Pro Tips

  • These are suggestions generated from your topic and common naming conventions, not live trending data - always sanity-check them against what's actually working in your niche
  • YouTube only displays the first 3 hashtags used above your video title, though additional ones in the description can still aid search
  • Using too many unrelated hashtags can look spammy and may work against you - a focused, relevant handful usually performs better than a long generic list
  • Check the shorts option if you're tagging a Shorts video specifically

Most Popular

Most users generate a batch and pick the 3-5 most relevant ones to actually use, rather than including all of them

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these hashtags based on real trending data?

No, they're generated from your topic combined with common naming patterns and conventions - not live YouTube trending or search volume data, since that would require the YouTube Data API.

How many hashtags should I actually use?

YouTube only displays the first 3 hashtags above your video title. Additional ones can still be included in the description, but a large number of generic, unrelated tags can look spammy.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Hashtags are generated entirely in your browser.

Should I use different hashtags for every video?

It's often effective to use a mix - a few consistent ones related to your channel's niche plus a few specific to that particular video's topic.

Do hashtags affect the YouTube algorithm directly?

They primarily aid discoverability through hashtag search and browsing rather than being a major ranking signal on their own - relevant, accurate tags matter more than a large quantity of them.
