YouTube Hashtag Generator
Want more viewers to find your YouTube videos? The free YouTube Hashtag Generator by Amaze SEO Tools creates trending, clickable hashtags that increase your video's exposure across YouTube's search and hashtag pages.
Amaze SEO Tools brings you a powerful, free YouTube Hashtag Generator built for YouTubers, vloggers, and marketers who want to expand their video's reach without manual research.
Unlike tags (which are hidden metadata), YouTube hashtags are visible and clickable. They appear as blue links above your video title or within your description. When a viewer clicks on a hashtag, YouTube opens a dedicated page showing all videos that share the same hashtag — giving your content an additional discovery channel beyond regular search.
Choosing the right hashtags can place your video in front of audiences who are actively browsing related topics. Our Hashtag Generator eliminates the trial-and-error approach by producing a curated list of relevant hashtags from just one keyword — instantly and at no cost.
Fill Input Fields in the YouTube Hashtags Generator
Here's what each input option on the tool does:
1. Enter Your Keyword
The main text box where you type your video's core topic. For example, entering "seo" will generate a variety of hashtags related to search engine optimization. Think of this as telling the tool what your video is about so it can find the most relevant hashtags for you.
Tip: Try using 2-3 word phrases like "digital marketing tips" for more precise and niche-specific hashtag suggestions.
2. Language
Use this dropdown to set the language of your generated hashtags. The tool defaults to English, but if your content targets viewers in another region, switching the language ensures you get hashtags your actual audience is searching for.
3. reCAPTCHA (I'm not a robot)
A quick one-click verification to confirm you're a real person. Check the "I'm not a robot" box before generating hashtags. This security measure is required each time you use the tool.
Action Buttons
You'll see three buttons below the form:
Generate (Blue Button)
Your go-to button. After filling in your keyword, selecting a language, and completing the reCAPTCHA, press "Generate" to get a list of YouTube-ready hashtags. Each hashtag is optimized for discoverability and can be directly added to your video's title or description.
Sample (Green Button)
Want a quick look at how the results appear? Press "Sample" to load an example output without entering any keyword. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the tool before running your first real search.
Reset (Red Button)
Wipes the form clean — removes your keyword, resets the language to default, and clears the reCAPTCHA. Click this whenever you're ready to search for hashtags on a completely different topic.
How to Use YouTube Hashtag Generator – Step by Step
- Navigate to the YouTube Hashtag Generator on the Amaze SEO Tools website.
- Enter your video's keyword in the text field (e.g., "travel vlog", "gaming highlights", "recipe tutorial").
- Choose your language using the dropdown selector.
- Check the reCAPTCHA box to confirm you're not a bot.
- Press the "Generate" button to receive your hashtag suggestions.
- Add the hashtags to your video title or description in YouTube Studio. Remember — the first 3 hashtags in your description automatically appear as clickable links above your title.
Best Practices for YouTube Hashtags
Make your hashtags work harder with these proven strategies:
- Stick to 3–15 hashtags per video — YouTube shows up to 3 hashtags above your title. You can include more in the description, but exceeding 15 may cause YouTube to ignore all of them.
- Blend popular and niche hashtags — Pair high-traffic hashtags like #SEO with specific ones like #LocalSEOStrategy to capture both broad and targeted audiences.
- Write hashtags without spaces — Hashtags must be a single string. Use #YouTubeSEO, not #YouTube SEO.
- Place your top 3 strategically — The first 3 hashtags in your description become clickable links above the title. If you put hashtags directly in the title, those take priority instead.
- Keep hashtags honest and relevant — Misleading or spammy hashtags can get your video removed from search results or flagged by YouTube.
- Tap into trending topics — If a trending subject relates to your video, include it as a hashtag to benefit from the surge in search activity.
- Use different hashtags for different videos — Customizing hashtags per video topic helps each upload reach its own unique audience segment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the YouTube Hashtag Generator cost anything?
A: Not at all. The tool by Amaze SEO Tools is 100% free with unlimited usage. No account creation needed.
Q: How many hashtags should I use on my video?
A: YouTube recommends keeping it under 15 hashtags. The first 3 from your description are displayed as clickable links above your video title. Using more than 15 may cause all hashtags to be ignored.
Q: Where exactly do hashtags appear on my video?
A: If added in the description, the first 3 hashtags show as blue clickable links directly above your video title. Hashtags placed inside the title itself will also display there.
Q: What is the Sample button for?
A: It loads a preview of example hashtag results, letting you see the output format without entering a keyword. Ideal for first-time users exploring the tool.
Q: Will hashtags actually help my video get more views?
A: Yes. Hashtags create an additional pathway for discovery. When viewers click any hashtag, they see a feed of related videos — including yours. This exposes your content to audiences beyond regular search.
Q: Is it possible to generate hashtags in my local language?
A: Yes. Simply select your preferred language from the dropdown menu, and the tool will produce hashtags tailored to that language and audience.
Q: What's the difference between YouTube hashtags and YouTube tags?
A: Hashtags are visible and clickable — they appear above your video title as blue links starting with #. Tags are hidden keywords that only YouTube's algorithm reads. Both improve discoverability, so using them together gives you the best results. Amaze SEO Tools offers separate free generators for each.
