Paste a YouTube video link to see the exact date and time it was published. Free, no signup, no API key.
A free finder for when a YouTube video was uploaded. Paste a watch, youtu.be or Shorts link and it reads the publish date and time from the video page. No signup, no account, no API key.
Every public YouTube watch page carries a machine-readable publish date for search engines. The tool reads that value, so it is the same date Google uses, not an estimate.
To judge a video's pace, compare its age with its views. The YouTube Video Statistics checker does that and also shows average views per day.
Paste the video's link above. The tool reads the publish date and time from the video page and shows how many days ago it was. On YouTube itself the date sits under the video title, and the exact time is in the page's source.
For most videos, yes. For scheduled videos and premieres the date shown is when the video went public, which can be later than when the file was uploaded.
The time is shown as the video page writes it, together with its time zone offset, and nothing is converted. That way the date cannot shift by a day because of the viewer's time zone.
