What are Facebook’s hashtag rules?
Facebook turns a hashtag into a clickable link, so people can find posts about a topic. Its help page sets a few rules for a tag to work:
| Rule | What Facebook says |
|---|---|
| Format | One word or phrase written together, after #, with no spaces |
| Characters | Letters and numbers; punctuation and special characters such as $ and % break the tag |
| Where they work | Posts on a personal timeline, a Page or a group |
| What a click shows | A feed of posts that use the hashtag, with related hashtags at the top |
| How many | No count set by Facebook; the post itself holds up to 63,206 characters |
How many hashtags should you use on Facebook?
Two or three. Facebook sets no count, and a short set keeps the post easy to read while still linking it to the topics people search and click. Pick the ones a person would actually look for: one broad tag for the subject, one niche tag for the exact topic, and your own branded tag if you run a campaign. Check how a caption reads with the Facebook character counter, and compare every network in the hashtag limits by platform.
How do you use the Facebook Pages hashtag generator?
- Enter your topic. Type the topic, niche or product your Facebook Pages post is about — a word or a short phrase works best.
- Read the categorized suggestions. The generator returns hashtags grouped by category on Facebook Pages instead of one long, undifferentiated list.
- Pick a handful, not the whole list. Choose the tags that most precisely match this specific post rather than pasting in every suggestion at once.
- Check each tag before publishing. Search each tag on Facebook Pages first, since this tool has no live trend or volume data to confirm it.
- Copy and use them. Copy the ones you picked and paste them into your caption, description or first comment.

| Text-only posts | Allowed |
| Links in the text | A pasted URL shows a link-preview card |

Saved hashtag groups keep your regular sets one click away. See the Facebook scheduler, or generate tags for another network with the hashtag generator.
