Free Hashtag Generator
Hashtags work differently on every platform: YouTube rewards a few precise tags, Instagram lets you cast a wide net, and TikTok runs on trends. This free hashtag generator builds three labeled sets — broad reach, niche, and trending-style — tuned to the platform you pick, so you get the right count and the right mix every time.
Pick YouTube for about 5 targeted tags, Instagram for a full set of 20, or TikTok for a tight 6. Copy any set with one click, then swap in tags you’ve seen working in your own niche for best results.
Choose a platform, enter a topic, and hit Generate Hashtags.
How to use
- Select the platform you’re posting to.
- Type your topic — keep it to 1–3 words for the cleanest tags.
- Click Generate Hashtags.
- Copy the set (or sets) you want with each set’s Copy button and paste them into your caption, description, or first comment.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use per platform?
As a rule of thumb: YouTube does best with 3–5 precise tags, Instagram supports up to 30 but 15–20 well-chosen tags is the sweet spot, and TikTok performs best with 3–6. This tool matches those counts automatically.
What is the difference between the three sets?
Broad reach tags are high-traffic, general tags for discovery. Niche tags are built from your exact topic for a targeted audience. Trending-style tags mirror the formats currently popular on each platform (like #fyp on TikTok).
Can I use the generated hashtags commercially?
Yes — use them freely in your posts and videos. Hashtags themselves are not copyrightable.
Is my topic sent to a server?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type ever leaves your device.
