How to use hashtags the right way
The goal is a mix of reachable niche tags and a few broader ones so new people can discover your post without getting buried. A simple, reliable formula:
- 3–5 niche tags (under ~500K posts) — where you can actually rank
- 2–3 mid tags (500K–5M posts) — steady, relevant reach
- 1–2 broad tags — occasional discovery upside
Match tags to the post
Unrelated tags hurt reach because they confuse the algorithm about who should see your content. Generate a set here, then delete anything that does not describe the video or photo. For a deeper breakdown, read our Instagram & TikTok hashtag strategy guide or pair tags with a caption for a full post.
Frequently asked questions
- How many hashtags should I use?
- On Instagram, 5–15 focused tags usually beats stuffing all 30. On TikTok, 3–5 tags is plenty since the algorithm leans on sounds and watch time. Quality and relevance matter more than quantity.
- Is the hashtag generator free?
- Yes. Pick a niche, add a topic keyword, and copy your tags — no account or payment required.
- Are these hashtags guaranteed to be trending?
- The tool mixes broad, mid, and niche tags for your topic to balance reach and discoverability. Trends shift daily, so always remove any tag that does not match your actual post.
- Where do I put hashtags — caption or first comment?
- Both work on Instagram; consistency matters more than placement. Many creators put a few tags in the caption and the rest in the first comment to keep the caption clean.
- Do hashtags still work in 2026?
- Yes, mainly for search and categorization. They help new viewers find your content, but they work best combined with a strong hook and good watch time.
