Your questions, answered
An Instagram hashtag is a string of characters marked with a hashtag ‘#’ symbol (also called an octothorpe) at the beginning. A hashtag can range from a combination of letters, numbers, words, and phrases. Some examples are #food, #beauty, and #picoftheday. They are used to categorize posts, or make them discoverable when a user browses the posts under those hashtags.
Yes, our Instagram hashtag generator is free to use. Canva Free users have 50 lifetime uses.
While Canva Pro, Canva for Teams, Canva for Nonprofits, or Canva for Education Admin and Teachers have up to 500 Magic Write uses per user per month.
This limit is for each user and refreshes every billing month (not calendar month).
What Instagram hashtags to use on Instagram will depend on your post. If your goal is to increase post popularity and engagement, the best Instagram hashtags to use are the most popular ones, because this means that many people look out for this kind of content. So if you’re making a post under those popular categories, you can use those hashtags to promote your post.
The most popular hashtags change over time, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for what’s currently trending by following updated lists online or using a hashtag finder for Instagram.
The best Instagram hashtag generator should help you make the process of writing well-crafted hashtags as easy as possible. Our free hashtag generator for Instagram generates up to 50 times for free hashtag ideas to help you overcome writer’s block and get to writing right away. It’s free and easy to use—just type your prompt and edit your draft on the same platform.

Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer to this. For now, Canva makes no copyright claim over any output generated with Magic Write. Essentially, you own the output you generate with Magic Write (subject to our terms), and we have the right to host it on our platform and use it for marketing our products. Keep in mind, however, that this does not mean you are the copyright owner of the output or that you have exclusive rights to it.
The following are some things you should consider when creating a hashtag:
- Keep it short and sweet. It’s easier to read and remember.
- Stay relevant. Make sure that your tag is actually related to your post. Avoid using a hashtag that has nothing to do with your content.
- Make it uniquely yours. Become a known online presence by having a branded hashtag that people will associate with you. You can check if your tag is original by using an online hashtag tracker.
You can ensure that you follow all of these by using our free hashtag generator for Instagram, the ultimate writing assistant to help you craft hashtag hits with ease.
Whether you’re creating a new post or editing one you’ve already uploaded, click Write a caption on the post editor, then type ‘#’ followed by your hashtag. When you’re done, click Share, and you’re done! An alternative you can do is to comment the hashtag under an uploaded post.
