How to use the YouTube Hashtag & Keyword Generator

Type your video's main topic, optionally pick a video type, and click Generate ideas. The tool builds a list of hashtags and a comma-separated list of tag ideas based on your words and common phrases for that kind of video. Copy either list and paste it into your video description or the tags field in YouTube Studio. Generation is done locally in your browser.

How hashtags and tags work on YouTube

Hashtags appear in your title or description. YouTube shows up to three above the title, and ignores all hashtags if a video has more than 60.
Tags are hidden keywords in YouTube Studio. They play a small role in discovery, mostly helping with misspellings and context. Titles, thumbnails and descriptions matter far more.

Example

For the topic "home workout for beginners" with the type Tutorial, the tool suggests hashtags such as #homeworkoutforbeginners, #homeworkout, #tutorial and #forbeginners, and tag ideas like "home workout for beginners tutorial" and "how to home workout for beginners".

Tips for better results

Use specific topics rather than one-word subjects.
Keep only hashtags and tags that accurately describe your video, since misleading tags can violate YouTube's policies.
Place your most important keyword in the title and the first lines of the description.
Tags field limit is about 500 characters, and this tool stays within it.
