Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Instagram allows up to 30, but a focused set of 8 to 15 highly relevant tags usually performs best. Mix a few large hashtags with several niche ones so smaller posts still rank.
Do hashtags still work in 2026?
Yes, but as topic signals more than reach hacks. Relevant hashtags help Instagram categorize your content and surface it to interested viewers in search and Explore.
Should I put hashtags in the caption or comments?
Both work. Putting them in the first comment keeps captions clean, while in-caption tags are indexed the same way. Pick whichever looks better for your brand.
How the Hashtag Generator works
How it works
You give it a topic, it returns a spread of hashtags across three sizes: a few big ones (millions of posts) for reach, several mid-size ones (100k–1M) where you can actually rank, and specific niche tags (under 100k) where a small account still shows up. That mix is what gets a post seen beyond your followers.
How to actually use them
Do not paste all 30 every time. Pick 8–15 that match the exact post. Rotate them. Drop the huge tags on smaller accounts (you drown instantly) and lean on the niche ones. Put them in the first comment if you want a cleaner caption. Same result either way.
