Hashtags can't contain spaces or punctuation, so those are removed. CamelCase (#VitaminCSerum) is easier to read and for screen readers.

Questions

How many hashtags should I use on Instagram?

Plan for five. In December 2025 Instagram said it would gradually limit captions to five hashtags per post or reel; its Graph API documentation still lists 30.

How many hashtags can a YouTube video have?

YouTube ignores every hashtag on a video that has more than 60, per YouTube Help, and over-tagging can get a video removed from search.

Are hashtags case-sensitive?

No. #SkinCare and #skincare are the same tag, which is why the formatter treats them as duplicates.

Why CamelCase hashtags?

#VitaminCSerum is quicker to read than #vitamincserum, and screen readers can say the separate words.

Can hashtags have spaces or emoji?

Spaces and punctuation end a hashtag, so they're removed. Letters, numbers and underscores are kept.
