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

- 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.
