About This Tool
Ever wondered exactly how long a YouTube playlist is? This tool is a simple and fast YouTube playlist length calculator that gives you the total watch time for any public playlist.
Whether you're planning a study session with an educational series, scheduling a workout with a fitness playlist, or settling in for a long binge-watch, knowing the total duration helps you manage your time effectively. Our calculator provides the precise playlist duration so you can plan your day accordingly.
How It Works
This tool uses the official YouTube Data API to fetch details for any playlist you provide. It accurately calculates the total playlist time by retrieving every video and summing up their individual durations.
You can also provide your own YouTube API key to get faster results for any YouTube playlist duration and to avoid potential rate limits. If you don't provide a key, the tool will use a shared backend server to fetch the data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are private or unlisted playlists supported?
Currently, the tool only supports public YouTube playlists. The YouTube API does not provide access to private or unlisted playlists without specific authorization from the playlist owner.
Is there a limit to the number of videos in a playlist?
There is no hard limit imposed by this tool. It can calculate the duration for playlists with hundreds of videos. However, very large playlists (over 500 videos) may take slightly longer to process.
Can I calculate the duration for only a part of the playlist?
Yes. After the playlist details are loaded, you can use the 'From Video' and 'To Video' dropdowns to select a specific range of videos. The total and adjusted durations will automatically update to reflect your selection. This is perfect for calculating the watch time of a specific segment of a larger playlist.
What is a YouTube API Key and why do I need one?
A YouTube API key is a code that lets you access YouTube's data. You don't necessarily need one. The tool can work without it. However, using your own key is recommended for heavy users to avoid hitting the daily quota limits of the server API key.
Is it safe to enter my YouTube API key here?
It is safe to enter your key here; it is stored only in your browser's local storage and is sent directly to Google's servers. It never touches our server.
What data is included in the CSV export?
The CSV export provides a detailed breakdown of the playlist. Each row represents a video and includes the video number, title, YouTube video ID, duration in seconds, formatted duration (HH:MM:SS), and a direct URL to the video.
