best practices
Hashtags add context to your content. Keep them focused on the people and topics your post is for.
- 01
Start with a focused set
Use the recommended five as a starting point, then keep only the tags that describe your content.
- 02
Mix broad and specific tags
Pair general topics with niche communities and specific phrases that match what you are sharing.
- 03
Refresh your mix for each post
Keep your tags relevant to the post in front of you, rather than pasting the same list every time.
- 04
Skip unrelated trending tags
A hashtag should add context. A popular tag is only useful when it fits your content.
- 05
Keep your caption readable
Group hashtags at the end of your caption, and review every AI suggestion before posting.
A few things you might be wondering
What is an Instagram hashtag generator?
It suggests hashtags based on what you plan to post. Describe your content and get relevant tags without starting from scratch.
Is this hashtag generator free?
Yes. It is free and requires no account. You can generate up to 10 sets per hour.
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Start with a small set of relevant hashtags. Our recommended five mix one broad tag, two niche tags and two long-tail tags. Check Instagram’s current limits before posting.
Why are the hashtags split into popular, niche and long-tail?
The groups help you mix broad topics, topic communities and specific phrases. They are AI suggestions, not measured audience sizes, popularity or competition scores.
Should I put hashtags in the caption or in a comment?
Adding them at the end of your caption keeps everything together. Review Instagram’s current guidance if you prefer to use a comment.
Do hashtags guarantee more reach?
No. Relevant hashtags can add context to your post, but reach also depends on content quality, audience interest and engagement.
Can I use the same hashtags on every post?
Keep any tags that still fit, and update the rest to describe each new post. Relevance matters more than reusing a fixed list.
Does this tool work for Reels, carousels and Stories?
You can describe any of these formats to get suggestions. Mention the format for more fitting tags, and check which hashtag features Instagram currently supports for it.
Is my input stored?
This tool does not save your description or generated hashtags to our database. Your input is sent to OpenAI for content safety checks and generation, and its data policies apply. We temporarily keep an IP hash and request count in server memory for rate limiting. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
