How to use hashtags on Pinterest
Pinterest has no hashtag field. Hashtags live inside the pin description, and Pinterest's own pin specs describe the title and the description without mentioning them (help.pinterest.com, November 2026). So the order of work is simple:
- Title first. Put the search phrase at the start of the pin title. Only the first 40 or so characters show in the feed.
- Then the description. Say what the pin is and who it is for in one or two plain sentences, with the same phrase in the first one.
- Hashtags last. Add a handful of specific ones at the end. They count toward the description's length, so they should never push out the sentence that describes the pin.
Hashtags versus keywords
| Where | What goes there | Example for a camping shirt |
|---|---|---|
| Pin title | The search phrase, first | Retro Camping Shirt, Gift for Campers |
| Description | What it is, who it is for, the next step | A retro camping shirt for weekends by the lake. Save it to your gift ideas board. |
| Hashtags | A few specific ones at the end | #retrocampingshirt #campinggift #campinglife |
Need the phrases as plain keywords for the title and description? Use the Pinterest tag generator, or write the whole pin with the Pinterest description generator.
A pin brings the visitor. The niche makes the sale.

Frequently asked questions
Does Pinterest still use hashtags?
You can still type hashtags into a pin description, but Pinterest's own pin specs describe the title and the description and say nothing about hashtags (help.pinterest.com, November 2026). Treat them as optional: a few at the end of the description, after a title and a description that already say what the pin is.
How many hashtags should I add to a pin?
We found no official number on Pinterest's own pages. A handful of specific ones is plenty, which is why the Copy button takes the top eight. Hashtags are part of the description text, so they count toward its character limit and should never push out the sentence that describes the pin.
Where do hashtags go on Pinterest?
In the pin description, usually at the very end. Pinterest has no separate tags or hashtag field, so the title, the description and the board you save to carry the words that describe your pin.
What makes a good Pinterest hashtag?
A specific phrase run together, such as #catmomgift or #retrocampingshirt, not a single broad word like #cat. Broad hashtags are crowded and say little about your pin; a specific one matches what a buyer actually types.
Hashtags or keywords: which matter more on Pinterest?
Keywords. Write the search phrase into the pin title and the first sentence of the description, then add a few hashtags if you like. The Pinterest tag generator gives you the same phrases as plain keywords for the title and description.
Is this Pinterest hashtag generator free?
Completely free, with no account and no sign-up. The hashtags are built in your browser; the niche you type is only used to look up what is selling for it.
