How it works
Say what is in the video
Plain words. What you filmed, not what shelf it belongs on. That is the bit tags are meant to describe.
Take three to five
You get eight, sorted by how crowded each one is. They come best first, so start at the top and work down.
Bin anything that oversells
A tag that stretches the truth brings people who leave in two seconds, and the platform notices that.
What it is for
Why this one is worth having
Tags file your video
They tell the platform what it is looking at. Treating them as a growth lever is where most people go wrong.
Small pools beat big ones
You will not rank in #fitness. You might in #beginnerworkout. That is why the set comes sorted.
Nothing dead or banned
A stale tag costs you quietly, so anything with a moderation history around it never makes the cut.
FAQ
Hashtag generator, asked and answered
How many hashtags should I use?
Three to five. Thirty was a real tactic a few years ago, but now it mostly muddies what you are telling the platform the video is about.
Do hashtags still work?
Yes, just not the way people think. They tell the platform what your video covers, which affects who it gets shown to. They are not a growth lever on their own any more.
Where do the tags come from?
From watching what's working. We track which tags are carrying reels on each platform and which have gone stale, grade each one by how crowded it is, and drop anything dead or banned. What you get is the current best set for your video, not a wall of thirty.
Why does it give me eight?
So you have something to choose from. Use three to five. The rest are there in case one of them fits your video better than our first pick did.
Does anything I type get sent to you?
No. The tool works right there in your browser, and nothing you type leaves your machine.
