Our AI hashtag generator works as a free hashtag maker and hashtag creator for every network. It takes three steps and a few seconds, with no login and no copying tags from old posts.
Write a sentence about your post or topic, like “a behind-the-scenes video of our bakery opening at 6am.” Specific details get you specific hashtags.
Choose where you’re posting and how many hashtags you want. The generator keeps the count to what works on that platform.
Click any hashtag to copy it, then paste it into your caption. Not quite right? Tweak your description and generate again.
More hashtags don’t always mean more reach. Here’s the sweet spot for each network, and the most this hashtag generator will suggest for it.
| Platform | Sweet spot | Generator suggests | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| About 5 | Up to 10 | One broad tag, several niche ones, and skip spam like #instagood. | |
| TikTok | 3 to 5 | Up to 6 | Pair one discovery tag with two or three specific to your video. |
| About 3 | Up to 5 | Industry, role, or topic tags. Keep them professional. | |
| YouTube | About 3 | Up to 5 | The first tag shows above your title, so make it descriptive. |
| Mastodon | About 3 | Up to 5 | Use CamelCase, like #IndieDev, so screen readers can read it. |
| X (Twitter) | 1 or 2 | Up to 3 | Engagement drops past two. One topical tag and one campaign tag. |
| 1 or 2 | Up to 3 | Hashtags barely affect reach here. Keep it minimal. |
Posting mostly to one network? Our Instagram hashtag generator, TikTok hashtag generator, and X hashtag generator each go deeper on one platform.
The right hashtags put your post in front of people who care about it. The generator follows these four rules.
Huge hashtags bury your post in seconds. A mix of one broad tag and several niche ones reaches people who’ll actually engage.
Good hashtags say what the post is about, the way someone would search for it. #sourdoughbaking beats #yum every time.
Tags like #follow, #like4like, and #instagood attract bots, not customers. The generator leaves them out.
On Mastodon, CamelCase tags like #SmallBusiness help screen readers. The generator formats them for you.
Not sure what to type? Copy any of these into the box above, pick a platform, and see what comes back.
“Fresh sourdough and pastries from our family bakery in Portland, out of the oven at 7am.”
“Launching our new handmade ceramic mugs in three earthy colors, perfect for coffee lovers.”
“A 20-minute at-home workout for beginners with no equipment needed.”
“Tips for small marketing teams on planning a month of social content in one afternoon.”
“A weekend guide to hidden beaches and seafood spots on the Oregon coast.”
“Time-lapse of a watercolor landscape painting, with tips for beginners.”
Tip: the more specific your description, the better the hashtags. “Bakery” gets you generic tags. “Gluten-free sourdough bakery in Portland” gets you tags your customers search.

Yes. This free hashtag generator needs no login or sign-up, and you can generate hashtags as often as you like.
It depends on the platform. Around 5 works well on Instagram, 3 to 5 on TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and just 1 or 2 on X and Facebook. The table above shows each one, and the generator never suggests more than a platform can use well.
Because more isn’t better on every platform. The generator caps each request at what works on the platform you pick: up to 10 for Instagram and General, 6 for TikTok, 5 for LinkedIn, YouTube, and Mastodon, and 3 for X and Facebook.
It suggests relevant hashtags based on your description, mixing broad tags with niche ones. It doesn’t pull live trend data, so if you want a tag that’s trending right now, search it on the platform before you post.
It avoids hashtags that are widely known to be banned or spammy, and it leans toward specific, descriptive tags. Platforms update their restricted lists quietly, though, so search any tag you’re unsure about on the platform before you post.
It’s a social media hashtag generator for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), YouTube, Facebook, and Mastodon, plus a General option for anything else. Pick a platform from the menu and the suggestions follow that platform’s rules, like CamelCase tags on Mastodon.
This free hashtag generator gives you instant suggestions from a description of your post. The Hashtag Explorer inside Hopper HQ is a research tool for Instagram: search by topic, see how big each hashtag is, and save the sets that work.
