Instagram Hashtag Generator

Say what your post is about and get around twenty specific hashtags, with the best five already picked, since Instagram does not accept more than that on a post.

Free, no sign-up. Up to 25 requests a day.

The topic, what people see, what you do. You can also paste your caption.

Post type

How it works

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Pick the format

    Photo, carousel or Reel, and the hashtag language.

  3. 3

    Copy your selection

    The best five are picked for you; swap them in one tap before copying.

Choosing Instagram hashtags

  • Five, not thirty

    Instagram now accepts up to 5 hashtags per post. The old lists of thirty no longer go through, so every spot counts.

  • From specific to broad

    #onlinesewingcourse says exactly what you are about; #sewing reaches the wider community. A good set mixes both.

  • Nothing that does not describe the post

    #instagood or #photooftheday are everywhere and say nothing about you: the generator leaves them out.

  • No spaces, no symbols

    Numbers work, but spaces and characters like $ or % do not, according to Instagram’s help center. Join the words: #onlinecourse.

  • A public account

    Posts from private profiles do not appear on hashtag pages: only a public account gets seen there.

  • Rotate between posts

    The generator suggests around twenty: keep some for your next posts instead of repeating the same five.

Frequently asked questions

How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?

Five at most. Instagram’s help center says you can use up to 5 hashtags on a post, and that with more your text won’t post. So the generator picks the five most useful ones and lets you swap them.

Should hashtags go in the caption or in a comment?

Both work: Instagram lets you add them in the caption or in the comments of your post. For a post that is already live, edit its caption or add a comment.

Are the suggested hashtags trending right now?

They are picked by AI from your description, without reading live Instagram data. To check, search a hashtag in Instagram and look at the posts using it before you keep it.

Why don’t my hashtags show up?

First check that the account is public: posts from private profiles do not show on hashtag pages. Also check that no hashtag contains a space or a special character, and that you did not use more than five.

Is the generator free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no credit card. To keep the tool open to everyone, each visitor gets 25 requests a day across all our text generators.

What happens to my description?

It is only used to find your hashtags. We do not keep it or link it to any account.

Can I get hashtags in French?

Yes: pick “French” as the hashtag language.
