How hashtags work on YouTube
YouTube displays up to 3 hashtags below the video title and uses hashtags for content categorization. The right hashtags can add your video to hashtag feed pages, increasing discoverability.
How to use the Hashtag Generator
1. Enter your video topic and 2–3 seed keywords
2. The tool generates 15–20 hashtag suggestions, ranked by search volume
3. Select the most relevant 5–8 to add to your description
4. The first 3 hashtags in your description appear below your title — make them count
Don't use generic hashtags like #youtube or #viral — they're too competitive. Use niche-specific hashtags where your video can actually rank.
