What the Hashtag Counter does
The Hashtag Counter tells you exactly how many tags you have, how many are unique, how many characters the block occupies and whether you are over a limit you define.
How it works
Hashtags are matched with a Unicode pattern or, if none are found, rebuilt from a plain list. Counts and character totals are measured directly from your input.
- 1Paste a caption or a tag block.
- 2Set the tag limit for your platform.
- 3Run the counter.
- 4Trim tags if you are over the limit.
- 5Check the character total against your caption budget.
Worked example
A block of thirty-four tags with a limit of thirty reports being four over.
Who uses it
- Checking a caption before publishing
- Fitting tags into a limited description field
- Auditing whether duplicates are inflating your count
- Budgeting characters between caption and tags
Best practices
- Set the limit yourself based on your platform's current rules.
- Deduplicate first — duplicates inflate the count.
- Track characters, not just tag count, for short fields.
- Re-check after any edit.
Honest limitations
Tagzy does not track platform limits for you because they change; you supply the limit and the tool measures against it.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do I set the limit?
- Platform rules change over time. Tagzy will not state a limit it cannot verify.
- Does it count duplicates?
- Both totals are shown — raw count and unique count.
- Can I paste a full caption?
- Yes, hashtags are detected inside surrounding text.
