How to use the hashtag generator
- Describe the post or your business in a few words: what you sell or what the post is about.
- Pick the platform, so you get the number of tags that suits it.
- Add your city for local tags, if you serve people nearby.
- Copy one group or all of them, and paste them at the end of your caption or in the first comment.
How to choose hashtags that work
Lead with niche tags: they describe exactly what the post is about, so it isn't buried within minutes under a broad tag used millions of times. Add a few popular tags for reach and, for a local business, your city. Rotate your sets instead of pasting the same block on every post, and skip anything unrelated to the post. New to the terms? See what a hashtag is and why some are banned. Checking tags you already use? Try the banned hashtag checker, and write the caption with the AI post generator.
Common questions
Is the hashtag generator free?
Yes. It gives up to 5 sets of hashtags a day, with no signup and no card.
How many hashtags should I use?
It depends on the platform. The generator sizes each set to what reads naturally: around 20 for Instagram, 8 for TikTok and Pinterest, 5 for LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube, and 3 for X and Threads. A few relevant tags beat many broad ones.
Are these hashtags safe to use on Instagram?
Every suggestion is checked against the list of restricted hashtags Zolyp checks before it publishes to Instagram, and any match is removed (the result says how many). Instagram doesn't publish an official list, so check anything you add yourself with the banned hashtag checker.
What are niche, popular and local hashtags?
Niche tags are specific to your exact topic, so fewer posts compete for them. Popular tags are widely used and reach more people but bury posts quickly. Local tags (add your city) help people near you find you.
Does Zolyp save what I type?
No. Your topic and location are used to suggest hashtags and aren't saved to an account or shown to anyone.
