 characters, the same as any YouTube video, per YouTube Help.

Do I need #shorts in the title?

It's optional. It can help label the video as a Short; leave it off if you'd rather keep the characters.

Do TikTok videos have titles?

Not a separate one. Your caption's first line acts as the title, and on-screen text does the rest.

Is this AI-generated?

No. It's template-based, so it's instant, private and gives the same output for the same input.
