What are hashtags?

A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by the hash symbol (#) used on social media platforms to categorize content and make it discoverable. Hashtags help users find posts related to specific topics, trends, or themes. They're widely used on platforms like Instagram, Twitter (X), TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

When creating social media posts, it's common to accumulate duplicate hashtags through copy-pasting, editing, or combining hashtag lists from different sources. Duplicate hashtags don't provide additional value and can make your content look unprofessional or spammy. That's where a hashtag duplicate checker becomes essential for maintaining clean, professional social media content.

  2. Remove Duplicate Hashtags: Identifies all occurrences of each unique hashtag and removes duplicates
  3. Keep First/Last: Decides which occurrence to preserve when duplicates are found
