YouTube may show up to 3 hashtags above the title, choosing the ones it considers most engaging. The first three here are marked “Shown above title”: put them first, though YouTube may pick others. Tap a hashtag to copy it; × removes it and the next one slides in.
How the hashtags are chosen
Fixed rules in your browser, no trend data. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
- 1. Your topic
- The first words of your topic joined into one hashtag, each topic word, and your extra phrases (each phrase becomes one hashtag).
- 2. Variations
- “…tips” and “learn…” for English words, plus one hashtag with this year.
- 3. YouTube basics
- General YouTube hashtags, Shorts hashtags unless you pick Long-form, and a few for a search or brand goal.
- The order
- Group 1 always comes before group 2, and group 2 before group 3. Within a group the order is shuffled, so Generate again gives a fresh mix.
Hashtags and tags are different fields: make tags with the YouTube Tag Generator. Cross-posting? Try the Instagram Hashtag Generator.
Questions
How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?
A handful of relevant ones is plenty. YouTube shows up to three hashtags above your title, and it may ignore every hashtag on a video that uses more than 60. A focused 10 to 15 that describe the video beat a long list of loosely related tags.
Where do YouTube hashtags appear?
Hashtags you write in the description are clickable, and YouTube may show up to three of them above your title: the ones it considers most engaging, not necessarily the first three. The first three in your list are marked “Shown above title” as the ones to put first; YouTube still makes the final choice.
Can I make hashtags in Urdu, Arabic or another language?
Yes. Letters from any script are kept, so a topic like بریانی becomes #بریانی. Spaces and punctuation are removed because hashtags can’t contain them. Common English words such as “the” are skipped; words in other languages are all kept.
What’s the difference between hashtags and tags?
Hashtags start with # and live in your title or description, where viewers see and tap them. Tags go in a separate Tags field that viewers don’t see. To make those, use the YouTube Tag Generator.
