How Yootube works

Your files stay with you

The checkers read your image inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our server, and there is no account to create.

Official numbers, dated

Sizes and limits come from YouTube Help and the YouTube developer documentation. Every page shows when we last checked them.

No made-up figures

We do not guess your earnings or invent averages. The money calculator uses your own RPM, the one YouTube Studio shows you.
