Frequently asked questions
- How does the hashtag generator work?
- We match your seed keyword against a local database of hashtag families grouped by popularity tier. No API call is made — results come from an embedded index.
- How many hashtags should I use?
- Instagram allows up to 30. Studies suggest 5–15 well-chosen hashtags outperform maxing out at 30 because the algorithm treats excessive tagging as spammy.
- Are the popularity tiers accurate?
- They reflect general volume ranges (high > 1M posts, medium 100K–1M, niche < 100K). Real-time counts change daily, so treat tiers as guidance, not gospel.
- Can I filter out branded hashtags?
- Yes — toggle the 'Branded' filter off to see only community and niche hashtags.
- Does this tool scrape Instagram?
- No. The database is a static keyword index shipped with the page. No scraping, no API calls, no login.
- Can I use the hashtags on TikTok or X?
- Absolutely. Hashtags work the same way across platforms; just adjust the count (TikTok recommends 3–5, X/Twitter works best with 1–2).
- Is there a limit on how many topics I can enter?
- You can enter one topic at a time. Run the generator again with a different seed to build up your list.
- Will the generator suggest banned or shadow-banned hashtags?
- We filter out known problematic tags, but the list isn't exhaustive. Always double-check before using a hashtag you've never seen before.
- Can I save my favourite hashtag sets?
- Not yet — for now, copy them to a note app. A 'saved sets' feature is on our roadmap.
- Is the hashtag generator free?
- Yes — free, no signup, no daily limit.
