How to use it

  1. Pick where you’re posting

    This sets how many hashtags you get. The tool prints that platform’s note under the picker.

  2. Say what the post is about

    Name the item, the day, the job you did. Add your town if you serve one.

  3. Copy the block, then check a couple

    Search two or three of them in the app itself. If a tag brings up nothing like your business, drop it.

Examples

Three briefs, and the set each one got back.

A coffee shop on Instagram

Instagram · 5 hashtags · Portland, OR

They typedOur winter espresso blend lands Friday. Chocolate and orange, roasted here on Tuesday. Free tasting all morning.

They got
#SpecialtyCoffee #EspressoBlend #SmallBatchRoastery #PortlandCoffee #PDXCoffeeShop

Two of the five suggestions name the city instead of the trade.

Social media for coffee shops

A carrier on LinkedIn

LinkedIn · 3 hashtags

They typedWe moved dispatch to a fixed weekly reset last quarter and driver turnover dropped. Here is what we changed and what it cost us.

They got
#Trucking #FleetManagement #DriverRetention

Three plain industry words. LinkedIn reads them as the post's topic, so none of them is a slogan.

A photographer on Pinterest

Pinterest · 4 hashtags · Asheville, NC

They typedAn October barn wedding: what we shoot in the hour before sunset, and how we plan the timeline around it.

They got
#WeddingPhotography #GoldenHourPortraits #BarnWeddingVenue #AshevilleWeddingPhotographer

Pinterest is a search box, so every tag is written as a phrase rather than as slang.

How many, and where they go

These numbers are how many suggestions the tool returns. The notes distinguish platform guidance, reported changes and our own choices. They do not predict reach or popularity.

What makes a good set

Every set comes back in this order. It is the only ordering here; nothing is ranked by how busy or how popular a tag is, because we have no data on either.

  1. 1

    Broad

    Names the trade or the subject. The words somebody types who does not know you exist.

  2. 2

    Specific

    Names what is actually in this post: the dish, the finished job, the colour.

  3. 3

    Local

    Your town plus your trade, for people searching in the area you serve.

Common questions

How many hashtags should I use?

Use only tags that describe your post. This tool returns five for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, three for LinkedIn and Facebook, two for X, and four for Pinterest. These are output counts, not universal platform limits. The notes above distinguish published guidance, reported changes and our choices. Check the limit shown in your app before posting.

Where do the hashtags go?

Use the caption on Instagram and TikTok, the end of the post on LinkedIn and Facebook, and the post itself on X. On YouTube and Pinterest, put them in the description. Hashtags use space within the platform’s text limit. Moving them into a comment is not a reliable way to work around a limit shown in your app.

Will hashtags get my post more views?

Nobody can promise that, and we don’t. A hashtag labels what a post is about so it can be found by someone searching or browsing that word. It is not a lever you pull for reach. Instagram’s own reason for cutting the limit to five was that a caption stuffed with generic tags does not help.

Are these hashtags popular, trending, or easy to rank for?

We don’t know, and we won’t pretend to. This tool has no post counts, no trend data and no competition data of any kind. Nothing is ranked, scored or ordered by anything except how broad it is. Before you lean on a set, search two or three of them in the app itself and see whether the posts that come up look like yours.

What should I type in the post description?

Say what the post is about the way you’d tell a customer, and include one or two real details: the item, the date, the neighborhood, what you want people to do. “Winter espresso blend lands Friday, free tasting all morning” gets you better tags than “new coffee.”

Should I add my town or city?

If you serve one, yes. It’s optional, but it is the field that turns a tag anyone in your trade could use into one about where you actually are, like #PortlandCoffee. Leave it blank if you sell everywhere, and the tool gives you no local tag.

Can I get hashtags in my own language?

Not from this tool. It writes tags in Latin letters, digits and underscores only, so anything it hands you works the same way on all seven platforms. Instagram, TikTok and Facebook do accept other scripts, so if your customers search in Turkish, Arabic or Spanish, write those tags yourself and paste them alongside.

Is it free, and what happens to what I type?

It’s free and there is no account. There is a daily limit so it stays available for everyone, and the tool tells you when to try again if you reach it. What you type is sent to Soyla’s generation service and its AI provider to write the hashtags, and the result stays available to the same browser session for 15 minutes. Leave out private customer information.
