YouTube Playlist Analyzer
Paste a playlist link to see its total length, views, likes and engagement, its best videos, which channels it draws from and when they were uploaded.
How to analyze a YouTube playlist
- 01
Paste the playlist link
Any public or unlisted playlist works. Every video is read, however long the playlist is.
- 02
Wait for likes and comments
Views and lengths show straight away; likes and comments for each video load right after.
- 03
Rank and compare
Rank the top videos by views, likes, comments or engagement, and see the breakdown by channel and upload year.
What the analysis covers
The totals cover every playable video: combined length, views, likes and comments, the average and median video length, and the overall engagement rate, which is likes plus comments divided by views. Deleted and private videos are counted separately and left out of the numbers.
For playlists built from several channels, the channel breakdown shows who contributed how many videos, how much watch time and how many views. The upload-year table shows how old the material is, which matters for courses and tutorials.
Frequently asked questions
How is the engagement rate calculated?
Likes plus comments, divided by views, for every playable video in the playlist together. Each video's own rate is in the top videos table.
Why are some videos missing from the engagement ranking?
Only videos with at least 1,000 views are ranked by engagement, so a few likes on a barely watched video don't put it at the top.
How is this different from the playlist length calculator and health check?
The length calculator is for watch time and tracking progress; the health check finds deleted, private and repeated videos and estimates drop-off. The analyzer adds likes, comments, engagement, top videos and the channel and year breakdowns.
Are the numbers live?
They're read from YouTube when you press Analyze. YouTube can update view counts with a short delay, and some channels hide their like counts.
