Tips
Use 3 to 5, not 30
Instagram now allows up to 5 hashtags per post. A few precise tags beat a long list.
Mix sizes
Combine one popular tag with a couple of niche and local ones. Niche tags have less competition, so your post stays visible longer.
Match your caption
Hashtags work best when they repeat the keywords already in your caption. They help Instagram understand what the post is about.
Save sets you reuse
In PilotPost you can save hashtag sets and add them to any post with one click.
Questions
How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?
Up to 5 per post, which is Instagram's current limit. Pick the most relevant ones rather than the most popular.
Do hashtags still work?
Yes, as a signal of what your post is about. They help with search and topic pages, though good content and captions matter more.
Can I use these on TikTok or Threads?
Yes, with a few adjustments. Threads allows one hashtag per post, so pick the single best one there.
Why are some hashtags in other languages?
If you choose a language, ideas are written in it. Local hashtags help when your audience searches in their own language.
