LinkedIn hashtag generator

Paste a post below and get five hashtags ranked from most to least recommended, weighted toward the narrow tags where a post can actually be seen rather than the broad ones where it sinks in minutes. And an honest note before you start: hashtags are seasoning, not strategy. The post does the work.

Fill in what you have. More context, better output.

Free, no account. What you type is sent to our API once, to generate the result, and is not stored.

Example run

Five tags for a CRM migration post, ranked

Ranked by winnability, not volume: four narrow tags where a post about a CRM migration can actually rank, and one broad tag for reach.

What went in

The post
We migrated 14 years of customer data from a legacy CRM in one weekend. The secret was not clever tooling. It was three weeks of boring preparation: deduplicating records, agreeing on field mappings, and running the migration twice against a copy first.

What came back

Tag 1

#crmmigration

Tag 2

#datamigration

Tag 3

Tag 4

Why it matters

Discovery runs through people, not pages.

Hashtags are a small discovery lever, and the reach they tap now belongs to personal profiles. The numbers behind the tags are the numbers behind personal distribution.

Beyond the demo

This page writes from a form. The product writes from you.

The generator above works with whatever fits in a few fields. Connect LinkedIn to Depost AI, the AI content team B2B founders and teams run on LinkedIn, and the same kind of draft starts from your analytics, your voice, and the buyers you are actually trying to reach.

Drafts that start from your analytics

The agents read your posting history first: the hooks that earned the click, the pillars your audience answers, the rhythm of what worked. The draft sounds like you because it learned from you, not from a form.

A reply ready for every person who matters

Build custom lists of the people you want to stay visible to. Their new posts arrive in one feed with a comment drafted in your voice under each. You edit or approve every one before it goes anywhere.

From draft to published, without the paste

Finished drafts go to the queue and publish through LinkedIn’s official API, with the first comment written alongside. Connection notes and follow-ups are drafted with the context already in place. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

Connect LinkedIn and you have a strategy, your pillars, and your first post ideas in about fifteen minutes.

The honest case for and against hashtags

Against: LinkedIn reads your post text and decides who might care based on what you wrote, not on the tags you appended. Hashtag pages are quieter than they were, and no tag has ever made a mediocre post interesting. If you only have energy for one improvement, spend it on the first line, not the footer.

For: specificity still finds people. A tag like #fractionalcfo or #devrel sits on a feed small enough that a good post stays visible, browsed by people who chose that exact subject. Recruiters, buyers, and peers do search narrow terms. Two or three such tags cost nothing, read as metadata, and occasionally deliver precisely the reader you wrote the post for. That asymmetry, small cost and an occasional exact hit, is the whole justification, and it is enough.

What kills the asymmetry is breadth. Broad catch-all tags carry so much volume that your post's stay on the feed is measured in minutes, and a row of them signals automation to human readers. Hence the ranking above: specific first, one broad tag at most, and the confidence to use fewer than five.

Questions

Do hashtags still work on LinkedIn?
They matter less than they used to and less than most advice claims. LinkedIn leans on the post text itself to understand what a post is about, and follows of hashtag pages have faded as a discovery route. What tags still do: give a post a fighting chance in narrow, specific feeds where few people post, and signal topic to readers scanning quickly. What they do not do is rescue a post nobody wanted to read.
How many hashtags should a LinkedIn post have?
Zero to five. Zero is a perfectly good number for a strong post. If you use them, a small set of specific tags beats a footer of broad ones, and a post wearing ten tags reads as template-driven before anyone reads a word of it. This generator returns five, ranked, so you can take the top two or three and drop the rest.
Should I use big hashtags or niche ones?
Niche, almost always. A broad tag has enormous volume and therefore no visibility for you; your post sinks in minutes. A narrow tag has a small feed where a good post can actually be seen, and the people browsing it chose something specific, which makes them the right readers. The generator weights its ranking accordingly and allows at most one broad tag in the five.
Where should hashtags go in the post?
At the end, on their own line. Tags woven into sentences make the text harder to read for exactly the humans the post is for. The end-of-post block is understood by readers as metadata and skipped, which is what you want.
Is it free, and is my post stored?
Free, no account, with a daily cap so it stays available. The post is sent once to generate the tags and is not stored.
How do I know if my hashtags are doing anything?
Not from a generator; from results over time. Depost AI keeps your full analytics history next to every post, so you can see what a post actually earned and stop guessing at which habits help. Tags are one small input; the analytics tell you which inputs deserve your attention.
