YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator

Add up total watch time for every video in a YouTube playlist.

Durations come straight from YouTube's own data for each video, then added up — private or deleted videos in the playlist are skipped since YouTube doesn't report a length for them.

About YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator

YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator totals the runtime of videos in a public playlist so you know how long it takes to watch end to end. Students and creators searching "playlist total length" or "how long is this playlist" need a sum without opening every video.

Paste a playlist URL or ID and calculate. Private or deleted items may be skipped. Very large playlists can take longer to process.

Durations reflect listed video lengths, not your personal playback speed or skipped segments.

Useful for course-style playlists, music compilations, and competitive research on binge structure.

A timing helper - not a download or offline viewing tool.

Is there a video limit?

Very large lists may be slower or partially limited by practical constraints.

Does this download the videos?

No - it only totals durations.
