About Hashtagr

Hashtagr is a small, independent site about one thing: hashtags. It has four free tools that run in your browser and a set of guides that explain how hashtags work on X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads and YouTube, and how to write tags that people can read.

Why does this site exist?

Hashtag rules changed a lot between 2024 and 2026, and most advice online still describes the old ones.

Instagram went from 30 tags to five. TikTok started enforcing five. Threads launched with a single topic tag. LinkedIn dropped hashtag following. X's owner told people to stop using hashtags. Meanwhile, blind and low-vision users still hear lower-case tags as garbled words. Hashtagr collects the current rules in one place, with dates and sources, and gives you simple tools to follow them.

Who writes the guides?

The guides are written and maintained by Hashtagr Editorial, the site's own editorial team.

We do not invent experts, testimonials or statistics. Platform rules come from the platforms' own help pages and documentation, or from reputable reporting when a platform has not published a rule; each guide says which. Our process is described on the how we research page.

What Hashtagr does not do

We do not sell followers, post on your behalf, ask for your login, scrape platforms, or publish trending-hashtag lists or search volumes.

Hashtagr has no access to platform data, so any "trending" list or reach estimate from us would be a guess. The tools only work on the text you type, inside your browser.

Independence

Hashtagr is not affiliated with X Corp., Meta (Instagram, Threads, Facebook), TikTok, LinkedIn, Google or YouTube. Product names are used only to describe how those products work.

This site was relaunched in 2026 under new, independent management. This site is not connected to any person or business previously associated with this domain.
