Hashtags that describe the post
Hashtags tell a network what your post is about. TikTok says it uses them when it decides who sees a video, and Instagram now allows 5 per post. So the few you pick have to fit.
Describe the post, pick Instagram or TikTok, and you get 25 suggestions. Tap the ones that match to copy them one at a time.

How to pick from the list
- Start with tags that describe the post itself, like the dish or the place. They match what people search for.
- Add one or two for the community you’re part of, like a niche or a city.
- Skip tags that fit every post, like “love” or “instagood”. They say nothing about yours.
- On TikTok, hashtags count toward the caption, so each one eats into the space for your words.
- Save the tags you didn’t use for your next post on the same topic.

Questions people ask
Is the hashtag generator free?
Yes. No account, no card. You get 10 generations a day across our free AI tools, and each one returns 25 hashtags.
How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?
Five. Instagram cut the limit from 30 to 5 on December 18, 2025, and its Help Center says a comment with more than 5 won’t post. Pick the 5 that describe the post best.
How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?
TikTok doesn’t publish a limit. Hashtags count toward your caption, so a few specific ones leave more room for your words.
Why 25 suggestions if Instagram only takes 5?
So you can choose. Keep the tags that fit this post and save the rest for the next one on the same topic.
Do hashtags still matter?
They help a network understand what a post is about, and TikTok lists them among the signals it uses to recommend videos. They won’t rescue a weak post, though. The content does most of the work.
