What you get
The ID and clean links
- Playlist ID from the list= parameter
- Clean youtube.com/playlist link
- Clean video-in-playlist link
- Tracking parameters removed
- Works with pasted raw IDs
Playlist IDs usually start with a prefix such as PL for creator playlists or UU for a channel’s uploads.
Share cleanly
Links copied mid-playlist carry extra parameters like index= and si=. The rebuilt links keep only what is needed.
For APIs and embeds
The YouTube Data API, playlist embeds, and many automation tools ask for the playlist ID rather than the full URL.
Runs in your browser
The ID is read directly from the link on your device. No request is made to YouTube.
Common questions
YouTube playlist ID FAQ
Formats, prefixes, and where to find the ID.
What is a YouTube playlist ID?
It is the unique code that identifies a playlist. In a URL it appears after list=, for example youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxxxxxxxx.
What do PL, UU, and other prefixes mean?
PL is used for playlists created by users. UU is a channel’s automatic uploads playlist. Other prefixes, such as OL for albums and LL for liked videos, identify special playlists.
How do I get the playlist ID from a video link?
When a video is playing inside a playlist, its URL includes list= followed by the playlist ID. Paste that link here and the tool extracts it.
How long is my playlist?
Use the YouTube Playlist Length Calculator to add up the duration of every accessible video in the playlist.
