## How the sets are built

The generator starts with your exact keywords, then creates niche combinations (your keyword plus words like tips, daily, life, community, and lovers), pairs of keywords, and fills the rest with broad high-volume tags. Niche tags are where small accounts get discovered; broad tags add volume but you will be buried in them within minutes. That mix is the whole strategy.

## 30, 15, or 3 tags?

Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per post. Use the full 30 on feed posts for maximum discovery. Use 15 when you want a tighter, more targeted set. Use 3 on Reels and Stories, where a wall of tags looks cluttered and a few precise tags do the work. Put tags in the first comment if you want a clean caption.

## Worked example

A bakery enters **cake, baking** and picks 30. The set opens with #cake and #baking, adds niche combinations like #caketips, #bakingdaily, #cakelovers, and #bakingcommunity, pairs like #cakebaking, then rounds out with broad tags such as #instagood and #photooftheday. Copy, paste, done.

## Check before you post

Instagram sometimes limits or hides posts that use banned or broken tags. Before using a set, spot-check a few tags in the app: if the tag page shows almost no recent posts or a warning, swap it out. Reusing the identical 30 tags on every post can also look spammy; generate a fresh set for each post.

## Your data stays on your device

Everything is computed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no login, and your keywords are never stored or sent anywhere.

## Frequently asked questions
### How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?

Up to 30 per post is allowed. Use 30 on feed posts, around 15 for a tighter set, and 3 on Reels or Stories. This generator builds all three sizes.

### Broad or niche hashtags, which are better?

Both. Broad tags carry volume but bury you fast; niche tags have smaller audiences where you can actually rank. The sets here mix the two on purpose.

### Where do I put the hashtags?

In the caption or the first comment; both work the same for discovery. The first comment keeps the caption clean.

### Can hashtags get my post limited?

Instagram can limit reach for posts using banned or broken tags. Spot-check unfamiliar tags in the app before posting, and rotate your sets instead of pasting the same 30 every time.

### Should I reuse the same hashtags on every post?

No. Repeating the identical set looks spammy and narrows your reach. Generate a fresh set per post, which takes seconds here.

### Do hashtags work on Reels?

Yes, but keep it light: 3 precise tags beat 30 on Reels. Pick the 3-tag size above.

### Are these tags in English only?

The keyword combinations use your keywords as typed, so enter keywords in any language. The filler broad tags are English; the niche combinations built from your own words matter more anyway.

### Is anything uploaded or stored?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser and your keywords never leave your device.
