Complete Guide: Hashtag Counter
Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The Hashtag Counter counts the number of hashtags in a social media post and compares the count against recommended limits for each platform. Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags, Twitter recommends 1-2, LinkedIn suggests 3-5, and TikTok allows up to 100. The tool highlights the hashtags in your text and shows the count. All processing happens in the browser.
This tool scans your text for words prefixed with # and counts them. It compares the count against known platform limits and recommendations. The output shows the total count, remaining allowance, and whether the count is within the optimal range.
