There's no hard limit on playlist size. Our tool can handle playlists with thousands of videos. However, very large playlists (1000+ videos) may take longer to process due to YouTube API rate limits.

Make sure you're using a valid YouTube URL. It should contain 'youtube.com' and either 'playlist?list=' or 'watch?v=' with a list parameter. Copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar.
