Paste a YouTube video URL to discover the tags used by that video
Our YouTube tag finder (also known as a tag extractor) lets you discover the exact tags that any YouTube video is using. Simply paste a video URL and instantly see the keywords that creators in your niche are targeting.
Since YouTube removed public tag visibility in 2018, tags are no longer visible on video pages or in page source code. Our tool uses the official YouTube Data API to retrieve this hidden metadata, giving you insights that aren't available through normal browsing.
Start by finding top-performing videos in your niche—look for videos with high view counts relative to the channel size. Extract their tags to see what keywords they're targeting. Use these insights as inspiration, but only apply tags that genuinely describe your content. Copying irrelevant tags can hurt your channel's performance.

Yes, you can use similar tags to your competitors, but only if they're genuinely relevant to your content. Never copy tags that don't accurately describe your video—YouTube may penalize misleading tags. Use competitor tags as inspiration to identify keywords you might have missed.
YouTube tags help the algorithm understand your video's content and can improve discoverability, especially for misspelled searches. However, tags have a minor impact compared to title, description, and watch time. Focus on those first, then use tags to reinforce your main keywords.
