YouTube Hashtag Generator

Relevant hashtags from what your video is about, plus popular ones for your niche.

Runs in your browserNo sign-up required

Separate different topics with commas. The most specific tags come from these words.

Style

Capitalising each word makes hashtags easier to read and lets screen readers say them correctly.

Tap suggestions above to build your list.

Paste them into your video description. YouTube shows up to three of your description hashtags — the ones it finds most engaging — next to the title, and every hashtag links to a page of related videos. Only use hashtags that match your video: YouTube can remove misleading ones.

Curated, Not Guessed

Rather than an AI guessing plausible-sounding hashtags, this tool pulls from a maintained, hand-built list per niche — the same structured approach used across this site's QR code tools. Add one custom topic on top for whatever's specific to your video, and it flags the one rule most creators don't know: only 3 hashtags actually display above your title.

Good to Know

  • YouTube reads hashtags in both the title and the description. From your description hashtags, it shows up to three it finds most engaging next to the video title.
  • If a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them — and over-tagging can get a video removed from search.
  • Only use hashtags that match the video. YouTube can remove videos with misleading or unrelated hashtags.
  • Hashtags can't contain spaces, so words are joined: #SourdoughBread. Capitalising each word makes them easier to read and helps screen readers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hashtags should I use?

A handful of closely related ones usually works best. YouTube shows up to three next to your title and ignores every hashtag on a video that has more than 60, so a short, relevant list beats a long one.

Which hashtags show above my YouTube title?

Up to three of the hashtags in your description — YouTube picks the ones it considers most engaging. Put your most important hashtags in the description.

Do hashtags help my video get found?

They help a little: each hashtag links to a page of videos using it, so viewers browsing that topic can find yours. They complement a good title, description and thumbnail rather than replacing them.

Can I use the same hashtags on every video?

You can, but hashtags matched to each video's own topic do more for it — that's why this tool builds the most specific ones from what you type.
