What is the TikTok hashtag limit?
TikTok currently caps posts at 5 hashtags, following a rollout in 2025. TikTok hasn’t published the cap in its Help Center — creators see it as an in-app warning when they add too many tags — and enforcement has been reported as inconsistent across accounts and app versions. Guides that still say 30 were written before the change.
What happens if you use more than the limit?
TikTok may block the post or ignore hashtags beyond the first 5, depending on the account and app version. Use the checker above to see exactly which hashtags fall past the limit and trim them before you post.
Posting the same clip to Instagram too? Instagram has its own cap — check your caption with the Instagram hashtag limit checker.
Before you post, check the clip itself against the TikTok video length limit and the TikTok safe zone.
