YouTube Cards Planner
Plan the timing and placement of info cards throughout your YouTube video.
The YouTube Cards Planner helps you determine the optimal timing for placing info cards throughout your video. Info cards are small notifications that appear in the top-right corner of your video, linking viewers to related content, playlists, or external sites.
Strategic card placement keeps viewers engaged and drives traffic to your other content. Cards placed too early may be ignored, while cards bunched together can feel spammy. This tool distributes your cards evenly throughout the video.
The planner avoids placing cards in the first 30 seconds (when viewers are settling in) and the last 20 seconds (where end screens take over). It provides a clean timeline showing exactly when each card should appear.
