How this tool works
Instagram caps you at 30 hashtags per post, whether they sit in the caption or the first comment. Go over that and Instagram will reject the whole comment. This tool counts, lists and de-duplicates your hashtags instantly.
- Paste your caption or hashtag block into the box.
- Review the extracted hashtag list and total count.
- Remove duplicates or overly broad tags flagged in the list.
- Copy the cleaned-up hashtag set back into Instagram.
Tips to get better results
- Mixing hashtag sizes (some with millions of posts, some niche) tends to outperform 30 identical mega-tags.
- Duplicate hashtags across every post can look spammy to the algorithm — rotate a few sets.
- Posting hashtags in the first comment keeps the caption itself clean and readable.

Visit GrohubzFrequently asked questions
How many hashtags can I use on Instagram?
Up to 30 per post or reel, combined across the caption and first comment.
Do hashtags in comments still help reach?
Yes, hashtags added in the first comment are treated the same as hashtags in the caption for discovery purposes.
Does using fewer hashtags hurt reach?
No — using a smaller number of well-targeted hashtags usually performs better than stuffing all 30 slots.
