A Better YouTube Playlist Player
YouTube's built-in playlist playback is basic: fixed order, no progress tracking, and it loses your place. A dedicated playlist player adds the controls that long playlists actually need.
What a real playlist player adds
playlist.tools plays any public YouTube playlist with extras YouTube lacks: sort by date or title (or shuffle), a clear watched/unwatched state for every video, a progress bar, and one-tap resume of the last video you watched.
It uses the official YouTube player under the hood, so playback quality, captions, and speed controls all work exactly as you expect.
Built for long playlists
Large playlists are where the default player struggles most. playlist.tools loads playlists up to 1,500 videos free (100,000 with Premium) and keeps the list searchable and sortable instead of an endless scroll.
No install required
It runs in any modern browser — paste a playlist URL and press play. If you live on YouTube, the optional Chrome extension puts the same player in a sidebar right on youtube.com.
You can do all of this free on playlist.tools — paste any playlist URL and start sorting and tracking in seconds.
