What this does

This YouTube hashtag generator takes a topic and returns 12 hashtags on one line, space separated and ordered from specific to broad. We name the first three separately, because those are the ones to put first in your description. It writes hashtags only, not a title.

YouTube shows up to three hashtags by a video's title, chosen from the ones in the description. Its help page says it picks the three it considers most engaging, so treat our order as a nudge, not a guarantee. A hashtag cannot contain spaces, so words are joined, like #NightPhotography. A video with more than 60 hashtags has all of them ignored.

Every run ends with one honest line: hashtags are a weak signal next to the title and thumbnail. A run costs 8 credits and a new account starts with 50, enough for six runs.

Use cases

  2. 02See specific and broad phrasing for the same topic at once.
  3. 03Check a set before you copy it into the description box.
  4. 04Get hashtags for a Short from its topic, then paste them into the title or description.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is the YouTube hashtag generator free?

Free to try, with an account. Each run costs 8 credits and a new account starts with 50, enough for six runs. More credits come with a plan or a top-up pack.

How many hashtags can I use on a YouTube video?

YouTube displays up to three by the title. The hard limit is 60: its help page says a video with more than 60 hashtags has every hashtag ignored, and warns that over-tagging can lead to a video being removed.

Do hashtags go in the title or the description?

Either. YouTube's help page says you can add them to the title and the description, and that the three shown by the title are picked from the description. Paste the line at the end of the description and the title stays readable.

Do more hashtags help more?

No. YouTube's own help page says the more tags you add, the less relevant each one becomes. Pick the few that fit the video from the twelve we give you.

Is this the same as the Hashtag Extractor?

No. The extractor reads hashtags already on a published video. This one writes new ones from a topic you type and never reads a video link.
