Etsy tag checker
Paste your tags below and see instantly which ones Etsy will accept. Checks the 13-tag cap, the 20-character limit (spaces count), duplicates, and punctuation — the four ways tags silently fail.
Written by hand or by a chatbot, tags usually trip one of Etsy's rules. Tagwit writes all 13 straight from your product photo — under 20 characters, no duplicates, validated before you ever see them.

How many tags does Etsy allow per listing?
Exactly 13. Etsy's own guidance is to use all 13 — every empty slot is a search you can't match. Each tag can be up to 20 characters long, including spaces.
Do spaces count toward the 20-character tag limit?
Yes. "handmade ceramic mug" is 20 characters including the two spaces, so it just fits. Anything longer is rejected or silently truncated when listing through the API.
Are multi-word tags better than single words on Etsy?
Usually, yes. Etsy matches whole phrases first, and buyers search in phrases ("ceramic coffee mug", not "ceramic"). Single-word tags mostly duplicate what your title already covers.
Can I use punctuation or symbols in Etsy tags?
No — Etsy rejects most punctuation in tags. Stick to letters, numbers, and spaces. Accented characters from your language are fine.
