SEO & YouTube Tools
Free tools for the YouTube side of search: pull the hidden tags from a video, generate titles worth testing, grab a thumbnail at full resolution, read engagement behind the view count, run a fair giveaway and estimate what a channel earns.
YouTube Tag Extractor
Pull every tag out of any public YouTube video. Tags are hidden from viewers but still sit in the page source, so this is the fastest way to see what keywords a video that is already ranking chose to target.
Use tool →YouTube Title Generator
Ten title options for a topic, each scored for click through potential. Handles Shorts as well as long form, and every suggestion copies with one click.
Use tool →YouTube Thumbnail Downloader
Grab the thumbnail from any YouTube URL at the highest resolution the video has. Useful for studying what thumbnails work in your niche, and for recovering your own artwork when the original file is gone.
Use tool →YouTube Video Stats Checker
Views, likes, comments and engagement rate for any public video, including the ratios that the number of views alone will not tell you.
Use tool →YouTube Comment Picker
Pick a random winner from the comments on a video. Built for giveaways where the draw has to be visibly fair rather than just claimed to be.
Use tool →YouTube Money Calculator
Estimate AdSense earnings, sponsorship value and overall channel worth from view count, using RPM figures that differ by niche and by country rather than one flat global rate.

Which tool, and when
These six line up with the order a video actually gets made in, from researching the topic to working out what the channel is worth.
Planning the video
Start with what already works. The Tag Extractor shows the keywords a ranking video targeted, and the Title Generator turns a topic into ten options with a click through score attached.
Building the packaging
Title and thumbnail decide whether anyone clicks. The Thumbnail Downloader pulls competitor artwork at full resolution so you can study what your niche is actually doing.
Reading the result
Views on their own say very little. The Video Stats Checker gives the engagement ratios behind them for any public video, yours or anyone else's.
Working out the money
The Money Calculator estimates AdSense earnings and sponsorship value from view count, with RPM figures that change by niche and country.
Every tool here reads public data only, which is the honest boundary. Private videos, unlisted videos and the channel level analytics that only the owner sees are all out of reach, and any site claiming otherwise is either guessing or asking for your login.

FAQ
Online SEO Tools: FAQs
What are SEO tools?
SEO tools are online utilities that help you research keywords, inspect metadata, improve content and understand how a page or video is performing in search. The tools on this page are the YouTube side of that: tags, titles, thumbnails, stats, giveaways and revenue.
Are Calcxi SEO and YouTube tools free to use?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free with no sign-up, no account and no usage limit. There is no third result that suddenly asks for an email. Advertising on the page covers the running costs.
What can I actually do with the tools on this page?
Six things. Pull the hidden tags from a video, generate ten scored title options, download a thumbnail at full resolution, check views and engagement for any public video, draw a random giveaway winner from the comments, and estimate what a channel earns.
Do you have general SEO tools, such as keyword research or a meta tag checker?
Not yet. Everything in this section is currently YouTube focused, and it is more useful to say that than to let you go hunting for a keyword research tool that is not here. General SEO utilities are on the list to build. In the meantime, Google Search Console covers the parts that matter most for a website.
Can I use these tools for YouTube SEO?
That is what they are built for. The Tag Extractor reveals what keywords a video that is already ranking chose, which is a far more reliable signal than guessing, and the Title Generator turns those ideas into titles worth testing.
Where do these tools get their data?
From the YouTube Data API and from publicly available video metadata, which is the same information YouTube shows to anyone opening the page. That is also the limit: private videos, unlisted videos and channel level analytics that only the owner can see are all out of reach.
Who can use these tools?
Creators, editors, digital marketers, small business owners, content writers and anyone researching a niche before publishing. None of them need technical knowledge. You paste a video URL or type a topic and read the result.
Can SEO tools help improve my rankings?
They help you find opportunities and spot problems, which is not the same as ranking for you. Search position depends on content quality, search intent, watch time on YouTube, backlinks on the web and plenty else. A tool sharpens the decision, it does not replace the work.
How accurate is the YouTube Money Calculator?
It is an estimate, and honest ones always come as a range. Actual earnings move with niche, audience country, video length, ad format and the time of year, which is exactly why the calculator asks for niche and country rather than applying one global RPM to everybody. Treat the output as a realistic band, not a forecast.
Are these tools useful for beginners?
Particularly so. Tag research, title testing and engagement analysis are the parts of YouTube that usually sit behind paid software, and doing them by hand takes time most new creators do not have. Nothing here needs a subscription or a tutorial.
What is the difference between SEO tools and marketing tools?
SEO tools focus on search visibility: keywords, metadata, content structure and how a page or video is found. Marketing tools are broader and cover advertising, email, social scheduling, conversion tracking and analytics dashboards. The two overlap, but SEO is the discovery half.
Do you store the URLs I paste in?
No. The video URLs and topics you enter are used to fetch a result and are not stored on our servers or tied to you in any way.
How often should I use these tools?
Before publishing new content, when refreshing an older video, during a research session on a niche, and whenever you want to compare your numbers against something that is already working. There are no usage limits, so use them as often as it is useful.
What tools are coming next to this section?
General SEO utilities are the obvious gap and the most likely next step. In the meantime the Instagram tools cover the short form video side, and you can browse everything else from the Calcxi homepage. Have a request? Contact the team and we will prioritise it.
Data source
The YouTube Data API and publicly available video metadata, which is the same information YouTube shows anyone opening the page.
Public data only
Private and unlisted videos cannot be read, and neither can owner only channel analytics. That limit is by design.
Privacy
The URLs and topics you enter are used to fetch a result and are not stored on our servers.
Disclaimer
Earnings figures are estimates and search results depend on many factors. These tools inform a decision rather than guarantee an outcome.
