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