What is IQ Hashtags?
IQ Hashtags is a planning and research tool for Instagram accounts. Its central feature is a weekly plan: you describe your business, pick a goal, a start date and a posting rhythm, and the service drafts post ideas with captions, hashtags and suggested dates. Your own JPEG, PNG or WebP photos can be attached to calendar posts, or a single image can be generated with AI, and the whole plan can be downloaded with its images. Hashtag research lets you explore tags around a topic and save sets for reuse. Linking an Instagram Business or Creator account through Instagram's official login adds profile analytics and, on higher plans, audience insights. The tool does not post for you; publishing stays manual. Free utilities such as a caption generator and an engagement calculator sit alongside three paid plans with a 7-day trial.
