Hashtag Generator

Find the right mix of hashtags to boost discovery on your posts — free, instant, organized by reach.

Introduction

Picking hashtags by guesswork usually means either drowning in a sea of #love and #instagood, or under-tagging and getting no reach at all. This tool builds a balanced set for your niche in seconds, split into three reach tiers so you can see exactly what you're adding and why.

Pick a niche, an optional topic keyword, your post type and how aggressive you want the mix — the tool returns a ready-to-copy set, plus each tag individually clickable to copy on its own.

How the Tool Works

Each niche maps to a curated set of hashtags split into High Reach (broad, high-competition tags), Medium Reach (more specific, still substantial audiences) and Niche (smaller, highly targeted communities). Your topic keyword and post type add extra tags on top of the base set, and the Popularity Mix setting trims or expands each tier accordingly.

Generate Your Hashtags

Tips

  • Rotate your hashtag sets between posts rather than reusing the exact same 30 tags every time.
  • Put your most relevant, specific tags first — some placements weight early tags more heavily.
  • Skip banned or flagged hashtags (shadowbanned tags won't help you, and can occasionally suppress reach).
  • Pair a broad tag or two with several niche tags rather than going all-in on either extreme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using only high-volume hashtags means your post competes against millions of others and disappears fast. Mixing in mid-reach and niche tags gives your post a realistic chance of surfacing to a smaller, more relevant audience where it can gain early traction.
