Why do my YouTube description line breaks disappear?

YouTube sometimes collapses extra blank lines when you paste text from external apps. Our tool adds invisible characters that preserve your formatting, ensuring your spacing stays intact.

What is the character limit for YouTube descriptions?

YouTube descriptions allow up to 5,000 characters. Our tool shows a live character count so you can stay within the limit while formatting your content.

Does this tool work for YouTube comments?

Yes! This tool works for YouTube comments too. Format your comment with line breaks, copy it, and paste into the comment box. The spacing will be preserved.

Can I use line breaks in YouTube Shorts descriptions?

Yes, line breaks work in YouTube Shorts descriptions just like regular videos. Format your description, copy it, and paste into Shorts. The spacing will display correctly.

How should I structure my YouTube description?

Use line breaks to separate: hook/summary (first 2-3 lines), timestamps, links, social media, hashtags. The first 100-150 characters appear in search results, so front-load important info.

Do line breaks affect YouTube SEO?

Line breaks don't directly affect SEO, but well-formatted descriptions are easier to read, which can increase engagement. Higher engagement signals to YouTube that your content is valuable.

Can I add divider lines in YouTube descriptions?

Yes! Use dashes (---) or underscores (___) on their own line to create visual dividers. Combine with line breaks to create clear sections in longer descriptions.

Is this YouTube formatter free?

Yes, completely free with no signup required. Paste your text, copy the formatted result, and use it on YouTube.

Can I schedule YouTube videos with formatted descriptions?

Yes! PostPlanify preserves your description formatting when scheduling YouTube content. Write and format your descriptions, then schedule them to publish at optimal times.

💡 Pro Tips

Front-load important information

Only the first 100-150 characters show in search results. Put your key message, keywords, and hook in the first 2-3 lines before any line breaks.

Use timestamps with clear labels

Add timestamps (0:00 - Intro) with line breaks between each. YouTube automatically makes them clickable, improving viewer experience and watch time.

Create clear sections with dividers

Use line breaks and divider lines (---) to separate your description into sections: summary, timestamps, links, about, and hashtags.

Keep paragraphs short

Use 2-3 sentence paragraphs with line breaks between. Walls of text get ignored. Scannable descriptions get read.

Put links on their own lines

Separate important links with line breaks above and below. This makes them stand out and easier to click on mobile.

End with a clear CTA

Use line breaks to separate your call-to-action from the rest. Ask viewers to like, subscribe, or check out related content.
