How to pick hashtags that help
- Describe the video, not the dream. Hashtags tell TikTok who the video is for. #fyp alone says nothing about your topic.
- Use 3 to 5. One broad tag for reach, two medium ones for your topic, and one or two niche tags where your video can stand out.
- Check the size. A tag with billions of views is crowded; one with a few million views is easier to show up in. The size badge does this for you.
- Match your words. TikTok also reads your caption, on-screen text and speech, so say your topic out loud and put it in the caption too.
- Keep a few sets. Save one set per kind of video you post and rotate them, instead of pasting the same 30 tags on everything.
Where the numbers come from
Each hashtag shows the number of posts that use it and their total views, as TikTok reports them today. Results are cached for a day. To look at one tag closely, open it in the hashtag analyzer; to browse the biggest tags in a niche, see popular hashtags.

Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?
Three to five that describe the video work better than a long list. Use one broad tag for reach, two medium ones for your topic and one or two niche tags where your video can stand out.
Where do the numbers come from?
They are the post and view counts TikTok reports for each hashtag, looked up live when you search and cached for a day.
Do hashtags still matter on TikTok?
Yes, as one of the signals that tell TikTok what your video is about, together with your caption, on-screen text and speech. They will not make a video go viral alone, but the right ones help it reach people who watch that topic.
Should I use #fyp and #foryou?
They are on billions of videos, so they tell TikTok nothing about your topic. If you use one, add it next to tags that describe the video.
Can I find hashtags in Arabic or other languages?
Yes. Type your topic in any language, for example طبخ or receta, and you get the hashtags people use in that language.
