How to find hashtags for a Facebook post
-
Step 1
Enter the post topic
Type what the post is about, such as "healthy recipes", "small business tips" or "travel photography".

Step 2
Choose how many
Pick 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 or 50 hashtags, and one of six languages.
-
Step 3
Generate the list
You get a mix of broad and niche hashtags written in CamelCase, such as #HealthyRecipes, so they are easy to read.

Step 4
Copy the ones that fit
Click a hashtag to copy it, or use "Copy all". Add two or three to the end of your post.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on a Facebook post?
Two or three relevant hashtags per post is enough on Facebook. Hashtags matter less there than on Instagram, and a long block of tags makes a post look like spam. Generate a bigger list, then pick the few that describe the post best.
Do hashtags work on Facebook?
Hashtags on Facebook are clickable and searchable: tapping one opens a feed of public posts that use it. They help most for events, campaigns and branded series you want people to find in one place. They will not rescue a weak post, so treat them as a small extra.
How many hashtags does the generator give me?
You choose: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 or 50 hashtags per run. The list mixes broad tags with more specific ones and removes duplicates. You can run the generator twice a day without an account.
Should Facebook hashtags be CamelCase or lowercase?
Facebook hashtags are not case-sensitive, so #SocialMedia and #socialmedia open the same feed. CamelCase, with a capital at the start of each word, is easier to read and lets screen readers pronounce each word, which is why the generator writes them that way.
What is the difference between broad and niche hashtags?
A broad hashtag such as #Marketing is used on a huge number of posts, so yours is quickly buried. A niche hashtag such as #EmailMarketingTips has fewer posts but a more specific audience. Using one broad tag and one or two niche tags covers both.
Can I use spaces or symbols in a Facebook hashtag?
No. A hashtag ends at the first space or punctuation mark, so write multi-word tags as one word. Letters and numbers are fine. The generator returns every hashtag as a single word starting with #.
Does the generator work in other languages?
Yes. It writes hashtags in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese. Choose the language before you generate.
