Read This Before You Scroll Down to Copy
The sets below are a starting point, not a finished answer. Paste the same list ten thousand other people pasted and you'll get the same result they did: nothing.
Use them as scaffolding instead — cut whatever doesn't match your video, and add what's specific to you: your neighborhood, the venue, the exact product model, your own channel tag.
And verify inside the app every time, because tag popularity shifts constantly. A tag that was strong last year may be dead now, and some are quietly restricted. To check, search the tag; if nothing comes up at all, avoid it.
The Principle: Always Mix Three Tiers
Each category below is split into three groups. Combine them like this.
Food and Restaurants
Full sets with a worked example: food hashtags and cafe hashtags
Tip for this niche: always include the neighborhood or city. People searching for places to eat search by location — it's the highest-performing tag type here and the one most often skipped.
Travel
Full set: travel hashtags
Tip for this niche: people planning trips search by constraints — number of days, budget, who they're going with. Tags naming those constraints reach people actually about to decide.
Beauty and Skincare
Full set: beauty and skincare hashtags
Tip for this niche: tags naming a skin type or skin concern perform unusually well, because people search by their own problem rather than by product name.
Fitness and Health
Full set: fitness hashtags
Tip for this niche: state difficulty level and duration. Those are the two filters people actually use when picking a workout video.
Fashion and Styling
Full set: fashion hashtags
Tech and Gadgets
Full set: tech hashtags
Content Creation
Selling Online
Full set: hashtags for selling products
Caution in this niche: if a video is sponsored, disclose it as the platform requires, and use the commercial music library rather than the general one.

4 Mistakes That Ruin a Hashtag Set
1. Reusing the same set every time. The system reads it as spam and keeps recycling you to one audience. Rotate at least 30% per video.
2. Adding irrelevant tags because they're trending. People click in, it isn't what they wanted, they swipe — and that hurts more than you'd expect.
3. Using only broad tags. You'll sink within minutes.
4. Ignoring local-language tags. If your audience is local, those face far less competition and reach them far better than English ones.
A Faster Route Than Choosing by Hand
These sets work well as scaffolding, but tailoring them per video still eats time.
MaxView AI handles that step — paste a link or upload the file, and it reads the actual video content, then builds a hashtag set covering all three tiers, along with a description and titles.
The advantage is that it notices details you'd forget: gear sitting in frame, the location, a sub-topic you mentioned in passing. Those details are exactly what become your best-performing specific tags.
