How the generator works
We fetch YouTube autocomplete suggestions for your topic, convert each phrase to CamelCase hashtag format (cold brew at home → #ColdBrewAtHome), remove duplicates and sort by relevance. CamelCase keeps multi-word hashtags readable and accessible for screen readers.
Where to put them
- Add 3 hashtags at the end of your description — YouTube shows the first three above the title.
- Optionally use one hashtag in the title if it reads naturally.
- Do not stuff: more than 60 hashtags makes YouTube ignore them all, and irrelevant hashtags can get the video removed from search.
Choosing the best three
- One broad topic hashtag for discovery.
- One specific hashtag that matches the video precisely.
- One branded or series hashtag (
#URLModeTips) to connect your videos.
Check what competitors use with the YouTube Hashtag Extractor and build hidden keyword tags with the YouTube Tag Generator.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?
Three to five relevant hashtags. The first three in the description appear above your title.
Should hashtags go in the title or description?
Usually the description. A single hashtag in the title can work if it reads naturally.
Why use CamelCase hashtags?
Capitalising each word, like #ColdBrewAtHome, makes hashtags easier to read and helps screen readers pronounce them.
Do trending hashtags get more views?
Only if they are relevant. Viewers who click a hashtag expect matching content; unrelated videos get skipped.
