How it works

Three steps, no account

Paste your comments

Copy comment names or text from Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or any platform and paste them into the box — one per line.

Select 1 to 10 winners, toggle duplicate removal, and you are ready. No setup, no login, no waiting.

Click Pick Winner

A cryptographically fair random selection picks your winner instantly — entirely in your browser, never sent anywhere.

Why it matters

Run your giveaway with confidence

Whether you run a giveaway on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, or any other platform, your audience expects fairness. A transparent, random selection tool removes any suspicion of bias and shows your community that every comment has an equal chance.

This picker uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's built-in cryptographically secure random number generator — combined with a Fisher-Yates shuffle. The result is a selection that is mathematically unbiased and verifiably fair.

Instagram giveaways

Copy commenter names from your post, paste them one per line, and pick your winner. Share the result as proof of fairness.

YouTube comment draws

Collect comment author names from your video, filter out bots manually, and run the picker for a neutral selection.

TikTok contests

TikTok giveaways are hugely popular. Paste your comment list and pick a winner transparently — no third-party app needed.

Multiple winners

Giving away several prizes? Select up to 10 winners in one draw. Each is picked from a separate position in the shuffled list.

Duplicate protection

The remove-duplicates option ensures that commenters who posted multiple times do not gain an unfair advantage.

100% private

Your comment data never leaves your device. No upload, no server, no storage. Switch off your internet and it still works.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Basics
Is this comment picker free?
Yes. The comment picker is completely free to use with no limits. There is no paid tier, no account required, and no features locked behind a paywall.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no account of any kind. Open the page, paste your comments, and pick a winner immediately.
Are my comments stored or sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser. Comments are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet — the tool works exactly the same offline.
How is the winner selected?
Winners are selected using crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's built-in cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG) — combined with a Fisher-Yates shuffle. This ensures every entry has a mathematically equal chance of winning, with no bias toward any particular position in the list.
Options & usage
Which platforms does it work with?
It works with comments from any platform: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, Threads, and any other source. Since you paste the entries manually, there is no platform restriction whatsoever.
How do I paste comments from Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok?
Manually copy the commenter names or comment text from the platform and paste them into the text area, one entry per line. The tool does not connect to any platform's API — it simply draws from the list you provide.
What does "Remove duplicate names" do?
When enabled, duplicate entries are removed before picking. The comparison is case-insensitive, so "JaneDoe" and "janedoe" count as the same person. This prevents commenters who posted multiple times from having an unfair advantage.
Can I pick multiple winners?
Yes. Use the "Number of winners" selector to choose between 1 and 10 winners. Each winner is drawn from a unique position in the randomly shuffled list — no one can win twice in the same draw.
Can I run the picker again with the same comments?
Yes. Click "Pick Again" to re-run the selection with the same comment list. Each run is fully independent — the previous winner is not excluded automatically, so the same person could win again.
Privacy & technical
Are comments sent to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Comments are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted anywhere. The comment data exists only in your browser's memory while the tab is open — it is gone when you close the page.
What randomisation method is used?
The tool uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's built-in cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG). This is the same standard used by security software and is far more unpredictable than Math.random(). Combined with a Fisher-Yates shuffle, every possible ordering of entries is equally likely.
Why is a random picker fairer than picking manually?
Manual selection introduces unconscious bias — you might be drawn to familiar names, early comments, longer comments, or people you follow. A CSPRNG-based picker gives every entry an equal mathematical probability of winning, which builds trust with your audience and removes any appearance of favouritism.
