Pinterest Hashtag Generator

Type a topic, tap the hashtags that fit your pin and copy a short, relevant set.

For example: fall outfits, meal prep, small kitchen.

Hashtags matter much less on Pinterest than keywords in your title, description and board name. Add a few at the end of the description, never instead of keywords.

How to use the Pinterest Hashtag Generator

  1. 1

    Type your pin topic

    Use the subject of the pin, such as "fall outfits", "meal prep" or "small kitchen". The generator matches it against niches such as food, home decor, fashion and travel.

  2. 2

    Pick the tags that fit

    The first five are selected for you. Tap any tag to add or remove it, keeping only the ones that describe this exact pin.

  3. 3

    Copy and paste at the end

    Copy the selected set and paste it after your description text. Write the description itself first with the description generator.

Here is the honest part first: on Pinterest, hashtags matter far less than keywords. Pinterest search relies mostly on the words in your pin title, description, board name and the page your pin links to. Hashtags are optional, and a long block of them makes a description harder to read.

If you still like to add a few, this generator helps you choose relevant ones instead of generic filler. Type a topic and it suggests tags from a hand-picked list for that niche, plus combinations built from your own keyword. Tap to select or remove tags, then copy the set and paste it at the end of your description.

Do hashtags work on Pinterest?

They can help a little, but they are not how most pins get found. A pin with a clear keyword title and a helpful description will do better than the same pin with twenty hashtags and a vague title. Treat hashtags as a small extra, never a replacement for keywords.

Spend your time on the parts that carry more weight: the pin title, the description and a board name people actually search.

How to choose good Pinterest hashtags

Choose tags that describe the pin specifically. #fallcapsulewardrobe tells a reader more than #fashion. Mix one or two broad tags with a couple of specific ones, and skip tags that only describe your brand unless people already search for it.

Keep the set short. A few relevant hashtags at the end of a description look natural. A long list looks like spam to people reading it.

Pinterest Hashtag Generator FAQ

How many hashtags should I use on Pinterest?

A few relevant ones is plenty. This tool selects five by default. More hashtags do not make up for a weak title or description, and a long list makes the pin look spammy.

Are hashtags or keywords more important on Pinterest?

Keywords. Pinterest search reads your pin title, description, board name and the linked page. Hashtags are an optional extra on top of good keywords.

Where do hashtags go on a pin?

At the end of the pin description, after the sentences that explain the pin. Do not put them in the title, where they waste space that a keyword could use.

Can I use the same hashtags on every pin?

You can, but tags work best when they describe each specific pin. Reuse broad niche tags and change the specific ones to match the topic of each pin.

Where do these hashtag suggestions come from?

From a curated list of common tags for about twenty niches, plus combinations built from your own topic. Nothing is fetched from Pinterest, so the tool cannot show how popular a tag is.
