Thirty of the biggest hashtags don’t help — your post drowns in seconds. A good set mixes reach tiers: a few broad tags for impressions, more medium tags where you can actually rank, and niche tags that describe exactly what the post is about. This generator builds that mix from curated lists for each niche (updated for 2026), adds your own keywords, and lets you copy the set with one tap.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram in 2026?
Instagram itself recommends 3–5 relevant hashtags; tests still show 8–15 working well for small accounts. The maximum is 30. Quality and relevance matter far more than quantity.
Do hashtags still work on Instagram?
Less than they used to — recommendations now depend mostly on the content and engagement — but they still help Instagram classify a post and appear in search. Treat them as keywords, not as a growth hack.
Hashtags in the caption or in the first comment?
Either works for reach. The caption keeps them visible (better for search); the first comment keeps the caption clean. Pick one and stay consistent.
Are banned or spammy hashtags in these lists?
No. The lists are curated by hand and exclude tags known to be restricted or associated with engagement pods and follow-for-follow schemes.
Should TikTok hashtags be different?
TikTok favours 3–6 tags that describe the content and one or two niche-community tags; broad #fyp-style tags add nothing. The TikTok setting here trims the set accordingly.
