Describe your video in a few words and the generator builds hashtags from your own keywords: the full topic, single keywords, two-word combinations and common modifiers like Tips or Tutorial. Select the ones that fit and copy them.
How to use the hashtag generator
- 1Describe your video topic in a few words.
- 2Toggle Shorts if it's a Short.
- 3Click hashtags to select them, then copy.
How it works
The generator removes filler words, normalises your keywords and combines them with common search modifiers. It's rule-based and runs in your browser — it doesn't invent trending tags or claim popularity data it doesn't have.
If a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them, so the tool warns you as you approach that limit.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use?
Three to five relevant hashtags is a good default. The first three in your description show above the title.
Do I need #Shorts on a Short?
It's not required — YouTube identifies Shorts by format — but it doesn't hurt and can help with discovery on the hashtag page.
