Calculate the length of any YouTube playlist
Paste a YouTube or YouTube Music playlist URL to get the total duration, speed breakdowns, and video stats with advanced sorting options.
Usage Tips
- • This tool only counts public videos. We cannot include hidden or deleted videos because YouTube does not share that information in the official API.
- • You don't have to calculate the whole playlist. You can measure just a specific section using the "From" and "To" input boxes.
- • Leave ""From"" empty? We start at the very first video.
- • Leave ""To"" empty? We count all the way to the last video.
- Example: If you want to check the length of videos 11 through 40, just type 11 in the "From" box and 40 in the "To" box.

Why Should I Know the Length of a YouTube Playlist?
By default, YouTube does not provide a native feature to sum up the running times of playlist videos. Knowing the combined duration of a YouTube playlist is critical for effective time management, whether you are planning a self-paced study course, scheduling online tutorials, or structuring workout playlists.
For self-directed learners and developers, knowing the total duration allows you to divide the course curriculum into daily workloads, align videos with time-blocking techniques like Pomodoro, and estimate exactly how many days or weeks are needed to master a new skill. To understand how playlist architectures and quotas function behind the scenes, check out our guide where we have debunked 16 common playlist misconceptions.
Plan Your Learning
When you are learning something from a YouTube playlist, knowing the total duration helps you break the course down into manageable chunks without feeling overwhelmed.
Watch Web Series Smartly
Watching an anime series or any web series on a YouTube playlist? Find out exactly how many hours of popcorn and snacks you're looking at before you even hit play.
Perfect for Workout Routines
If you have a playlist of fitness or yoga videos, knowing the combined length guarantees your workout fits perfectly into your morning schedule without making you late for work.
Speed Up and Save Time
Not everyone watches at normal speed. By seeing exactly how much time you save at 1.5x or 2x speed, you can improve study sessions and plan your day.
