YouTube Hashtag Extractor

Pull every hashtag from a video title and description.

Where do YouTube hashtags appear?

YouTube hashtags are clickable #tags written in a video's title or description. The first three from the description appear above the title, and clicking one shows other videos with the same hashtag. A hashtag extractor lists all of them from any public video.

Hashtag best practices

  • Use 3–5 specific hashtags; the first three appear above your title.
  • Keep them relevant — misleading hashtags break YouTube policy.
  • Combine a broad tag (#coffee), a niche tag (#coldbrew) and a branded tag (#yourchannel).
  • For Shorts, #shorts is optional — YouTube detects vertical videos under three minutes automatically.

Using the extractor for research

Run several popular videos in your niche through the extractor. Hashtags that repeat across creators show where your audience browses; branded hashtags show how creators build series and communities.

Create your own set with the YouTube Hashtag Generator or convert any text into hashtags with Text to Hashtags.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the hashtags a YouTube video uses?

Paste the video link. The extractor scans the title and full description and lists every hashtag.

How many hashtags can a YouTube video have?

There is no fixed small limit, but if a video has more than 60 hashtags YouTube ignores all of them. Three to five relevant hashtags work best.

Do hashtags help YouTube SEO?

They help viewers discover related videos and add topical context, but titles, thumbnails and watch time matter more.

Why are no hashtags found?

The video's title and description do not contain any hashtags.
