How it works

Four steps, about a minute

  1. 1
    Describe the post

    A few words is enough: "sourdough bread", "Bali sunset", "leg day".

  2. 2
    Pick a niche

    This pulls in community tags people in that space already follow.

  3. 3
    Drop what doesn't fit

    Tap a tag to cross it out. The honey ring shows how close you are to Instagram's limit of 5.

  4. 4
    Copy and post

    Paste into your caption. Instagram counts up to 5 per post or Reel.

The mix

Why three groups?

Big tags like #foodie get millions of posts a day, so yours scrolls away in seconds. Small community tags have fewer posts but people actually browse them. A good set uses mostly niche and specific tags plus a few broad ones.

We build the specific tags from your own words and pull the rest from a reviewed list for each niche. We don't read live Instagram data, so we don't show tag popularity.

#
SpecificFrom your words, like #sourdoughbread. Describes this exact post.
#
NicheCommunity tags, like #homebaking. Smaller, more engaged audiences.
#
BroadBig general tags, like #foodie. Huge reach, heavy competition.

Common questions

Tap a question and we'll answer it in the chat. You can also type your own.

How many hashtags should I use?

Up to 5. Instagram lowered its limit from 30 to 5 hashtags per post or Reel, so pick the 3 to 5 that describe the post best. Your caption keywords matter just as much.

Will these tags get me more views?

No tool can promise that. Relevant tags help Instagram place your post in search and topic feeds. Reach still depends on the content, timing and your audience.

Caption or first comment?

Put them in the caption. With only 5 allowed, they sit neatly at the end, and Instagram reads the caption to understand your post.

Where do the tags come from?

Specific tags are built from your own words. Niche and broad tags come from a list we review for each niche. We don't read live Instagram data, so we don't show tag popularity.

Do you save what I type?

No. The tool runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
