TikTok uses information about your video, including captions, sounds and hashtags, to help work out who might want to watch it. Hashtags also help your videos show up when people search TikTok for a topic, which more and more viewers do.
This free TikTok hashtag generator suggests TikTok hashtags for your topic so you can skip the guesswork and pick a few accurate labels in seconds.

How many hashtags should you use on TikTok?
TikTok does not publish a single ideal number, and the caption length limit gives you plenty of room. That does not mean you should fill it. A small set, often around three to six accurate hashtags, is a sensible starting point for most videos.
Focus on tags that describe the video rather than generic ones like #fyp or #viral. Those describe nothing about your content, so they add little. Your analytics over a few weeks will tell you more than any fixed rule.
Tips for choosing TikTok hashtags
Layer broad, niche and specific tags
Combine one topic tag (#cooking), one or two niche tags (#airfryerrecipes) and a specific one (#crispytofu). Add a branded tag for series.
Relevance beats popularity
Tags with enormous view counts are crowded. Focused tags connect you with viewers who care about your exact topic.
Skip spammy or unrelated tags
Do not use trending tags that have nothing to do with your video. It can mislead viewers and break community guidelines.
Join trends that fit
If a trend or challenge genuinely matches your video, its hashtag can help. If it does not fit, leave it out.
Rotate and review
Change your hashtags as your topics change, and check which videos get search traffic to learn what works for you.
