YouTube hashtag generator

1. 1

   Describe your video

   Type the video title, topic or main keyword in the "What is your post about?" box. "Easy sourdough bread for beginners" gets better results than "bread".

2. 2

   Generate

   Click Generate YouTube Hashtags Now to get a hashtag set.

3. 3

   Pick 3–5

   Choose the ones that describe the video best. Mix one broad hashtag, one or two niche hashtags and a branded one.

4. 4

   Copy and paste

   Paste them at the end of your video description in YouTube Studio. Put the most important hashtag first.

The generator returns hashtags at different levels: broad category terms for wider reach and niche terms for a more targeted audience. A mix of both works better than only high-volume generic hashtags.

People searching for a "YouTube tags generator" and a "YouTube hashtag generator" are looking for two related but different features.

This generator writes hashtags for the description and title. Strip the # to reuse them as tags. For more on how the two work together, read our YouTube hashtags and tags guide.

In the description (recommended): add hashtags at the end of the description, after the main text, links and timestamps. YouTube turns words that start with # into links when the video is published.

In the title: a hashtag in the title shows as part of the title text. It uses some of the 100 title characters, so use title hashtags only when you target a specific hashtag community.

Format rules:

• Put # directly before the word, with no space.
• No spaces inside a hashtag. Write #CookingForBeginners, not #cooking for beginners.
• Numbers are fine. Punctuation and symbols other than # break the hashtag.
• Use only hashtags that relate to the video. Misleading hashtags break YouTube's rules.

Need the right title to go with them? Use the YouTube title generator.

Use 3 to 5 relevant hashtags per video. YouTube's own help page warns against over-tagging: if a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them, and too many hashtags can get a video removed from search.

Start from these sets, then generate your own for each video. Specific hashtags beat a fixed list on every upload.

Yes, but in a narrow way. When someone clicks a hashtag or searches for one, YouTube shows a page of videos that use it. That gives your video an extra way to be found. Hashtags also help YouTube group your video with others on the same topic.

Hashtags don't replace a strong title and description. YouTube search leans on those first, then on how viewers respond. Use hashtags to add context, not to chase trends that have nothing to do with your video. To find the words people actually search for, start with the YouTube keyword tool.
