Frequently asked questions

How are the hashtags generated?

The tool uses a curated keyword-to-hashtag map built from research into high-performing tags across categories. It is not a live trending API — it gives you a solid starting set that you can refine based on your audience and niche.

Why does Twitter/X show only 2 hashtags?

Research consistently shows that 1-2 hashtags on Twitter/X outperform posts with many tags — more than 2 can actually reduce engagement. The tool follows this best practice automatically.

What's the difference between popular and niche tags?

Popular tags (coloured chip) have very high search volume — great for visibility but highly competitive. Niche tags (grey chip) are more targeted — lower reach but your post stays in the feed longer since fewer posts compete for them. A healthy Instagram set mixes both.

My topic wasn't found — what happens?

If your exact topic isn't in the map, the tool tries synonyms and partial matches, then falls back to generic social tags plus auto-generated topic-specific tags. You'll see a note if a nearest match was used.

Is my data shared with anyone?

No — everything runs in your browser. Your topic and generated hashtags never leave your device.
