Enter your video topic and pick the closest niche to generate a ready-to-paste set of hashtags for your title, description, or Shorts.

Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use?+
YouTube recommends using a maximum of 15 hashtags in your description — more than that and YouTube may ignore all of them. The first 3 also appear above your video title, so make those count.
Do hashtags actually help YouTube SEO?+
They help viewers browsing a specific hashtag find your video, and give YouTube a small extra topical signal — but strong titles, descriptions, and watch time matter far more for ranking.
