Frequently asked questions

How do I find the exact upload time of a YouTube video?

YouTube only shows the date on the watch page. Paste the link above and the tool shows the date and, when YouTube makes it public, the time of day in your own time zone.

Why is the upload date different from the date on YouTube?

YouTube shows the publish date in the video's own time zone, and a video can be uploaded as private or scheduled and published later. The tool shows the date YouTube reports for the upload.

What does views per day tell me?

It is total views divided by the number of days since upload. It shows whether a video is still being found or got most of its views at launch.

Does it work for Shorts and live streams?

Yes, for any public video, Short or finished live stream. Private and age-restricted videos can't be read.

Is the YouTube video data viewer free?

Yes. It's free, needs no sign-up and doesn't save the links you check.
