Free Etsy tag generator: type a product and get 13 tags of 20 characters or fewer, taken from the tags its top-ranking listings use, with the reason behind each one.
Type a product the way a buyer would search for it. The generator reads the listings that rank for that phrase on Etsy, collects the tags they use, and picks the 13 that the most listings, and the best-selling ones, have in common. Each tag fits Etsy's 20-character limit, plurals and reordered copies are merged, and the set is ready to paste.
Every pick shows how many of the top listings use it, and the 30-day sales and views of those listings. You can tell a tag the whole first page agrees on from one a single shop tried, which helps when you only have 13 slots. Sales and views are estimates from Etsy marketplace data; how our numbers work explains how they are measured.
Paste your listing title and any tag whose words already appear in it, in the same order, is left out, so each slot can match a search the title does not. Then check the set in the Etsy tag checker and grade the title with the Etsy title checker.
In a sample of the ten best-selling listings for teacher shirt, taken in October 2026, all ten used the tag teacher shirt, four used teacher gift, and three each used school shirt and back to school. Those lead the list, followed by phrases two listings share, such as elementary teacher and classroom shirt. With a title that already says Back to School, that tag drops out and the next one moves up.
Each search uses one of your daily lookups. Without an account you see the first three tags as a free preview; a free account shows all 13 with the reasons, with 5 lookups a day.
The answer comes in two parts: the 13 tags to copy, and a table that explains each pick.
Drop any tag that does not describe your item honestly: a tag that brings the wrong buyer costs you views without sales. When fewer than 13 tags qualify, fill the slots from the long-tail phrases for the same product.
