YouTube Playlist Duration Calculator
Paste video durations to get the total runtime — and how long it takes at 1.25×–2× speed.
Find a Playlist's Total Runtime — and at Faster Speeds
Overview
Before committing to a course playlist or a long series, it helps to know exactly how much time it'll take. This calculator adds up video durations to give the total runtime of a playlist, and it also shows how long it takes at faster playback speeds like 1.25×, 1.5×, or 2×. That makes it easy to plan study sessions, fit a series into your schedule, or decide whether to speed things up.
How to Use (Step by Step)
- 1
Enter the video durations
Paste or type the list of video lengths from the playlist you want to measure.
- 2
Get the total runtime
See the combined length in hours and minutes instantly.
- 3
Check faster-speed times
Review how long the playlist takes at 1.25×–2× so you can plan your viewing.
How It Works
You provide the video durations (or a playlist's list of times), and the tool sums them into a total runtime in hours and minutes. It then divides that total by common playback multipliers to show the effective time at 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75×, and 2× speed — since watching faster proportionally shortens the time you'll spend. The math runs in your browser, so it's instant and private.
When to Use This
Planning how long an online course or tutorial series will take. Deciding whether you can finish a playlist before a deadline. Estimating time saved by watching lectures at higher speed. Budgeting study or commute time around video content. Comparing the length of several playlists before choosing one. Setting realistic daily goals to get through a long series.
