YouTube Hashtag Generator FAQs

How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?

A handful of relevant ones is enough. YouTube ignores all hashtags on a video that has more than 60, so never go near that.

Where do I put hashtags on YouTube?

In the description, usually at the end, or in the title. The first three from the description appear above the title.

Is the hashtag generator free?

You sign in with Google, and new accounts get free credits. Each run uses one credit.

Do hashtags work on Shorts?

Yes. Add them to the Short's title or description the same way.

Can I use it before uploading?

Yes. Describe your video in a sentence instead of pasting a link.
