Harvested Tags

Pull the hashtags out of your posts

Captions, exported comments and campaign drafts often carry a dozen tags each. Collecting them by hand for research or reuse is tedious. This tool searches the text you paste for anything that starts with a hash sign followed by word characters and returns a de-duplicated list. The search runs in your browser as soon as you press the button.

Using the tool

Paste captions or posts into the large box. Paste reads your clipboard, Sample fills in a short example post with tags such as #tech and #webdev, and Clear resets the text and counters.
Check the Words badge if you want to confirm how much text was pasted.
Press the extract button. A Harvested Tags panel opens and Tags Found shows how many unique tags there are.
Click the copy icon next to a tag to copy just that one, or press Copy All Tags to put the entire list on your clipboard separated by spaces, ready to paste into a new post.

How tags are recognized

A tag is a hash sign followed by letters, digits or underscores, and it ends at the first character that is not one of those. So #web-dev is read as #web, and #well_done stays whole. Each tag is kept once, in the order it first appears, and matching is case-sensitive, meaning #Travel and #travel are listed separately.

When it is useful

Building a list of tags used across your last month of captions to see what you rely on.
Collecting the tags competitors or clients used in a set of posts you copied.
Moving a tag set from one draft to another without retyping.
Cleaning tags out of a block of text so you can rewrite the caption itself.

Limitations and edge cases

The pattern only understands basic Latin word characters. A tag containing accented letters, such as #café, will stop at the accent, and tags in scripts like Arabic, Cyrillic or Chinese will not be captured properly. Anything else that begins with a hash sign is also picked up, including numbered items like #1, color codes such as #ff0000 and URL fragments, so glance through the results. There is no file download on this tool; use Copy All Tags and paste into a document or spreadsheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are hashtags in languages other than English detected?

Only partly. The search recognizes basic Latin letters, digits and underscores after the hash sign. A tag with accented characters is cut short, and tags written entirely in non-Latin scripts are not captured correctly, so check those manually.

Does it list a hashtag that appears many times more than once?

No. Each unique tag appears once, in the order it first showed up. Case differences count as different tags, so #Coding and #coding would both appear, while an exact repeat is removed.

How do I copy all the tags at once?

Press Copy All Tags in the Harvested Tags panel. It places every listed tag on your clipboard separated by single spaces, which is the format most social platforms accept when you paste tags into a caption.

Why did I get results that are not really hashtags?

Any text that begins with a hash sign and continues with word characters is matched, including hex colors like #fff, numbering like #12 and page anchors in links. Remove those from your source text or ignore them in the results.

Why was a hyphenated tag split?

Hyphens are not word characters, so the tag ends at the hyphen. #self-care is returned as #self. Social platforms usually treat the hyphen the same way, since they also stop tags at punctuation.
