YouTube Tags Extractor
Pull the title, description, tags, channel, view count, and thumbnail from any YouTube video.

What happens when you click Extract tags?
This tool works through the OneClickUse server, so the link or ID you enter leaves your browser. If the box holds exactly 11 letters, digits, hyphens or underscores, it is sent as a video ID; anything else is sent as a URL. The server passes the request to a separate lookup service, which reads the public watch page and returns the details. A successful answer can be cached for up to 10 minutes, so a view count may trail the live page slightly. Pressing Enter in the box runs the lookup too, and if it fails, the server's message appears in a red box under the input.
How do you read the results?
View counts are rounded to one decimal place with K, M or B, so 1,234,567 views shows as 1.2M and 15,300 as 15.3K. Counts under 1,000 appear in full, and round numbers keep the decimal, so 2,000 shows as 2.0K. The channel name and publish date sit under the title, and long descriptions scroll inside their own box. Lines with no data, such as a missing channel name or view count, are left out. Links and timestamps in the description appear as plain text. The number in the Tags / keywords heading is how many tags the page exposes for that video.
Click any tag to copy it on its own, or use Copy all for the whole list joined with a comma and a space, such as "budget travel, travel vlog, packing tips, solo trip". That matches YouTube Studio's tag field, which takes comma-separated tags. Open thumbnail shows the image in a new tab, where you can save it.
What is the difference between tags and hashtags?
Tags are hidden fields the uploader fills in inside YouTube Studio, and the tag list here shows those. Hashtags are words starting with # written into the title or description, so they appear in the Description box and not among the tags. When a video has an empty tag list, its title and description are where its keywords live. Running the same lookup on a few videos that rank for your search term shows which phrases they share.
For the thumbnail in up to five standard sizes, paste the same link into the YouTube Thumbnail Downloader.
