Calculate the total length of any YouTube playlist and see how long it takes at different playback speeds. Free, no login.
Supports: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… · full playlist URL
Paste a public playlist URL (youtube.com/playlist?list=…), a watch link that includes &list=PL…, or a raw PL… playlist ID. We add up every video duration from the YouTube Data API and show total runtime, video count, and average length per video—with a Watch at speed grid from 0.75× to 2× so you can plan a course, study block, or binge at your real playback pace.
Each lookup processes up to 200 videos, which covers most courses, tutorial series, and curated lists. Private, deleted, or otherwise unavailable entries are skipped, so totals reflect public metadata only and may differ slightly from the count YouTube displays on the playlist page.
A quick read on total length, per-video averages, and how duration shifts at each playback speed.
The sum of all video lengths in the playlist, displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. The definitive answer to "how long will this take?"
Total duration divided by video count. Useful for comparing playlist density — a 10-hour playlist with 5 videos is very different from one with 50.
The total number of videos in the playlist at the time of the check. Private or deleted videos in the list are excluded from the count.
Duration at 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75×, and 2× playback speed, so you can plan exactly how long a course or series will take at your preferred pace.
Copy a YouTube playlist URL (youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…) and paste it above.
The tool fetches all video durations from the YouTube API and sums them.
Check the speed table to see how long the playlist takes at your preferred playback rate.
Know exactly how many hours a YouTube course or tutorial series requires before committing to it.
Divide total playlist length by your available daily study time to create a realistic completion schedule.
Plan a weekend binge of a YouTube series by knowing upfront whether it is a 3-hour or a 12-hour commitment.
See the time saved at 1.5× or 2× speed before switching — useful for deciding whether to speed through a long lecture series.
Editors and producers use playlist length to estimate how much raw material exists in a series before repurposing it.
Include total playlist duration in course syllabi, event schedules, or content briefs to set accurate time expectations.
