What Is a Hashtag Generator?
A hashtag generator is a tool that creates hashtag ideas based on the subject, keywords and context of your social media content. Instead of thinking of every hashtag individually, you can enter a topic and quickly produce a list of relevant terms to review.
The Hashtag Generator can be useful for social media posts, campaigns, videos, business content, educational material and personal posts. It provides a starting point for choosing hashtags that accurately describe your content and help communicate its subject to your intended audience.
Why Use the Hashtag Generator?
Creating hashtags manually can be time-consuming, particularly when you need several variations for different pieces of content. This generator provides multiple relevant ideas in seconds while allowing you to control the topic, keywords, content type and number of results.

Generate hashtag ideas from a description of your post, video, campaign or other social media content.

Multiple Results

Quick Copying

How to Use the Hashtag Generator
Use the generator to create a starting list of relevant hashtags, then review the suggestions and select the ones that genuinely match your content.
- Enter your topic — Describe the main subject of your social media content.
- Add keywords and choose a content type — Provide specific keywords if needed and select the category that best matches your content.
- Choose the number of hashtags — Select how many suggestions you want and decide whether to include broader related hashtags.
- Generate and review the results — Generate your hashtags, copy the useful suggestions and refine your final selection before publishing.
How to Create Better Social Media Hashtags
Effective hashtags should describe the content accurately and make sense for the audience you are trying to reach. A good hashtag can be a broad description of a subject, a more specific topic, a community term, a location, a campaign phrase or a combination of relevant words.
When generating hashtags, focus on relevance rather than simply choosing the most popular terms. A hashtag that closely matches your content may provide more useful context than a very broad hashtag that has little connection to the post.
Use Specific Keywords Naturally
Start with the main subject of your content and identify the words that your target audience would reasonably associate with it. Adding specific keywords can help create more focused hashtag ideas and reduce the chance of producing generic suggestions.
Balance Broad and Niche Hashtags
A combination of broad and specific hashtags can give you different ways to describe your content. Broad hashtags may represent a larger topic, while niche hashtags can communicate a particular subject, community, activity or audience more precisely.
Hashtag Generator Tips
Always check each generated hashtag before using it. A suggestion can be technically related to your topic without being appropriate for your particular post, audience or brand. Search the hashtag on the relevant social network when appropriate to understand how it is currently being used.
Social media platforms have different hashtag practices, recommendations and limits, and these can change over time. The generator does not determine the ideal number of hashtags for every platform. Use the generated list as a source of ideas and follow the current guidance and conventions of the platform where you are publishing.
