Everything public about a channel in one card: the channel ID with a copy button, joined date, country, keywords, topics, counts, and the latest uploads with per-video stats.

How it works
The analyzer works out the channel behind whatever you paste: a handle, a channel URL, a legacy /user/ URL, a bare name, or any video URL. A bare name is tried as a handle first, then as a legacy username. It reads the channel's public record through YouTube's official Data API. It then loads the channel's uploads playlist and the stats of the latest 20 videos in one pass, so the card and the uploads table come from a single analysis.
Numbers are shown the way YouTube publishes them. Subscriber counts are rounded to three significant figures, or hidden when the owner hides them. Views and video counts are shown as they are. Cadence is reported as plain facts, the number of uploads and the date range they span, rather than an invented score. Results keep a shareable link for 7 days, and nothing is tracked over time.
From any upload row you can jump into the Video Data Viewer for the full record or the Tag Extractor for its tags. The Profile Picture Downloader grabs the avatar and banner files.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a YouTube channel ID?
Enter the channel's handle, URL, or name above. The analyzer resolves it and shows the UC... channel ID at the top of the card with a copy button. The ID is the stable identifier that tools and APIs ask for. Handles can change, but the ID cannot. On YouTube itself the ID is buried in the page source, which is why "channel ID finder" is half of what this tool gets used for.
What does the analyzer show about a channel?
The public record. That means the channel ID, handle, title, creation date and age, country, and description. It also shows the channel keywords the owner set, which normally appear only in page metadata, and YouTube's topic categories for the channel. You get the subscriber count as YouTube publishes it (rounded), total views, public video count, banner, and avatar. And you get the latest 20 uploads with each video's date, length, views, likes, and comments.
Can I search for a channel by name?
Yes. Type the name and the analyzer tidies it and tries it first as a handle, then as a legacy username. That resolves most established channels, so "Preppy Kitchen" works. When a name does not resolve that way, the tool asks for the channel URL or @handle instead of guessing between channels with similar names. You can also paste any video URL from the channel.
What are channel keywords and topics?
Channel keywords are a free-text field the owner fills in channel settings. They hint at the channel's subject to YouTube and are not shown on the channel page, so seeing a competitor's is useful. Topics are YouTube's own classification, such as music, gaming, or lifestyle categories, assigned by its systems. Both appear as chips on the card when present.
What does the uploads table tell me?
The latest 20 public uploads with their dates, lengths, and counts, plus a plain statement of the range, such as "20 videos between May 3 and Aug 27". That answers the cadence question at a glance. Each row links into the Video Data Viewer and the Tag Extractor for a per-video deep dive.
Why is the subscriber count rounded?
YouTube publishes public subscriber counts rounded to three significant figures. The exact number is visible only to the owner in YouTube Studio. The analyzer shows the published figure as it is, and "Hidden" when the owner hides the count.
Where does the data come from?
From YouTube, through its official Data API. It is the same public record the channel page renders, with no scraping. Lookups are cached briefly on our side. Results keep a shareable link for 7 days, and nothing is tracked over time.
Is the YouTube channel analyzer free?
Yes, free with no signup. Each analysis draws one lookup from the shared daily allowance shown by the quota chip. Signing in on a paid Keywords Everywhere plan raises the cap. For just the counts, the lighter Subscriber Count checker answers faster.
