Playlist length

How long is it, really?

YouTube shows how many videos a playlist has, not how long it takes to watch. The calculator adds up every video's duration and shows the time at faster playback speeds — useful for courses, lecture series and binge plans.

01

Courses: plan by speed

Most people watch tutorials faster than 1×. Divide by your usual speed to see how many sessions a course really takes.

Weak

"It's 40 videos, I'll finish this weekend."

Better

"It's 11 hours at 1×, about 7 at 1.5× — three evenings."

02

Creators: make series easy to finish

If you publish a series, a clear total length in the playlist description helps viewers commit to watching it all.

Weak

A 60-video playlist with no description

Better

"Complete course — 12 lessons, about 3 hours"

FAQ

Questions

How do I find the total length of a YouTube playlist?+

Paste the playlist link above. It adds up the duration of every public video and shows the total, the average per video, and the time at 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75× and 2×.

Does it work with unlisted playlists?+

Yes, as long as you have the link. Private playlists can't be read.

Why is the count lower than the playlist size?+

Private and deleted videos still take a slot in the playlist but have no public duration, so they're left out and counted separately.

Is it free?+

Yes, no sign-up, with an hourly limit per person.
