About this free title & subtitle length

Amazon KDP enforces a 200-character limit on titles and subtitles. This title length checker counts characters in real time, previews how your listing might look, and flags when you approach the limit — so your metadata is accepted on first upload.

How to use the Title & Subtitle Length

  1. Type your book title in the title field.
  2. Add an optional subtitle.
  3. Watch character counts update live.
  4. Keep each field under 200 characters.
  5. Copy the final title/subtitle to KDP.
