SHORTS / LONG FORMAT
Checks aspect ratio and length against Shorts rules.
REUSED CONTENT RISK
Looks for unedited, commentary-free stock-style footage.
AI VOICE SIGNATURE
Our tool listens to the timing and tone of your voiceover just like a human reviewer does, flagging flat and unnatural audio instantly so you can stay safe.
// HOW IT WORKS
How to check if YouTube Shorts will be monetized?
If you make Shorts, you already know the sinking feeling of uploading a clip and waiting to see if ads even run. Drop your file here first. We check quality, reused footage, robotic TTS, and YPP-style risk in your browser so you can fix the stuff that actually gets creators dinged, before YouTube ever sees it.
02
Scan locally
We look at HD quality, Shorts length, stock-style reused footage, and whether the voiceover sounds like a real person or flat TTS.
03
Fix and upload
You’ll get a straight pass, warn, or fail, plus the exact tweaks (hooks, cuts, voice) that usually keep a Short in safer territory.
// WHAT WE CHECK
How does the AI Voice Detector work?
YouTube Shorts quality
If your clip is softer than 720p, viewers bounce and advertisers usually stay away. We flag that early so you can re-export HD instead of finding out after upload.
Reused content risk
Straight stock B-roll with no commentary is the classic reused-content trap. Faceless creators: add your take, cuts, and on-screen value before you hit publish.
AI voice signature
Our tool listens to the timing and tone of your voiceover just like a human reviewer does, flagging flat and unnatural audio instantly so you can stay safe.
Private by design
No account needed. The scan stays on your device. This is a creator-side estimate, not a YouTube or Google product, so treat it as a pre-flight check, not a promise.
// LOCAL ONLY
Is this YouTube monetization checker private?
Yes. This is a 100% private in-browser local scanner. We never upload your video to any server. Your MP4, MOV, or WEBM files stay on your device, so unreleased Shorts stay yours. Drop the file, we scan it here, you keep the original.
// TTS FIX GUIDE
How to Fix Robotic Voice & Pass YouTube Monetization (English & Hindi)
YouTube does not like a robotic voice. Use the English and Hindi guides below to fix TTS narration, add original value, and scan again before you upload.
English Guide
- YouTube can smell a default TTS track from a mile away. Flat, even, copy-paste voiceovers are how Shorts end up with limited ads.
- Got a TTS flag? Don't panic. Just tweak your script to add real human-like pauses and emotional shifts before you export it again.
- Jump on a mic if you can. If you keep an AI voice, pick a natural one and actually move the speed, pitch, and pauses around. Don't leave the factory settings.
- Music, SFX, and on-screen text are the seasoning, not the meal. You still need a hook, cuts, and a take that sounds like you.
- Faceless is fine. Teach, react, or explain. Don't just read a stock script over B-roll and hope for the best.
- Leave room to breathe. Mix the voice a little above the music so it doesn't sound like a template pack.
- Punch in with zooms, B-roll, and captions. Unedited stock plus TTS overlay is the combo that gets creators burned.
- Export 720p or higher, scan it here one more time, then upload. That extra pass saves a lot of "why didn't this monetize" mornings.
हिंदी में समाधान (Hindi Guide)
- YouTube को रोबोटिक आवाज़ पसंद नहीं है। Default TTS अक्सर सपाट और मशीन जैसी लगती है, जिससे limited ads या demonetization हो सकता है।
- अगर यह checker TTS narration को flag करे, वही फ़ाइल दोबारा upload न करें। Script ऐसे लिखें जैसे कोई इंसान बात कर रहा हो, caption नहीं पढ़ रहा।
- अपनी असली आवाज़ जोड़ें। Mic से record करें, या natural sounding AI voice चुनें और speed, pitch और pauses खुद सेट करें।
- Background music, sound effects और on-screen text मदद करते हैं, लेकिन original commentary और editing की जगह नहीं ले सकते।
- Faceless channels तब बेहतर pass करते हैं जब narration सिखाता, react करता या unique take देता है, generic stock script नहीं पढ़ता।
- सांस लेने की जगह छोड़ें और आवाज़ को music से थोड़ा ऊपर mix करें, ताकि track template जैसी न लगे।
- B-roll, zoom और captions जोड़ें ताकि वीडियो unedited stock footage plus TTS overlay न रहे।
- 720p या उससे ऊपर export करें, फिर इस free YouTube monetization checker से दोबारा scan करें, उसके बाद upload करें।
// POLICY CONTRAST
What YouTube Allows vs. What Gets You Demonetized
This is a heuristic guide modeled on public YouTube Partner Program guidance. It is not a YouTube decision. Use it to see which patterns usually stay eligible for ads, and which often lead to limited ads or no monetization.
Usually allowed
- Original commentary, reaction, or teaching on top of footage
- Natural voice or carefully mixed TTS that does not sound robotic
- 720p HD or higher, with a Shorts-ready vertical crop when needed
- Edited clips, captions, and on-screen value you created
- A unique point of view instead of a copied stock script
Higher demonetization risk
- Default robotic voice / flat TTS with no original take
- Unedited stock footage or reused content with little commentary
- Mass-produced Shorts that all share the same template and voice
- Low-quality video below 720p or stretched, blurry exports
- Inauthentic content that adds no meaningful viewer value

Example 1: High Risk (Reused Content)
Result: 1 Critical Issue (No Voice / Reused Content).
Example 2: Low Quality (Resolution)
Result: 1 Critical Issue (Below 720p HD).
// YPP 2026
Latest YouTube Partner Program (YPP) Updates - 2026
YPP rules still change. These 2026 points reflect publicly discussed Partner Program themes this checker is modeled on. Always confirm the latest policies in YouTube Studio. This site is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
- 01Original content still matters more than volume. Reused clips and unedited stock footage remain a common reason Shorts get limited ads or stay out of YPP.
- 02AI and TTS audio are not an automatic ban, but a robotic voice with no unique commentary is often treated as inauthentic or mass-produced content.
- 03Quality and authenticity checks (HD resolution, real editing, viewer value) are part of eligibility. Scan before upload so you can fix issues instead of waiting on a YouTube review.
// FAQ
What are common questions about YouTube monetization?
Is this YouTube monetization checker free?
Yes. YT Policy Shield is free to use. You do not need an account to scan a video.
Does my video get uploaded to a server?
No. The scan runs entirely in your browser. Your video file never leaves your device, so the check is private.
Can this tool guarantee YouTube will monetize my video?
No. It is a heuristic estimate based on publicly known YouTube Partner Program guidance. It is not affiliated with YouTube or Google and cannot predict their final decision.
What files can I scan?
MP4, MOV, and WEBM video files are supported, including YouTube Shorts and longer videos.
What does the AI voice detector look for?
It measures pitch, loudness, and pause patterns in narration to flag a robotic voice or synthetic TTS that can hurt original-content signals.
Can this tool detect robotic voice and TTS narration?
Yes, our AI voice detector analyzes pitch and pause patterns to flag robotic TTS voices before you upload.
What is reused content on YouTube?
Reused content is footage that adds little original commentary, editing, or storytelling, such as unedited stock clips. YouTube may limit monetization on that kind of video.
Will my YouTube Shorts be monetized?
This free YouTube Shorts monetization checker estimates risk from quality, reused content, AI voice, and inauthentic content before you upload. It cannot guarantee YouTube Partner Program (YPP) eligibility, but it flags common reasons Shorts get limited ads or stay unmonetized.
Can I check YouTube YPP eligibility and limited ads risk for free?
Yes. Scan locally with no login. The YouTube YPP eligibility checker looks at resolution, Shorts format, reused stock footage, and robotic TTS narration that often lead to limited ads or demonetization.
Does this work for faceless YouTube channels and AI TTS videos?
Yes. Faceless YouTube channel creators can run the AI voice detector and reused content checker on TTS narration and stock footage before upload, so mass-produced or inauthentic content patterns are easier to fix.
How do I check if my YouTube Short will be monetized before I upload?
Drop an MP4, MOV, or WEBM into YT Policy Shield. The local scan flags low resolution, Shorts format issues, reused stock footage, and robotic TTS so you can fix the clip before YouTube sees it.
Is AI voice or robotic TTS allowed on YouTube Shorts?
AI voice is not an automatic ban. A flat robotic TTS track with no original commentary is often treated as inauthentic or mass-produced content and can lead to limited ads. Add a human take, pauses, and editing, then scan again.
Why do faceless YouTube channels get limited ads?
Common reasons are unedited reused B-roll, default TTS narration, low resolution, and videos that add little original value. This checker flags those patterns before upload. It cannot guarantee YouTube Partner Program eligibility.
