TikTok hashtags
Describe your video and get up to five TikTok hashtags that match what's in it. TikTok reads hashtags along with your caption and sound to work out who might like the video, so tags that describe it honestly beat popular ones that don't.

TikTok hashtags: what to know
This page starts the hashtag generator for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the hashtag generator.
Choosing your five
Use one broad tag for the subject (#houseplants), two niche tags for the community that cares about it (#planttok, #monsteracare) and two specific tags for this exact video (#repotting, #monsteradeliciosa). The generator gives you the same mix, so you can keep it or swap a tag for one of your own.
Put the words people would search for in your caption too. TikTok reads the caption as well as the tags, so a clear sentence about what happens in the video helps more than a sixth hashtag would.
Why we don't list trending hashtags
Trending tags change by the day and by country, and a copied list goes stale quickly. A trending tag that doesn't match your video puts it in front of people who skip it, which is a weak signal. Tap a tag in the TikTok app and look at its recent videos before you use it: if they look like yours, it fits.
Questions
What hashtags are popular on TikTok?
Popular tags change daily and by country, so any fixed list is out of date. Check a tag in the app before you use it, and choose tags that describe your video rather than the most popular ones.
What is the 5 hashtag rule on TikTok?
Since August 2025 many TikTok accounts have been told they can add at most five hashtags to a post. TikTok hasn't documented it in its help centre, so treat five as the most you can use, not a target.
What is the 3 hashtag rule?
It isn't a TikTok rule. Some guides suggest three tags per post as a habit. What matters is that each tag describes your video.
