YouTube Tag Extractor

Amaze SEO Tools offers a free YouTube Tag Extractor that reveals the tags behind any public YouTube video. This tool is a must-have for creators and marketers who want to study their competitors' tag strategies and learn what's working in their niche.

Every YouTube video has hidden tags that viewers can't normally see. These tags play a role in how YouTube categorizes the video and decides where to show it in search results and recommendations. By extracting the tags from successful videos in your niche, you can discover which keywords top creators are targeting — and apply similar strategies to your own uploads.

Our Tag Extractor makes this process effortless. Just paste any YouTube video link, and the tool instantly displays all the tags the creator has added to that video. No guesswork, no browser extensions, no technical skills required.

Fill Input Fields in the YouTube Tags Extractor

This tool has a simple, minimal interface with just two input elements:

1. Enter YouTube Video URL

This is the main input field where you paste the full URL of any YouTube video. The placeholder text shows "https://..." as a format guide. You can paste any standard YouTube video link, such as:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX
• https://youtu.be/XXXXXXXXXXX

The tool reads the video's metadata and extracts all the tags the uploader has added to it.

Tip: Copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar or from the Share button on YouTube to avoid errors.

2. reCAPTCHA (I'm not a robot)

A quick security check to confirm you're a real person. Click the "I'm not a robot" checkbox before extracting tags. This one-click step is required each time you use the tool.

Action Buttons

Below the input area, you'll find three buttons:

Extract (Blue Button)

The primary action button. After pasting a YouTube video URL and completing the reCAPTCHA, click "Extract" to pull all the hidden tags from that video. The tool will display every tag the video creator used, giving you full visibility into their keyword strategy.

Sample (Green Button)

Wondering how the results will look? Click "Sample" to see a demo extraction using an example video. This lets you explore the output format and understand what to expect before pasting your own URL.

Reset (Red Button)

Clears the URL field and reCAPTCHA, bringing the form back to its blank default state. Click this when you're ready to extract tags from a different video.

How to Use YouTube Tag Extractor – Step by Step

1. Find a YouTube video whose tags you want to see — this could be a competitor's video, a trending video in your niche, or any public YouTube video.
2. Copy the video's URL from your browser's address bar or the YouTube Share button.
3. Paste the URL into the "Enter YouTube Video URL" field on the Amaze SEO Tools Tag Extractor page.
4. Complete the reCAPTCHA by checking the "I'm not a robot" box.
5. Click "Extract" to reveal all hidden tags from that video.
6. Analyze the results — review the extracted tags to understand which keywords the creator targeted, and use these insights to improve your own video's tag strategy.

How to Use Extracted Tags to Grow Your Channel

Extracting tags is only the first step. Here's how to turn those insights into real results for your own videos:

• Study top-ranking videos in your niche — Extract tags from the first 5-10 videos that appear when you search your target keyword on YouTube. Look for common tags they all share — these are likely high-performing keywords you should also be using.
• Identify tag patterns from successful creators — Notice how top creators structure their tags. Do they use a mix of short and long keywords? Do they include their channel name? Apply similar patterns to your own uploads.
• Discover keywords you might have missed — Competitors often use tags you haven't thought of. Extracting their tags can reveal valuable keyword opportunities that you can incorporate into your own video's tags, title, and description.
• Don't copy tags blindly — Use extracted tags as research and inspiration, not as a copy-paste solution. Your tags should accurately describe your own video's content. Irrelevant tags can hurt your performance.
• Combine with our Tag Generator — After researching competitor tags with the Extractor, use the Amaze SEO Tools YouTube Tag Generator to produce additional optimized tags for your own videos. Using both tools together gives you the strongest possible tag strategy.

A: You can extract tags from any public YouTube video. Private or unlisted videos may not return results since their metadata is restricted.

A: Some creators choose not to add tags to their videos. If the extraction returns no results, it means the video uploader simply didn't include any tags.

Q: Is it legal to view another video's tags?
