Type your topic and get a relevant hashtag set, sized for the platform you’re posting to — Instagram’s new max of five, three to five for TikTok, a single tag for Threads. Generated from what you write, not scraped from anyone’s trending data.
Platform
Instagram: Capped at 5 (down from 30) — make each one count.
Strategy
Generated by AI from the topic you type — tuned to Instagram, not scraped from anyone’s trending data.
Relevant beats trending
Most hashtag tools sell “trending” tags — scraped, real-time lists of what’s hot. Two problems: that data is pulled from places the tools aren’t authorised to scrape, and it’s stale within days. What actually moves a post is relevance— tags that match your content and the audience pool you want, which is what the algorithm reads them as a signal for. This generator works from your topic and the platform’s own hashtag norms, so you get a set that keeps working. Hashtags count toward your caption length too — check the total in our character counter before you post. For the strategy behind the set — how many tags each platform rewards now and how to choose them — see our guide to using hashtags.
How it works
How to generate hashtags
Topic to a copy-ready set, in four steps:
1
Describe your topic
Type what the post is about — a recipe, a product launch, a tutorial. The more specific, the better the tags.
2
Pick the platform
Each platform has its own hashtag culture, so the set is tuned to the one you choose — from Instagram's dozen to Threads' single tag.
3
Choose a strategy
Mixed balances broad and niche; broad reaches a bigger pool; niche targets a smaller, more relevant one.
4
Generate and copy
An AI writes a relevant set for your topic. Copy the whole block into your caption or description.
How many hashtags per platform
The same block doesn’t work everywhere. What each platform actually rewards:
Platform
Sweet spot
The norm
Instagram
~5 tags
Capped at 5 (down from 30) — make each one count
TikTok
~5 tags
3–5 specific, content-matched tags
X (Twitter)
~2 tags
1–2 only — more reads as spam
LinkedIn
~4 tags
3–5 professional, followable tags
YouTube
~5 tags
3–6 in the description; first 3 show above the title
Facebook
~3 tags
2–4 — mostly for branding, not reach
Threads
~1 tags
Exactly one topic tag per post
A hashtag generator for every platform
Each network treats hashtags differently, so the generator sizes and shapes the set to the one you pick:
Instagram hashtag generator
Instagram now hard-caps posts and Reels at five hashtags, so it returns up to five precise tags — a couple of broad community tags plus a few niche ones — instead of the old thirty-tag block. The same set works for Reels.
TikTok hashtag generator
TikTok rewards three to five content-matched tags, and the first one carries the most weight for how the For You feed files the video — so it leads with one broad tag and pairs it with niche ones tied to the exact topic.
YouTube hashtag generator
YouTube shows the first three hashtags above the video title, so order matters. It returns three to six tags with the broad topic first, written for the description — and it works for Shorts too.
LinkedIn & X (Twitter) hashtag generator
LinkedIn rewards three to five professional, followable tags people actually subscribe to; X wants just one or two before more reads as spam. The generator respects both ceilings rather than padding the set.
Threads & Facebook hashtag generator
Threads attaches a single topic tag per post, so it returns exactly one; Facebook hashtags do little for reach, so it keeps to two to four for branding and search rather than a wall of them.
Frequently asked questions
Are these trending hashtags?
No — and that's deliberate. This doesn't scrape live trending or post-count data from any platform (which goes stale within days and means pulling data from places you're not authorised to). Instead it generates tags that are genuinely relevant to your topic and tuned to the platform's hashtag norms — the stable community and niche tags that actually keep working. For a truly current viral tag, add one yourself from the platform's own explore tab.
How many hashtags should I use?
It depends entirely on the platform, which is why the set is sized per platform. Instagram now hard-caps posts and Reels at 5 hashtags (down from 30 — the change rolled out in late 2025, and extra tags are blocked or stripped); TikTok wants 3–5 content-matched tags with the first one mattering most; X is 1–2 before it reads as spam; LinkedIn is 3–5 professional, followable tags; YouTube shows the first three above the title; Threads attaches a single tag. Dumping the same big block everywhere is the old habit that no longer works.
Can it generate Instagram hashtags?
Yes — pick Instagram and it returns up to five relevant tags, which is Instagram's current hard cap for posts and Reels (down from 30). It's a relevance-first Instagram hashtag generator and Reels hashtag generator, not a 'best hashtags' list: rather than scraping a stale top-50 that everyone else is also pasting, it writes tags genuinely matched to your topic, which is what the algorithm actually reads as a signal.
Does it work as a TikTok or YouTube hashtag generator?
Yes. For TikTok it returns three to five content-matched tags with the most important first, the way the For You feed weights them; for YouTube it returns three to six for the description, knowing the first three show above the title (and it works for Shorts). LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Threads each get their own count and style too — one tool, every platform's hashtag norms.
Will these get me shadowbanned?
Two things cause hashtag trouble on Instagram and TikTok: using restricted or spammy tags, and posting the exact same big block on every single post. The generator steers away from obviously spammy tags, but the bigger safeguard is on you — generate a fresh set every few posts instead of reusing one block forever, and keep the count sensible for the platform.
Is my topic sent anywhere?
Yes — to write the tags, the topic you type is sent to our AI generator (it's the one server step). No account, nothing stored, and it's only the short topic line, never a file or a scraped page. If you'd rather not, you can always hand-pick tags instead; the tool is just a faster way to get a relevant starting set.
Should I use a different set on each platform?
Yes. The same post going to Instagram, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn wants four different hashtag strategies, not one block copy-pasted everywhere — different counts, different cultures, different tags. Generate a set per platform from the same topic; it's the hashtag side of repurposing one idea into native posts.
Can I generate hashtags in another language?
Yes — describe your topic in that language and the tags come back in it. Hashtag communities are language-specific, so a German cooking post wants German cooking tags, not translated English ones.
