How many hashtags can I use on an Instagram post?+
Instagram announced a rollout to five caption hashtags in December 2025, as reported by Social Media Today. Follow the limit shown in your app. This tool returns up to five suggestions, and you can ask for three or four instead.
Should the hashtags go in the caption or the first comment?+
Use the caption for tags that describe your post. The December 2025 announcement concerns captions; it does not establish a combined caption-and-comment limit. This tool does not measure whether placement changes reach. Do not rely on the first comment to bypass a limit shown in your app.
Will hashtags get my post or Reel more views?+
This tool cannot predict views. It suggests tags that describe your post, without measuring their popularity, reach or performance. Review each suggestion for relevance before posting; a suggested tag is not a promise of more views.
Are these hashtags popular, trending, or safe to use?+
We don’t know, and we don’t claim to. These are suggestions written from what you typed. Nothing here counts posts, measures how busy a tag is, ranks one tag above another, or checks whether Instagram has restricted it. Search a tag in the Instagram app before you use it and look at what people are posting under it.
What should I type in the post box?+
Describe what is in the picture, in your own words: the dish, the job you finished, the room, the colour, the model of car. That detail is what makes the specific hashtags specific — it is the difference between a set that only fits your photo and one any business in your trade could paste.
Do I have to give my town?+
No, it’s optional. Leave it blank and the set simply comes back without a local hashtag; the tool will not guess a place you did not type. Give one and you get a tag that says where the business is, which is the only tag in the set that does.
Can I ask for fewer than five, and can I edit what I get?+
Yes to both. Three, four and five are the choices, and a set of three you mean is better than five you don’t. Delete any hashtag that doesn’t fit before you post — the block is plain text and nothing here has to be used as it came.
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. Your business details are sent to Soyla’s generation service and its AI provider to choose the hashtags, and the result stays available to the same browser session for 15 minutes. Leave out private customer information.
