Hashtag Generator for Instagram, TikTok & YouTube
Describe your post in a few words and pick a topic. The generator builds specific hashtags from your words, adds curated tags for 20 topics and pre-selects the right number for each platform – 5 for Instagram, which now caps posts and reels at five hashtags. Tap tags to swap them, then copy. Everything runs in your browser.
How to use
How many hashtags should you use?
- Instagram: up to 5 hashtags on a post or reel. Instagram announced the cap in December 2025 and says fewer, targeted tags work better than generic ones such as #reels or #explore.
- TikTok: 3–5 relevant hashtags is a common choice.
- YouTube: the first 3 hashtags appear above the title; if a video has more than 60, YouTube ignores all of them.
- X: 1–2 hashtags per post.
Choosing good hashtags
- Describe what the post actually shows – the tool turns your words into specific tags like #parisstreetfood.
- Prefer niche and local tags over very broad ones. Tags marked “generic” are never pre-selected.
- Add your own brand tag so people can find all your posts.
- Change the set for each post instead of pasting the same list every time.
The topic lists are hand-picked and run entirely in your browser. There is no live trending data.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?
Up to 5 per post or reel. Instagram started rolling out the 5-hashtag cap in December 2025; earlier the limit was 30.
Are these trending hashtags?
No. They are curated tags for each topic plus tags built from your own description, not live trend data.
What does “generic” mean?
Very broad tags like #viral or #explore. Instagram says they do not help content reach Explore, so the tool does not pre-select them.
Is anything saved?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
