What does the Hashtag Cleaner do and when should I use it?

The Hashtag Cleaner on SocialMediaToolsHub extracts and normalizes hashtags from mixed caption text. It strips punctuation and stray characters, removes duplicates, and returns a tidy block you can paste into Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook. Use it when copying captions from notes, chats, or other apps to ensure hashtags remain valid and compact.

Question 2

Is my text uploaded anywhere or saved on a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The Hashtag Cleaner runs entirely in your browser and does not send your text to external servers by default. Copying or downloading the output is performed locally on your device.

Question 3

How does deduplication work and will it change capitalization?

Accepted Answer

Deduplication is case-insensitive: #Travel and #travel are considered the same and only the first occurrence is kept. Output is normalized to lowercase to avoid accidental duplicates, but you can edit capitalization manually after cleaning.

Question 4

Does the cleaner support Unicode or non-English hashtags?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cleaner preserves common Unicode letters and digits where possible and removes punctuation or symbols that would break a hashtag. For unusual scripts, test a sample tag to confirm platform compatibility.

Question 5

How can I prepare tag groups for platforms that limit hashtags?

Accepted Answer

Use the provided sort options to order tags, then copy the first set (for example, 30 tags for Instagram). SocialMediaToolsHub plans to add an automatic grouping feature, but sorting and manual grouping are quick and reliable now.

Question 6

What should I do if a tag still doesn’t behave on the platform?

Accepted Answer

If a tag does not link or search after pasting, remove non-alphanumeric characters and retry. For tags that are shadowed by the platform, remove them from your set before posting.

Question 7

Which browsers and devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

The Hashtag Cleaner works in modern browsers with standard JavaScript support, including recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile.

Question 8

Where can I get help or report bugs?

Accepted Answer

Report issues via the SocialMediaToolsHub contact page with a short description, a sample input that reproduces the problem, and your browser and device details so the team can investigate.
