Broadside builds hashtags from your text plus a curated set of topic tags — entirely in your browser. It doesn't check live trends or platform data, so treat "broad reach" tags as popular by reputation, not a real-time popularity score.

Frequently asked questions
Are these hashtags based on real trending data?
No. Broadside uses a curated set of commonly used tags per topic plus tags built from your own words — it doesn't pull live trend or volume data from any platform. Always sanity-check tags against what's currently active in your niche.
Why do some results look repetitive or generic?
If your text is short or very general, there's less to work with, so more "broad reach" filler tags get used. Adding a few more specific words to your input usually produces more targeted results.
Is my caption or text uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser with plain JavaScript — nothing you type is sent to a server.
Should I use the maximum number of hashtags every time?
Not necessarily — more isn't always better. A smaller set of tags that closely match your content and audience often performs better than the platform's maximum allowed.
