How many hashtags should you use on TikTok?
TikTok captions are short, and the algorithm mostly looks at what your video shows and says. Hashtags help it understand the topic. Three to six well-chosen hashtags usually beat a long list. Put your most specific hashtag first.
How to use it
- Describe your video in a few words, such as easy pasta recipe or gym workout for beginners.
- Add your city if you are a local business.
- Click Generate hashtags, remove any that do not fit, and copy.
Do #fyp and #foryou work?
They are among the most used tags on TikTok, so on their own they tell the algorithm very little. Use at most one of them, and always together with specific tags about your topic. Your own niche and keyword hashtags do most of the work.
More TikTok tips
Say your main keyword out loud in the video and put it on screen as text, because TikTok reads both. Write a short caption with a hook using our caption generator, and turn your best moments into a GIF for other platforms with the video to GIF converter.
