Free YouTube Tools

A growing set of free, no-signup utilities for working with YouTube videos, built by Tube Search, the search engine for live and deleted YouTube videos. Each tool runs right in your browser and is backed by the same infrastructure that indexes over a billion videos, so where other tools stop at what YouTube shows today, ours can also look into the archive.

YouTube Frame by Frame Viewer

Step through any YouTube video one frame at a time: forward or backward, at your chosen frame rate, with slow motion and exact time jumps. The built-in metadata panel also extracts the video’s tags, language, and region restrictions.

YouTube Channel Name Checker

Check whether a channel name (handle) is taken or likely available, with instant validation of YouTube’s handle rules and, when it’s in use, a link to the channel that holds it.
