YouTube Hashtag Extractor
Curious which hashtags popular YouTube videos are using? The free YouTube Hashtag Extractor by Amaze SEO Tools instantly reveals the hashtags from any YouTube video — simply paste the link, click Extract, and see them all.
Amaze SEO Tools brings you a free YouTube Hashtag Extractor designed for creators and marketers who want to decode the hashtag strategies of successful YouTube channels.
Hashtags on YouTube are the clickable # links you see above a video's title or scattered through its description. They serve as navigation shortcuts — when a viewer clicks one, YouTube surfaces a feed of every video using that same hashtag. Creators who pick the right hashtags tap into these browsing streams and attract viewers who are already exploring related content.
The challenge is knowing which hashtags actually work. That's where our Hashtag Extractor comes in. Paste any YouTube video URL into the tool, and it instantly pulls out every hashtag attached to that video. You can then study what's driving traffic for top creators and adapt those winning hashtags for your own content.
Fill Input Fields in the YouTube Hashtags Extractor
The interface is intentionally minimal — only two inputs are needed:
1. Enter YouTube Video URL
Paste the complete link of the YouTube video you want to analyze. The field displays "https://..." as a placeholder to guide you. Accepted URL formats include:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX
- https://youtu.be/XXXXXXXXXXX
Once submitted, the tool scans the video's publicly available data and retrieves all hashtags the creator embedded in the title or description.
Tip: Right-click any video on YouTube and select "Copy link address" for a clean URL without extra parameters.
2. reCAPTCHA (I'm not a robot)
Tick the "I'm not a robot" checkbox to pass the security verification. This mandatory step confirms you are a human visitor and unlocks the Extract function.
Action Buttons
Three buttons sit below the form:
Extract (Blue Button)
Your main action. After pasting a valid video URL and clearing the reCAPTCHA, press "Extract" to fetch all hashtags from the target video. Results appear instantly, showing each hashtag the uploader included in their video's title or description.
Sample (Green Button)
Tap "Sample" to load a demonstration extraction from a pre-selected video. This is handy for seeing exactly how the results are presented before you start analyzing real videos.
Reset (Red Button)
Erases the URL you entered and clears the reCAPTCHA, returning the form to its original empty state. Hit this whenever you need to analyze a different video.
How to Use YouTube Hashtag Extractor – Step by Step
- Pick a YouTube video you want to investigate — perhaps a viral video in your niche, a competitor's latest upload, or a trending video in your topic area.
- Copy its URL from your browser's address bar or by clicking the Share button beneath the video on YouTube.
- Paste the link into the "Enter YouTube Video URL" field on the Amaze SEO Tools Hashtag Extractor page.
- Check the reCAPTCHA by ticking the "I'm not a robot" box.
- Press "Extract" to retrieve all the hashtags used in that video.
- Review and learn — examine which hashtags the creator chose, spot patterns across multiple videos, and use those insights to strengthen your own hashtag strategy.
Smart Ways to Use Extracted Hashtags
Pulling hashtags from other videos gives you raw data. Here's how to turn that data into a competitive advantage:
- Analyze multiple videos, not just one — Extract hashtags from 8-10 top-performing videos on the same topic. Hashtags that appear repeatedly across several videos are likely driving real discoverability — prioritize those for your own uploads.
- Separate broad from niche hashtags — You'll typically find a mix of generic hashtags (#YouTube, #Viral) and specific ones (#BudgetTravelEurope, #PythonCodingTips). Niche hashtags face less competition and attract highly targeted viewers.
- Track what trending creators use — Channels that consistently grow often have refined their hashtag choices over time. Extracting hashtags from their recent videos reveals their current strategy, which is more valuable than copying from older uploads.
- Adapt, don't copy — Extracted hashtags should inform your approach, not replace your own thinking. Always ensure the hashtags you use genuinely describe your video's content, or YouTube may reduce your video's reach.
- Pair with the Hashtag Generator — Use the Extractor for competitive research, then run your keyword through the Amaze SEO Tools YouTube Hashtag Generator to discover additional hashtags you might have overlooked. The combination delivers a well-rounded hashtag set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the YouTube Hashtag Extractor cost anything?
A: No. It's entirely free on Amaze SEO Tools with no sign-up required and no cap on usage.
Q: Which URL format should I use?
A: Either the standard youtube.com/watch?v=... link or the short youtu.be/... link will work perfectly.
Q: Can I extract hashtags from private or unlisted videos?
A: No. The tool can only access metadata from publicly available YouTube videos. Private and unlisted videos have restricted data that cannot be retrieved.
Q: What happens if the video has no hashtags?
A: Not every creator adds hashtags to their uploads. If the extraction returns empty results, it simply means that particular video doesn't contain any hashtags in its title or description.
Q: What's the difference between the Hashtag Extractor and the Tag Extractor?
A: The Hashtag Extractor pulls the visible, clickable #hashtags shown above the video title or in the description. The Tag Extractor reveals the hidden metadata tags that only YouTube's algorithm can see. Both provide valuable insights, and Amaze SEO Tools offers both for free.
Q: Can I use extracted hashtags directly on my own videos?
A: You can use them as inspiration, but always make sure the hashtags genuinely match your video's content. Copying irrelevant hashtags from another creator's video could hurt your performance and may violate YouTube's community guidelines.
Q: How do I view the Sample output?
A: Simply click the green "Sample" button on the tool page. It loads a pre-set example extraction so you can see exactly how the results are displayed before running your own search.
