How to use the hashtag generator
- Enter a topic, niche, or keyword for your post.
- Hit Generate to get a mix of broad and specific hashtags.
- Tap individual tags to copy, or use Copy all.
Hashtag strategy that actually works
- Mix sizes: combine a few big hashtags with several niche ones — niche tags are easier to rank in.
- Stay relevant: only use tags that match your content, or reach won't convert.
- Instagram: 8–15 well-chosen tags usually beat the full 30.
- TikTok: 3–5 focused tags plus one trending tag works best.
Benefits
- Suggests relevant hashtags for Instagram, TikTok and other platforms.
- Saves time versus researching tags one by one.
- Free and unlimited.
- A quick way to widen the reach of a post.
Limitations to know
- It suggests relevant tags but cannot predict which will perform for your specific audience.
- Popularity shifts constantly, so a good tag today may be crowded next month.
- It does not check a platform’s current rules on banned or limited tags.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Stuffing every post with the maximum number of tags — a focused set usually does better.
- Reusing the exact same block of tags on every post, which platforms can flag.
- Chasing only huge tags where your post is instantly buried instead of mixing in niche ones.
Alternatives
