About the YouTube Hashtag Generator
The YouTube Hashtag Generator creates a set of relevant, high-reach hashtags for your video in seconds. Enter your topic and it returns a balanced mix of broad, high-volume hashtags and specific niche ones — the combination that actually helps YouTube surface your video to the right viewers. It works for both long-form videos and Shorts, in English, Hindi, Hinglish, and more.
Hashtags make your content easier to discover: the first few appear above your title and all of them help categorize your video. Adding 3–5 well-chosen hashtags to your description is a simple, free way to widen your reach without keyword-stuffing.

Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?
YouTube counts up to 15 hashtags, but only the first 3 show above the title. Using 3–5 highly relevant hashtags is the sweet spot; adding too many can cause YouTube to ignore all of them.
Do hashtags help YouTube videos rank?
They help discovery and categorization more than direct ranking. Relevant hashtags connect your video to topic hubs and related searches.
Where do I put hashtags?
Add them in your video description (the first few will appear above the title) or at the end of your title. Keep them relevant to the actual content.
Can it make hashtags for Shorts?
Yes. Include your topic and it will produce hashtags suitable for Shorts, including broader discovery tags.
Is the hashtag generator free?
Yes. It's free with no signup. Because it runs on AI, there's a fair-use hourly limit; sign up for higher limits and the full Meta Suite.
