I build PlaylistTime: free tools that tell you how long a YouTube playlist, a channel, a course or a book will take, and tools that help YouTube creators understand their channels.

Why I built PlaylistTime

I was getting distracted on YouTube. This calculator helped me concentrate on my playlist, and it also helped me complete things on time.

After testing out a lot of websites, I found what is needed by people and what is not, and built around this. So every tool here starts empty, answers one question clearly, and shows where its numbers come from.

What I build here

I also write the PlaylistTime guides. The newest:

How the numbers are made

YouTube lengths, dates, views and channel details are read live from the official YouTube Data API. Nothing is guessed or scraped.
Every rate, limit and rule on a tool page (earnings ranges, Partner Program thresholds, Shorts rules, upload sizes) links to the source it came from, with the date it was checked.
Original data, like the study of 37 YouTube course playlists, is published with its date and a CSV download.
Where something cannot be known from outside a channel, the tool says so instead of showing a made-up number.

Corrections and contact

If a result or a fact looks wrong, email hello@playlisttime.com with the link, and I will check and fix it. More about the site is on the About page.
