How to Use the Channel Keywords Extractor

Channel keywords are SEO tags a channel owner sets under YouTube Studio > Settings > Channel > Basic info. They are never displayed on the channel page — they only exist to help YouTube understand what the channel is about. This tool pulls them straight from the page's underlying data.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Enter Channel Information

    Paste any of the following into the input field:

    • Full channel URL (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd)
    • Legacy URL format (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ)
    • A bare handle (e.g., @mkbhd)
  2. Click Extract Keywords

    Hit the red "Extract Keywords" button or press Enter to start.

  3. View and Copy Results

    You'll see every keyword the channel has set, ready to copy as a comma list, a line-by-line list, or download as JSON.

Pro Tip

Run this on a few successful channels in your niche to see how they are positioning themselves, then compare against your own channel's keywords in YouTube Studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are YouTube channel keywords?

They are keyword tags a channel owner enters under YouTube Studio > Settings > Channel > Basic info. They describe the channel as a whole (not individual videos) and are not shown anywhere on the channel page itself.

Do channel keywords affect ranking?

Their direct ranking influence is minimal today — YouTube's systems mostly rely on titles, descriptions, and audience engagement. They are still a useful signal for how a channel is positioning and categorizing itself.

Why did no keywords show up for a channel?

Not every channel sets them. Smaller or newer channels often leave this field blank in YouTube Studio.

Is there a limit to how many channels I can check?

No, there is no usage limit. You can check as many channels as you need.

Does the tool store my search history?
