TikTok hashtag sizes explained
We sort TikTok hashtags into four sizes by estimated total views. These bands are our own guide, not TikTok’s, and the best mix depends on your niche.
| Size | Estimated total views | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huge | 50B or more | Very broad. Millions of videos compete for the same viewers | Use one at most, to place your video in a big topic |
| Large | 5B to 50B | Popular and still about one topic | A good main tag for your video |
| Medium | 500M to 5B | A clear sub-topic with an active audience | Use one or two to describe what the video is about |
| Niche | Under 500M | A small, focused audience that knows what it wants | Add one to reach the most interested viewers |
Growth matters as much as size: a medium tag that’s up 40% this week can bring more of the right viewers than a huge tag that’s flat.
Frequently asked questions
What is the most used hashtag on TikTok?
Broad tags like #fyp and #foryou are used on more TikTok videos than almost any others, but they say very little about what a video is about. For your own topic, check the trending TikTok hashtags table on this page, which lists the tags gaining the most new videos this week.
What hashtags get the most views on TikTok?
Broad, long-running tags collect the most total views because so many videos use them. A big view count doesn't mean your video will be seen, though. A tag that is growing fast in your niche often brings more of the right viewers. Use the hashtag checker to compare total views with weekly growth.
How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?
There is no fixed rule. Using 3 to 5 relevant hashtags is a common practice: one or two broad tags for your topic plus a few specific ones. Pick tags that describe the video, not just tags that are popular.
Do hashtags still matter on TikTok?
They help, but the video matters more. TikTok also reads your caption, on-screen text and spoken words to understand what a video is about. Hashtags are a quick way to confirm the topic and to join trends, so keep them relevant.
How do you estimate a hashtag's views?
We count public videos that use the hashtag and add up their views. Deleted, private and very old videos can't always be counted, so total views is labelled Estimate. Growth compares new videos in the last 7 days with the 7 days before.
Is the TikTok hashtag checker free?
Yes. You can check 10 hashtags a day for free with no sign-up, including related tags and the top 10 trending TikTok hashtags of the week. For the full trending list and alerts when a tag starts to rise, start a 7-day free trial of Deviantly Trends.
