Platform presets, caption keywords, and broad/niche/branded mixes — copy-ready for social posts.

Comma-separated, like coffee, cafe.
How to use
1. Pick a platform preset (or Custom), then paste a caption or type keywords.
2. Choose a mix (balanced, reach, niche, or brand-forward) and a niche category.
3. Drop anything off-topic, then copy or download. Open unfamiliar high-volume tags to spot-check the community before you post.
What this hashtag generator does
It turns keywords (and optional caption text) into a mixed set of broad, niche, and branded tags sized for the platform you picked. It does not rank tags, scrape Instagram, or tell you a tag is banned this week. Treat the list as a starting mix.
Platform counts and mixes
Presets exist because stuffing 30 tags into every network looks like spam on some and under-tagging on others:
- Instagram — about 25 tags; mix reach with niche
- TikTok — about 4 relevant tags
- X / Twitter — usually 1–3 so the post stays readable
- LinkedIn — a few specific professional tags
Mix presets change the ratio of broad / niche / branded. Caption extract pulls useful words and existing #tags into the keyword field so suggestions stay on-topic. Write the post first; tags that already appear in the caption are safer than a wall of unrelated viral words.
What this tool will not do
It will not promise reach, detect shadowbans, or maintain a live banned-tag list. If someone following only that tag would be annoyed to see your post, drop it. Rotate as the content rotates. Strategy: hashtag strategy that still works. Filter-safe habits: safe hashtag practices.
Is the hashtag generator private?
Keywords, captions, and results stay in the browser. They are not uploaded to GenShelf and not sent to the social networks from this page. Publishing still happens on those platforms under their rules.
FAQ
Which platform preset should I use?
Presets set a typical count: Instagram 25, TikTok 4, X/Twitter 2, LinkedIn 3. Custom lets you pick any count. Relevance still beats filling the limit.
What are broad, niche, and branded tags?
Broad tags help discovery, niche tags match a specific audience, and branded tags center your keywords or campaign. Mix presets change how many of each you get.
Does this tool scrape trending hashtags?
No. Tags are built in your browser from keywords, an optional caption extract, and local niche lists. There is no live trending API.
Will these hashtags get me shadowbanned?
No generator can promise reach. Avoid banned or spammy communities, don’t paste the same giant block on every post, and keep tags relevant to the caption.
Is anything saved?
No. Hashtags are generated locally and are not stored by GenShelf.
