Tips for better results

  • Start with the exact keyword

    The first tag should be the main term of the video, written the way your audience types it.

  • Include common misspellings

    That is where tags help the most, according to YouTube itself.

  • Do not stuff the field

    Off-topic tags bring no viewers, and excessive tags are treated as spam under YouTube policies.

  • Hashtags go in the title or description

    Tags stay hidden; hashtags are visible to viewers and become clickable links.

Frequently asked questions

Do tags still work on YouTube?

Only a little. YouTube says tags play a minimal role in helping people find a video and are most useful when the topic is often misspelled. Title, thumbnail and description matter more; tags are a complement.

How many tags can I add?

The tags field holds 500 characters. YouTube counts the commas between tags and the quotes it adds around tags with spaces, and the generator counter does the same math.

What is the difference between tags and hashtags?

Tags live in their own field and viewers do not see them. Hashtags (#) go in the title or description, are visible to everyone and link to a page with other videos using the same hashtag.

Where do I paste the tags?

In YouTube Studio, open the video, go to Details, click Show more and paste them into the Tags field. Tags are separated by commas.

Can it generate tags in other languages?

Yes. Pick one of the 18 languages; for an international audience, generate a list in their language.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up. The limit is 12 generations every 10 minutes per connection.
