- How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
- Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but research and Instagram's own guidance suggests using 3-5 highly relevant hashtags for optimal reach. Quality and relevance matter more than quantity.
- What is the hashtag limit on LinkedIn?
- LinkedIn has no hard limit on hashtags, but recommends using 3-5 relevant hashtags per post. Using more than 5 can make your post look spammy and may reduce engagement.
- Can I paste a full caption with text and hashtags?
- Yes. Paste any text — the tool automatically detects and counts all words starting with # as hashtags, ignoring regular text.
- Does this tool detect hashtags in different languages?
- Yes. The counter detects any word starting with the # symbol regardless of language, including hashtags in Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and other scripts.
- How many hashtags does TikTok allow?
- TikTok allows hashtags within the 4,000-character caption limit. However, hashtags count toward this character limit, so keep them concise. Using 3-5 relevant hashtags is common practice.
- Can using too many hashtags hurt my reach?
- Yes. On Instagram, using all 30 hashtags or using irrelevant/banned hashtags can trigger shadowbanning, where your posts are hidden from hashtag searches. On X/Twitter, more than 2 hashtags can decrease engagement by 17%.
- What are banned hashtags?
- Banned hashtags are tags that Instagram has restricted because they were associated with spam or content violations. Using banned hashtags can reduce your post visibility. The list changes frequently — search for updated lists before using unfamiliar tags.
- Is the hashtag counter free?
- Yes. The tool is completely free with no registration, no limits on usage, and no data collection. All counting happens in your browser.
