Do hashtags work on Pinterest?
They matter far less on Pinterest than on Instagram. Pinterest finds and ranks pins mainly by the words in your title, description, board name and the page you link to. Hashtags are a small extra, so:
- Use a few, not many. Two to five relevant hashtags are plenty.
- Put them at the end of the description, never in the title.
- Keep them specific. “#bohobedroom” tells Pinterest more than “#home”.
- Don’t rely on them. A clear, keyword-rich description does most of the work.
Broad, specific and niche tags
| Type | Example | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Broad | #homedecor | One general tag per pin, at most |
| Specific | #bohobedroom | Your main topic |
| Niche | #rentalbedroommakeover | The exact angle of this pin |
The generator gives you all three, so you can mix them.
Better than hashtags: keywords
If you want your pins found, start with keywords. The Pinterest keyword tool shows what people search, and the title generator and description generator turn those keywords into pin text.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pinterest use hashtags?
Yes, but they matter much less than on Instagram. Pinterest still reads hashtags in descriptions, but it ranks pins mainly by the keywords in your title, description, image and board. Use two to five relevant hashtags at the end of the description.
Is the Pinterest hashtag generator free?
Yes, with several free tries a day and no sign-up.
How many hashtags should I use on a pin?
Two to five relevant ones at the end of the description is plenty. More doesn’t help.
Can I use these hashtags on Instagram or TikTok too?
Yes, though those apps rely on hashtags more, so you may want a longer, platform-specific mix there.
Are hashtags the same as Pinterest tags?
Pinterest has used both over the years. Today, keywords in your title and description matter most, and hashtags are an optional extra.
