Questions? Answers.
Is the YouTube tag generator free?
Yes — generate tags free, no signup or credit card. It's powered by the same AI inside Nova.
Do YouTube tags still matter?
They're a secondary signal, not a magic switch — title, thumbnail, and retention matter more. But tags help YouTube understand your topic, catch common misspellings, and surface you for long-tail searches. Worth getting right, not worth obsessing over.
How many tags should I add?
Use the space well — roughly 12-18 relevant tags. Lead with your most specific, exact-match phrases (YouTube weights the earliest tags most), then broaden to category and long-tail search terms. Stuffing 50 loosely-related tags dilutes the signal.
Can Nova turn my long videos into clips?
Yes. Nova finds the best moments in your long-form videos and ships them as captioned vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — with titles, tags, and descriptions written automatically. Try it free.
