About this tool
Use the Hashtag Counter to count hashtags in your text and check if you are over the YouTube limit. Fill in your text with hashtags, click “Count Hashtags”, and the answer shows up on the same page right away. There is no sign-up and nothing to install — it is free, and it just works.
Good SEO on YouTube is not about tricks — it is about describing your video clearly so the right people find it. The Hashtag Counter helps you do that in a few minutes, while the video is fresh in your mind. Small channels use it to get discovered, and larger ones use it to keep every upload consistent.
Here is the whole process, start to finish. First, paste your description or hashtag list in the box above. Next, the hashtag count updates live as you type. Then, if you are over 15 hashtags, remove some before publishing.
Read the result as a planning figure. It shows what your numbers add up to right now, which is useful for goals and forecasts, but it cannot predict what YouTube or advertisers will do next. One thing worth knowing: any word starting with #, for example #dosa or #cooking. Remember that this is an estimate only. No calculator can guarantee earnings, views or approval — it can only work with the numbers you give it.
- Enter your text with hashtags exactly as it appears — copying and pasting beats typing, because one wrong character changes the answer.
- Keep in mind that YouTube allows up to 15 hashtags per video.
- Write for people first and search second — a clear, honest title beats a stuffed one every time.
