Hashtag Generator

This hashtag generator suggests hashtags from a few topic words, then lets you pick, shape and copy them into your caption. Type words like vegan recipes or ahmedabad cafe, choose a platform, and the tool groups tags into your own words, niche tags, local and seasonal tags, and broad tags. It works from a built-in list of 95 topics, including Indian cities and festivals such as Diwali and Navratri. Add your brand tags so they always come first, block tags you never want, and choose how many to pick, or press Random mix for a fresh set. Copy them with spaces, new lines or commas, with or without #, and with dot lines to push them below the caption. It does not read live trends or use AI, and it says so when your words match no topic.

Instagram allows up to 5 hashtags on a post or reel.

Brand or campaign tags, always picked first

Tags to leave out, separated by commas

Suggestions come from a fixed topic list, not live trend data. Search a tag inside the app before relying on it.

How to use

Pick, format and copy

Click tags to add or remove them. Choose spaces, new lines or commas, whether to include # and lowercase, and whether to add dot lines above. Then press Copy selected, or Copy all.

Why Hashtag Generator

How many hashtags to use on each platform

These are the counts the tool picks, alongside the limits the platforms themselves state. Platforms change these rules from time to time, so if a post will not publish, check the app's current limit.

Across every platform, fewer and more relevant tags beat a long list. A tag that does not describe the post brings the wrong viewers, who scroll past quickly.

PlatformTool picksWhat to know
Instagram5Posts and reels are limited to 5 hashtags.
TikTok5No fixed count, but tags use up caption characters.
YouTube3The first 3 can show above the title. Over 60 and YouTube ignores all hashtags on the video.
LinkedIn3No hard limit. Three to five focused tags is common.
X (Twitter)2Posts are short, so one or two tags is enough.
Facebook3Hashtags play a small role in reach.

Broad, niche, local and branded hashtags

A good set mixes a few kinds of tag. The tool labels its suggestions the same way, so you can pick one or two from each group.

  • Broad tags such as #food or #travel are huge, and a new post is buried in minutes. Use one at most.
  • Niche tags such as #veganrecipes or #homeworkout are smaller, and people follow them for a specific interest. Most of your tags should be niche.
  • Local tags such as #ahmedabad or #mumbaifood reach people near you, which matters for shops, cafes, salons and events.
  • Seasonal tags such as #happydiwali or #navratrispecial work only around the festival, so save them for those weeks.
  • Branded tags are your own, such as a shop name or campaign. Add them under Your own tags and they lead every set.

Common questions

How does the hashtag generator choose what to suggest?
It uses fixed rules, not machine learning. Your words are split up, each one becomes a tag, and words that match a topic's trigger list, including simple plurals and two-word phrases like real estate, bring in that topic's curated tags. The same input always gives the same suggestions, and Random mix only changes which of them are picked.
Which topics does the hashtag generator know?
About 95, covering areas like food, travel, fitness, fashion, beauty, business, marketing, tech, education, pets, weddings, gaming, anime, podcasts, crypto, construction and healthcare, plus Indian cities such as Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Bengaluru and festivals such as Diwali, Holi and Navratri. Words outside those topics still become tags, but get no related suggestions.
How many hashtags should I use on an Instagram post?
Instagram now limits posts and reels to 5 hashtags, so choose your five most relevant. The tool picks five for Instagram and warns if you select more. One or two niche tags plus a local or broad one usually fits better than five broad tags.
Do hashtags still work on Instagram and TikTok?
They help people and the app understand what a post is about, but they matter less than they once did. Both apps lean heavily on the caption, on-screen text, audio and viewer behaviour to decide who sees a post. A few accurate tags still help; a long list of unrelated ones does not.
Where should I put hashtags, in the caption or the first comment?
Put them in the caption, where they are part of the post from the moment it goes live. Tick Add dot lines above to place them a few lines below your text so the caption stays clean. On YouTube, add hashtags to the title or description.
What are banned hashtags, and how do I avoid them?
Platforms hide or restrict some tags, usually because they attracted spam or content that breaks the rules. There is no official public list, so tap a tag in the app before using it. If one causes trouble, add it to Never suggest and the tool will leave it out from then on.
Should I use the same hashtags on every post?
No. An identical block on every post looks automated and rarely fits each post's topic. Keep your brand tag in Your own tags, and let the rest change with each post's words, or press Random mix for variety within the same topic.
Why did the hashtag tool only turn my own words into tags?
None of your words matched a built-in topic, so there was nothing to expand. Add a broader word such as food, travel, fitness or a city name next to your niche word. Your own niche tags are still worth using, since smaller tags face less competition.
Does the hashtag tool show how popular each tag is?
No. It has no live data, so it cannot show post counts or trends. The niche and broad labels describe how specific a tag is, not measured numbers. Search a tag inside the app to see how many posts use it.
