Hashtag Counter

A Hashtag Counter tells you exactly how many hashtags are in your caption and whether you are within the limit for each platform.

Paste your text and it instantly counts the tags, lists the unique ones, and flags any you have repeated by mistake.

Why hashtag counts matter

Instagram accepts up to 30 hashtags per post and simply ignores any beyond that, so extra tags are wasted effort.

TikTok has no hard cap but works best with a small, focused set rather than a long list.

Knowing your count before you post means every tag you include actually does its job.

How the counter works

The tool scans your text for anything starting with # followed by letters, numbers, or underscores.

It shows the total number of hashtags, the number of unique tags, and your overall word and character counts.

Repeated tags are highlighted in red with a count, so duplicates are easy to spot and remove.

Cleaning up your tags

Two Copy buttons let you grab either the full list or just the unique hashtags as a clean, space-separated block.

That makes it simple to paste a de-duplicated set back into your caption or a first comment.

Once your tags are set, run the whole caption through the Social Media Character Counter to be sure it fits, and if it is an Instagram post, tidy the layout with the Instagram Caption Spacer so the tags sit on their own clean lines.

Counting the words too

Hashtags are only one part of a caption's length.

For the surrounding copy, a Word Counter breaks down words, sentences, and reading time so the whole post stays readable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?

Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags on a post and up to 30 across a post's comments combined. Any tags beyond 30 are ignored, and overloading a caption can look spammy, so the counter warns you the moment you cross that line.

How does the tool count hashtags?

It looks for a # followed by letters, numbers, or underscores, which is how the platforms recognise a tag. Punctuation and spaces end a hashtag, so #travel! counts the word travel. The total, unique count, and duplicates all update live as you type.

Does it detect duplicate hashtags?

Yes. The counter compares tags case-insensitively, so #Travel and #travel are treated as the same tag. Any repeated hashtag is highlighted in red with the number of times it appears, so you can remove the extras.

Is my caption sent anywhere?

No. All counting happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or stored, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
