Frequently Asked Questions
01How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?
YouTube recommends using no more than 15 hashtags per video. If you use more than 60, YouTube may ignore all of them. For most videos, 3–8 focused, relevant hashtags perform best — enough to signal topic relevance without looking spammy.
02Where should I put hashtags in a YouTube video?
Add hashtags to the bottom of your video description. YouTube will automatically display the first 3 hashtags above your video title in the watch page. You can also add 1–2 in the title itself for Shorts.
03Do YouTube hashtags help with views?
Hashtags help viewers discover your video when they click on or search a hashtag. They're more impactful for Shorts and trending topics than for evergreen search-focused content where title and tags matter more.
04What's the difference between YouTube tags and hashtags?
YouTube tags are hidden metadata that help the algorithm understand your video's topic. Hashtags are clickable labels shown publicly in your description and title. Both serve different SEO purposes and should be used together.
05Can I use trending hashtags on YouTube even if they don't exactly match my video?
Only if the hashtag is genuinely relevant to your video. Using completely unrelated trending hashtags is against YouTube's spam policy and can result in your video being removed from search.
06Are these hashtags free to use?
Yes. All YouTube hashtags generated by this tool are completely free. No account, subscription, or credit card is required.
