Technical Specifications & Best Practices
- ✓Instagram permits a hard maximum of 30 hashtags per post; if you include 31 or more, Instagram may publish the photo with a completely blank caption.
- ✓Valid Instagram hashtags can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores (`_`)—spaces, hyphens (`-`), periods, and symbols like `&` or `$` terminate the tag.
- ✓Deduplication is case-insensitive (`#Photography` and `#photography` count as the same tag on Instagram).
- ✓100% client-side text processing with zero data retention.
