How It Works

From video to published — in four steps

1

Paste your YouTube link or upload

Add any YouTube URL or upload the video. Short.now transcribes it to understand the topic.

2

AI suggests hashtags

It generates relevant hashtags from your content — broad, niche, and topic-specific — that match what viewers search.

3

Pick your set

Choose the most relevant hashtags. YouTube shows the first three above your title, so lead with your strongest.

4

Add to your description

Drop the hashtags into your title or description — YouTube links them and groups your video with the topic.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

On-topic, not random

Hashtags are generated from your transcript, so they genuinely describe the video — which is what helps it get grouped correctly.

Broad + niche mix

Includes a mix of high-level and specific hashtags so you reach both wide and targeted audiences.

First-three aware

YouTube surfaces your first three hashtags above the title — Short.now orders them so the strongest lead.

Works for Shorts too

Generate hashtags for both long-form videos and YouTube Shorts, where hashtags help with discovery.
