What is a hashtag generator?

Hashtag generator—This is an AI-based tool that generates relevant hashtags related to a particular post and social network. Just input your content idea and a little background information, and it will offer you a list of hashtags that can help you better define your social media messaging.

Our hashtag generator works in-browser and is unique since it’s made to give hashtags for every social community.

Viral mode activated.

How does this hashtag generator work?

Our hashtag maker is driven by ChatGPT, a natural language processing tool that’s designed to produce human-like responses based on a user’s prompt. We’ve already given it a built-in prompt, which you can use with your own input (the social network you plan to post to and a description of your content). Then it pulls up a short list of hashtags that are super relevant to your post, industry, and niche.

Like us humans, ChatGPT learns by reading huge amounts of varied texts from all over the internet, including millions of social media posts. That means it has an enormous library of information at its fingertips (or do robots have fingertips?) and is capable of producing thoughtful, conversational responses to just about any prompt you can imagine.

That’s what we use for the driving engine of so many of our free social media tools; for example, our hashtag, username, and caption generators all use ChatGPT behind the scenes.

How to use this hashtag generator

You know by now that hashtags are the turbo for anything you post on social media. Buckle ‘em up and see your posts leave competitors in the dust. It’s that easy, right? Not exactly. Display your items and be strategic about what you post and when. It begins with coming up with the appropriate hashtags for each post. Fortunately, our free hashtag generator can do the work for you! Here’s how to use it to find the best hashtags for your content in just a few seconds.

Step 1: Select your network

So the hashtag generator can do its magic only if it knows where your content is going to live. The first step is to choose your network in the dropdown. It will generate caption ideas by the instant for TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.

Step 2: Give your image or video a description

It is here where the magic truly begins. Give the tool some background on the type of content you intend to share. Get as descriptive as you can get, but don’t overthink it! Usually, all it takes is a few descriptive words to give the tool the information it needs.

A short description is vital to helping it understand how to classify your content—where to put it, what kind of users will appreciate it, and what other hashtags are related.

Step 3: Add your keywords

Finally, include a few keywords for context so the tool has a better idea of what you will be writing about in your post. The keywords enable the hashtag generator to scour the web for relevant clues from existing social media feeds so that it can deliver the most potent possible hashtags.

5 tips to optimize your hashtag strategy

Hashtags are a brilliant way to assist a social network in categorizing your post by topic so you can reach the right audience at the right time. They also assist with making sure that your content appears on the search or explore page. But to use them properly, you need to know the best practices (otherwise you could piss off the almighty algo—yikes) before you go hashtagging willy-nilly.

Don’t use too many hashtags

Skip the temptation of stuffing your post with hashtags. Unfortunately, excess can make clutches look trashy or alert a user’s red flags. It could also get flagged as spam or otherwise be improperly categorized by the algorithm. So how many hashtags should you use, anyway? We conducted some experiments and discovered that the following works best for most of the accounts.

Instagram: 3 to 5

Facebook: 2 to 3

Twitter: 1 to 2

TikTok: 3 to 5

LinkedIn: 1 to 5

Pinterest: 2 to 5

YouTube: 3 to 5

Be more specific and serve your niche

The focus—intentionality—is the key aspect of a well-thought-out hashtag strategy. That’s because if you are not smart in choosing hyper-relevant tags to your niche, you will end up competing with millions and millions of posts targeting the same audience.

However, if you can pick and choose hashtags that make sense for your niche on the internet and what your desired following wants to see, you’re much more likely to end up at the top of their search results or explore page.

So, for example, instead of tagging your real estate content with, plain and simple, #RealEstate or #HouseGoals, maybe tag #(YourCity)RealEstate or the style of architecture or home decor style in the post.

Remember captions and alt text as well

Your hashtags are important for helping the social network get a sense of what your post is about—and, consequently, for showing it to the appropriate audience—but they’re not the only thing that matters. You also must ensure that you’re optimizing your captions—and including alt text in your posts—so the algorithm knows precisely what your post is about. (Our social media caption generator writes the captions, so don’t worry).

Decide (and be consistent about) your preferred case style

Uppercase? Lowercase? Camel case? Well, it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re consistent across what you post. If you’re a brand or creator with a team, it can be worth adding your hashtag case preference to your social media style guide to ensure everyone who posts on your behalf is using the same style.

Camel case is recommended by the Bureau of Internet Accessibility, as it gives hashtags better readability.

Also make them brief and memorable

Finally, on every platform, it’s always best to keep your hashtags nice and short. This makes sure they’re easy for users to read and easy for you to remember so that you can continue going back to them post after post. Short hashtags are also more reading-friendly for those with dyslexia or cognitive disabilities, which means they make your posts more inclusive.
