What works on YouTube
The generator follows these, so what you copy works when you paste it.
- 1
The first three show
The first three hashtags in your description appear above the title as links. Put the best ones first.
- 2
15 at most
With more than 15 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them. The generator never lets you pick more.
- 3
Description or title
Hashtags go at the end of the description, or in the title for Shorts. Keep the title readable.
- 4
Describe, don’t bait
Tags must relate to the video. Misleading ones break YouTube’s rules.

YouTube Hashtag Generator FAQ
Questions, answered.
How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?
Three to five usually. The first three show above your title, and more than 15 make YouTube ignore them all.
Is the YouTube 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.
Where do I put hashtags on YouTube?
At the end of the video description. For Shorts, the title works too.
Are hashtags the same as YouTube tags?
No. Tags are keywords you add in YouTube Studio that viewers don’t see. Hashtags are clickable and show on the video.
Should I add #shorts?
It can help YouTube know it’s a Short, but it isn’t required: vertical videos under three minutes are treated as Shorts anyway.
