Hashtag Counter

Count Hashtags Before You Post

Hashtags are easy to overdo. You start with three relevant tags, add a few trending ones, throw in some broad reach tags, and suddenly your caption is half hashtags. A hashtag counter shows you the real number before your audience sees the mess.

Instagram and TikTok treat hashtags differently, but both use them as context signals. Instagram still rewards a thoughtful mix of niche and mid-size tags. TikTok leans toward fewer, more specific hashtags tied to the actual video topic. Either way, knowing your count helps you stay intentional instead of spammy.

Character length per hashtag is the detail most counters skip. Every tag competes with your caption for attention and screen space. A 25-character hashtag pushes your actual message further down on mobile. Seeing each tag listed with its length makes it obvious which ones to cut or shorten.

Paste your draft caption into the box above. The tool extracts every hashtag starting with # and ignores duplicates. No login, no delay, no data sent anywhere. Edit your caption, paste again, and watch the count update.
