What works on Instagram now
The generator follows these, so what you copy works when you paste it.
- 1
Five per post
Since December 2025 Instagram allows five hashtags per post, in the caption and comments together. More are removed or block the post.
- 2
Specific beats popular
Instagram reads the post itself to understand it. Hashtags that describe it precisely help more than big generic ones.
- 3
Caption or comment
Both work the same way, and they count toward the same five.
- 4
Skip the spam tags
#instagood, #explore or #fyp say nothing about your post. The generator never suggests them.

Creators
Your niche, your format and the community you post for.

The product, the style and where people shop for it.

Instagram Hashtag Generator FAQ
Questions, answered.
How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?
Five per post or Reel since December 2025, counting the caption and comments together. The generator picks five for you to start.
Is the Instagram hashtag generator free?
Yes. You can generate tags without signing up. We only use what you type to suggest them and don’t store it.
Do hashtags still help on Instagram?
Less than before: Instagram understands posts from the image, video and caption too. A few precise hashtags still help the right people find you.
Where should I put hashtags on Instagram?
At the end of the caption or in the first comment. Both count the same, and both count toward the five.
What are niche hashtags?
Tags for the communities around a topic, like #specialtycoffee instead of #coffee. Fewer posts compete there, so yours is more likely to be seen.
