Paste a listing title and the Etsy Title Checker grades it from A to F, explains every issue from length to repeated words, and gives you a cleaned version to copy.
The Etsy Title Checker reads a listing title and gives it a grade from A to F, with a plain reason for every point it loses. It measures the length against Etsy's 140-character limit, checks whether your main phrase appears within the first 40 characters, and flags repeated words, words typed in ALL CAPS and symbols that make a title look like spam. Then it hands you a cleaned version to paste straight into your listing. Everything happens in your browser, so the check is instant, free and unlimited, and your title never leaves your device.
A title is the first thing a shopper reads in search results and one of the main signals Etsy uses to match a listing to a search. Long titles get cut short in results, especially on phones, so the opening words do most of the work. A title that repeats the same keyword five times is tiring to read and wastes space that could describe color, material or who the gift is for. Etsy's own seller advice favors clear, readable titles over strings of keywords for exactly this reason.
Plenty of sellers look for an Etsy title generator, but a generated title rarely knows what makes your item different. A better habit is to write the title yourself, lead with the phrase a buyer would actually type, and let the checker catch the slips that are easy to miss after an hour of editing a listing.
Take a title such as FUNNY CAT MOM SHIRT!!! Cat Lover Gift Cat Shirt Cat Tee Cat Mom Tee Soft Tee. The checker would flag the capital letters at the start, the run of exclamation marks and the word cat appearing five times. A tidier rewrite might read Funny Cat Mom Shirt, Cat Lover Gift, Soft Cotton Tee for Women, Cute Pet Owner T-Shirt. It is easier to scan, keeps the main phrase up front and adds who the shirt is for. Your own grade depends on the checks described below, so paste a few of your live titles and compare where they land.
You have up to 140 characters, spaces included. There is no prize for filling them all; a title that names the item early and adds only the details a buyer would search for usually beats one padded to the limit.
Paste one title and the grade updates as you type. Each check adds or removes points:
An A or B means the title is ready to publish. A C means one or two fixes will help. A D or F usually signals keyword stuffing or formatting problems that make the listing look careless. Start from the cleaned suggestion, put back any detail it trimmed that a buyer would care about, and move extra keyword variations into your 13 tags instead of the title.
