Hashtag Generator
Enter your topic and platform. Get 20 relevant hashtags split by reach tier.
Hashtags decide who sees your post before your content does. The wrong mix — all huge tags, or all dead ones — buries you. This tool generates 20 relevant hashtags for your topic and splits them by reach tier so you can balance broad discovery with realistic ranking chances.
How to use it
- Enter your Topic / niche as specifically as you can. "Sourdough baking for beginners" beats "food" — niche tags have less competition and reach people who actually care.
- Choose your Platform. Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter reward different tag behavior: Instagram likes a fuller set, TikTok favors fewer trend-aligned tags, and Twitter works best with one or two.
- Generate, then look at the tiers. You'll get a spread of large, medium, and small tags rather than 20 of the same size.
- Copy the ones that genuinely fit your post — relevance always beats volume.
Why reach tiers matter
A hashtag with 5 million posts sounds great but your content drops off the feed in seconds. A tag with 5,000 posts gives you a real shot at the "top posts" slot, which keeps you visible for days. Mixing tiers means a few big tags for ceiling, several mid tags for momentum, and small tags where you can actually rank and stay pinned.
When to use it
Use it before every post, but especially when entering a new niche, launching a product, or jumping on a trend where you don't yet know the active tags. It also helps when your reach has flatlined and you suspect your usual hashtags have gone stale.
Tips for better results
- Don't reuse the exact same set every time. Platforms can read identical tag blocks as spammy. Rotate a portion each post.
- Match tags to the caption, not just the topic. If you've written a strong caption with the Instagram Caption Generator, pull a couple of tag ideas from its keywords.
- Check that suggested tags aren't banned or restricted before posting — a quick search in the app shows whether a tag still surfaces content.
- Branded and location tags help. Add your own brand tag and a city tag manually for community and local discovery.
Common mistakes to avoid
Stuffing the maximum number of tags is not a strategy — irrelevant tags drag your relevance score down. Avoid tags that are wildly off-topic just because they're trending. And don't ignore the platform setting; a TikTok-style tag dump on Twitter looks amateur. If hashtags are part of a wider content plan, pair them with strong titles from the YouTube Title Generator for cross-platform consistency, and read up on writing better profile copy in 50 Instagram Bio Ideas.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags does it generate?⌄
It returns up to 20 relevant hashtags for your topic, grouped into reach tiers so you can mix high-, medium-, and low-competition tags.

They're relevant, commonly used tags for your niche and platform. Before posting, do a quick in-app search to confirm a tag is still active and not restricted.
Should I use all 20 hashtags?⌄
Not necessarily. Use the ones that genuinely match your post and platform — relevance matters more than hitting the maximum count, especially on Twitter where one or two is plenty.
Does the platform setting change the results?⌄
Yes. Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter each reward different tag styles and counts, so the generator adjusts its suggestions to fit the platform you select.
Is it free and is my topic stored?⌄
It's free to use, and your topic is only used to generate suggestions during your session — it isn't saved or published.
