TikTok hashtag generator
Pick your niche and type the topic of the video. You get a short set of hashtags that describe what the video is about, ready to copy and paste into TikTok or Instagram.
How many hashtags to use
Use a few that describe the video accurately. Hashtags help TikTok and Instagram understand the topic, but they do not make a video go viral on their own. A short, relevant set is easier to read and less likely to look like spam.
What about #fyp and #viral?
Tags like #fyp and #viral are on millions of videos and describe nothing about yours. There is no public evidence that they help. A topic tag such as #mealprep tells the platform far more.
Pick tags in three layers
- Topic: what this exact video is about.
- Niche: the community it belongs to.
- Format: tips, tutorial, before and after, story.
Viral IQ suggests 3 to 5 hashtags for each video you analyze, based on the video itself.
