General
What is TubeNaut?▾

TubeNaut is a free website offering YouTube analysis and AI-powered tools for creators — including a video analyzer, earnings calculator, monetization checker, and AI tools like title, script and tag generators.

Is TubeNaut really free to use?▾

Yes. Every tool on TubeNaut is free, with no account or signup required. The site is supported by advertising instead of subscriptions.

Do I need to create an account to use the tools?▾

No. Most tools work by simply pasting a YouTube link. An optional Google sign-in is available if you want to save preferences, but it isn't required.

Is my data stored when I use a tool?▾

No. The links and text you enter are sent to the relevant API (YouTube, Gemini) to generate a result, and are not stored or logged by TubeNaut.

Does TubeNaut have an Android app?▾

Yes, TubeNaut offers an optional Android app that loads the same tools in an app-like experience.

Is there an iOS app?▾

Not currently. TubeNaut works fully in any mobile browser, including Safari on iPhone.

Who built TubeNaut?▾

TubeNaut was built by Pulkit, a YouTube creator and web developer, as a free toolkit for other creators.

How can I contact TubeNaut?▾

You can email pulkitsaini4320@gmail.com or reach out via the TubeNaut YouTube channel @pulkitentrepreneur.

Does TubeNaut work on mobile devices?▾

Yes, every tool is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktops.

Is TubeNaut affiliated with YouTube or Google?▾

No. TubeNaut is an independent, third-party website. It uses YouTube's official Data API but is not operated by YouTube or Google.

Video Analyzer
What does the Video Analyzer show?▾

It shows 30+ data points for any public YouTube video, including views, likes, comments, engagement rate, tags, category, monetization status, and region availability.

Can I analyze a private or unlisted video?▾

No. Only publicly available videos can be analyzed, since the tool relies on YouTube's public API data.

Why does it say a video's data is unavailable?▾

This usually means the video is private, deleted, age-restricted, or the link was entered incorrectly.

Can I analyze videos from any country?▾

Yes, as long as the video is public, you can analyze videos from any YouTube channel worldwide.

Does the analyzer work on YouTube Shorts?▾

Yes, Shorts can be analyzed the same way as regular long-form videos.

Earnings Calculator
How accurate is the Earnings Calculator?▾

It provides an estimate based on view count, video length, and typical CPM ranges — not an exact figure, since real earnings depend on advertiser demand, audience location and ad settings not visible publicly.

Why does it show three different earnings numbers?▾

The low, mid and high figures represent different CPM scenarios, since actual ad rates vary a lot by niche and audience.

Does the calculator account for Shorts revenue differently?▾

Shorts revenue works differently from long-form ad revenue (it's pooled rather than tied directly to one video), so Shorts estimates are generally more conservative.

Can I use this to predict my own channel's future earnings?▾

You can use it as a rough guide, but your actual AdSense dashboard will always be more accurate for your own channel.

Why do two similar videos show different earnings estimates?▾

Earnings estimates scale with both view count and video length, since longer videos can carry more ad breaks.

Monetization & Ad Break Finder
What does the Monetization Checker tell me?▾

It gives an indication of whether a channel appears to meet typical YouTube Partner Program signals, based on public data.

Can this tool guarantee I'll get monetized?▾

No. Only YouTube's own review process can approve monetization. This tool is for guidance only.

What are the current YouTube Partner Program requirements?▾

As of 2026, you generally need 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 watch hours in the past year or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. See our blog for the latest details.

What does the Ad Break Finder actually detect?▾

It estimates likely mid-roll ad positions based on video length and standard ad placement patterns.

Can I use the Ad Break Finder to place my own mid-rolls better?▾

Yes, many creators use it as a reference point when manually placing ad breaks in YouTube Studio.

AI Tools
What AI model powers TubeNaut's AI tools?▾

The AI tools are powered by Google's Gemini API.

Is the Title Generator good for SEO?▾

Yes, it's designed to balance curiosity and searchability, which generally helps both click-through rate and discoverability.

Can the Script Generator write a full video script from scratch?▾

Yes, give it a topic or idea and it will draft a structured script you can edit and refine.

Does the Tag Generator use real YouTube SEO data?▾

It generates tag suggestions based on your topic and common optimization patterns, though tag impact on ranking is limited compared to title and description.

What does the Viral Score Engine measure?▾

It analyzes a video's early metrics and metadata to estimate how likely it is to perform well, as a directional signal rather than a guarantee.

How does the SEO Optimizer help my video rank better?▾

It reviews your title, description and tags and suggests improvements aligned with common YouTube search ranking factors.

Can the Competitor Tracker compare multiple channels at once?▾

It's built to analyze one channel at a time and compare its metrics against general benchmarks.

Is the Thumbnail Generator free to use?▾

Yes, it's completely free with no watermark.

Can I download thumbnails in different resolutions?▾

The Thumbnail Downloader fetches the highest resolution version YouTube has available for that video.

What does the Background Eraser work best on?▾

It works best on images with a clear subject and reasonably distinct background, like photos for thumbnails.

Does the Channel Analyzer need the channel owner's permission?▾

No, since it only uses publicly available channel data through YouTube's API.

Is there a limit to how many times I can use the AI tools?▾

The tools are free to use; very heavy automated use may be rate-limited to keep the service fair for everyone.

Technical & Troubleshooting
Why is a tool loading slowly?▾

This is usually due to YouTube API response times or your internet connection, rather than an issue with TubeNaut itself.

Why do I see 'no data found' for a valid video?▾

Double check the link is correct and the video is public. Age-restricted or region-locked content can sometimes return limited data.

Which browsers does TubeNaut support?▾

TubeNaut works on all modern browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.

Do I need to disable my ad blocker to use the tools?▾

No, the tools themselves work with an ad blocker enabled. Ad blockers only affect whether you see the ads that support the site.

Why did signing in with Google not work?▾

This can happen if third-party cookies are blocked in your browser. Try enabling them for tubenaut.com or use a different browser.

Can I use TubeNaut tools through an API?▾

TubeNaut doesn't currently offer a public API; the tools are designed for direct use on the website.

Is TubeNaut's source code open source?▾

No, TubeNaut is a closed-source project at this time.

Privacy & Advertising
Does TubeNaut sell my data?▾
