Hashtag Extractor
Find and extract all hashtags from a block of text.
About the Hashtag Extractor Tool
We created this tool for marketers, researchers, and social media managers who need to quickly find and collect hashtags from a block of text. Manually picking out hashtags from a large post or a collection of comments is time-consuming and inefficient. Our Hashtag Extractor automates this process, instantly pulling all hashtags into a clean, usable list.
To make it the best tool for the job, we included powerful options to clean up your results. You can remove duplicates to see only unique hashtags, force them all to lowercase for consistent data analysis, sort them alphabetically, and format the output as a list or a comma-separated string. The entire process runs securely in your browser, so your text data is never uploaded and remains 100% private.
How to Use the Tool
- Paste your text containing hashtags into the "Input Text" editor on the left.
- The "Extracted Hashtags" will appear on the right, updating in real-time.
- Use the Options to sort, filter, and format your results as needed.
- The count of unique hashtags found is displayed above the output box.
- Use the buttons to copy your list or download it as a `.txt` or `.csv` file.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this tool find hashtags?
Our tool uses a Regular Expression (regex) to scan your text for the `#` symbol followed by a continuous string of letters, numbers, underscores, or hyphens. This pattern matches the standard format for hashtags on most social media platforms.
Why would I need to extract hashtags?
Extracting hashtags is useful for several reasons: analyzing which topics are trending in a set of social media posts, compiling a list of relevant tags for your own marketing content, or cleaning up user-generated text for data analysis.
What characters are considered part of a hashtag?
Our tool follows the common convention where hashtags consist of letters, numbers, underscores (`_`), and hyphens (`-`). Punctuation like periods, commas, or exclamation marks will end the hashtag, so a phrase like `#hello.world` will be extracted as `#hello`.
Does this tool work with different languages?
Yes, the tool will extract hashtags containing letters from any language, as long as they follow the `#` symbol. For example, it will correctly identify different languages.
Is my data private?
Yes. All text processing and hashtag extraction happens directly in your web browser. None of the content you enter is ever sent to our servers, so your data remains completely private and secure.
