How does the Instagram Hashtag Generator work?
Using the Instagram Hashtag Generator is simple. Just follow these steps:
Enter Your Topic
Type in your post's topic or keywords into the input field at the top (for example, "travel photography" or "vegan recipes").
Select the Number of Hashtags
Choose how many hashtags you want (between 5 and 30) from the dropdown menu labeled "Number of hashtags." The default is 30, but you can select any number up to 30.
Generate Hashtags
Click the "Generate Instagram Hashtags" button. The tool will then send a request to OpenAI's ChatGPT API (using the GPT-4 model with a moderate creativity setting) to generate your hashtags.
Get Your Hashtags
In a moment, your hashtags will appear in the output box labeled "Your generated hashtags." They will be presented in a single line, separated by spaces.
Copy and Use
Click the "Copy" button to copy the entire line of hashtags to your clipboard. You can then paste these hashtags into your Instagram post caption or in the first comment of your post.
Behind the scenes:
The generator uses a carefully crafted prompt to ensure accurate results. For example, if your post is about travel photography and you requested 10 hashtags, the tool sends a prompt to the AI like:
This means the AI will return a clean line of hashtags, such as:
There's no extra wording or numbering, just the hashtags ready to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post, but the optimal number can vary. Research suggests using between 5-30 hashtags, with many experts recommending around 11-15 well-chosen hashtags. Our generator lets you create up to 30 hashtags, but you don't need to use them all. Focus on relevance rather than quantity.
Should I put hashtags in the caption or comments?
Both methods can be effective. Adding hashtags in your caption makes them immediately visible, while putting them in the first comment keeps your caption cleaner. Instagram's algorithm treats both the same way. Our generator provides hashtags in a format that works for either approach, just copy and paste them where you prefer.
