What is Hashtag Counter?

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.
