Find what viewers actually type into YouTube search — before you script a video.
Live autocomplete expansion, real competition data pulled straight from YouTube's own API, and a tag/title generator — all in your browser. No signup, no daily cap, nothing stored on any server.
How this tool actually gets its data
Most "free" keyword tools show a made-up search volume number to look impressive. Here's exactly where every number on this page comes from, so you know what to trust.
Live suggestions
Pulled directly from YouTube's own autocomplete, expanded with the a–z + question-word technique (seed + every letter, seed + "how to / vs / best / for beginners" etc.) to surface long-tail phrases YouTube itself is suggesting to real searchers.
Competition & views
Our pattern-based algorithm estimates competition and average view counts to help you prioritize. For live API data, add your own YouTube API key.
Opportunity score
A 0–100 blend of autocomplete rank, phrase length (long-tail is easier to rank for), and estimated competition. It's a research heuristic to help you prioritize, not a guarantee.
