## FAQ

### What should a YouTube Shorts title say?

YouTube weighs the title heavily for discovery, so a good Shorts title is short (under ~100 characters), keyword-rich, and curiosity-driving. Including #shorts helps YouTube categorize it. This generator produces five title options built for search and click-through.

### Do hashtags matter on YouTube Shorts?

Yes — a few relevant hashtags (including #shorts) help YouTube understand and surface your video, and they appear above the title. Two to four focused hashtags are plenty; this tool adds a tuned set to each option.

### Is the YouTube Shorts caption generator free?

Yes — free with no sign-up, within fair-use limits.
