Free YouTube Tag Extractor

YouTube tags are hidden metadata that help videos rank in search and recommendations. The platform stopped showing them publicly — but they are still embedded in every video page. The YouTube Tag Extractor pulls all tags from any public video so you can research what is driving views and replicate the strategy for your own content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really see hidden YouTube tags?
Yes. YouTube removed tags from the public UI but they remain in the page's HTML metadata. Clura reads that metadata and displays every tag for any public video.
Is the YouTube Tag Extractor free?
Yes. The tool is free to use with the Clura Chrome extension. Install it, navigate to any YouTube video, and extract tags with one click — no subscription required.
Does it work on all YouTube videos?
It works on any publicly accessible YouTube video. Private or unlisted videos cannot be accessed as their pages are restricted.
Can I export tags to Excel?
Yes. Clura lets you export extracted data to CSV, which opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets for further analysis.
How many tags can a YouTube video have?
YouTube allows up to 500 characters of tags per video. Most creators use 5–15 tags. Clura extracts all of them regardless of count.
Can I extract tags from YouTube Shorts?
Yes. YouTube Shorts use the same metadata structure as regular videos. Clura extracts tags from Shorts just like any other video.
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No. Clura reads tags directly from the video page metadata without using the YouTube Data API — no API key or developer account required.
