Hashtag Generator
Generate grouped hashtag sets for Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. Mix popular, medium, and niche tiers — then copy the whole block in one click.
Type a topic above (try "home cooking", "vanlife travel", or "indie game dev") to see hashtag suggestions.
Why mix hashtag tiers
A single bucket of hashtags is the most common mistake creators make. Stack only popular tags (#love, #travel, #food) and your post is buried under millions of other posts within minutes. Stack only niche tags (#sourdoughbaking, #vanlifediaries) and your reach is technically relevant but tiny. The algorithm wants signals from multiple audience sizes, so the working heuristic is: 2 – 5 popular, 10 – 15 medium, 5 – 10 niche.
Platform-specific tips
- Instagram — hard cap of 30 hashtags across the caption and first comment combined. Adding them in the first comment keeps the caption clean; adding them in the caption gets the post indexed marginally faster. Both work.
- TikTok — the entire caption is capped at 2200 characters and includes hashtags. Most creators stay under ~100 characters of hashtags so the caption stays readable on the FYP. Two or three tags that match the spoken content of the video usually outperforms ten generic ones.
- Twitter / X — no hard cap, but 2 – 3 hashtags is the practical sweet spot. More than that visibly degrades engagement because the post reads as spam.
- LinkedIn — 3 – 5 hashtags max, all of them industry-specific. LinkedIn indexes hashtags but does not surface them on the feed the way Instagram does, so treat them as topic labels, not reach hacks.
Where the suggestions come from
The generator runs against a curated, hand-built dataset of around 25 topic categories — food, travel, fitness, fashion, beauty, tech, gaming, music, art, photography, business, marketing, lifestyle, motivation, nature, pets, family, books, education, finance, health, mental health, sports, cars, real estate. Each category is split into three tiers based on rough Instagram post volume. There is no API call, nothing leaves your browser, and the same input always produces the same output.
Trending tags shift weekly. Treat the suggestions here as a strong baseline, then add one or two tags you have spotted in your own feed in the last seven days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the hashtag generator pick tags?
It runs entirely in your browser against a curated dataset of hashtag clusters across roughly 25 categories. Your input is tokenised, matched against a keyword map, and the matching categories produce tags grouped by tier — popular, medium, and niche. If nothing matches, the tool falls back to broad lifestyle and motivation tags so you still get a usable starting point.
Why mix popular, medium, and niche hashtags?
Popular tags have huge reach but enormous competition — your post is buried in minutes. Niche tags reach far fewer people but the audience is targeted and the half-life of the post is much longer. A healthy mix (a few popular, the bulk in medium, a handful of niche) gives the algorithm signals from multiple audience sizes and tends to outperform either extreme on its own.
What are the hashtag limits per platform?
Instagram caps hashtags at 30 per post (caption plus first comment combined). TikTok counts hashtags toward the 2200-character caption limit, and most creators keep the hashtag block under 100 characters to stay readable. Twitter/X and LinkedIn have no hard cap, but adding more than 2 – 3 hashtags on Twitter or 5 on LinkedIn usually hurts reach.
Are these the most up-to-date trending hashtags?
No — the dataset is curated and stable, not live-scraped. That means it works offline, never breaks because of an API change, and is reproducible. Trending tags change weekly; for time-sensitive trends, combine the suggestions here with one or two tags you spot in your own feed.
Is anything I type sent to a server?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. The only data leaving your device is what you choose to put in the URL — your topic and platform are stored as query parameters so you can bookmark or share a specific configuration.
