Pasting Comments from Any Social Platform
Because our tool runs entirely in your browser without requiring paid APIs or account credentials, you can use it with any platform:
YouTube Video Comments
In YouTube Studio or on the public video page, select and copy the comment text or export your comment list. Paste into the tool; handles formatted as @username: comment are automatically detected.
Instagram Post Comments
Open Instagram Web in your desktop browser. Scroll down the comments on your contest post, copy the entries, and paste them here. The duplicate filter ensures each follower gets 1 ticket.
TikTok Video Comments
Open TikTok on desktop or use a free comment scraper extension to export entries to a CSV or text list. Paste the raw text directly—the blank line cleaner cleans it automatically.
Reddit Thread Comments
Perfect for community giveaways on subreddits. Copy top-level comment usernames or comments from your thread and exclude AutoModerator using the exclusions box.
Twitter / X Replies
Copy reply handles from your giveaway tweet. Use the “Must Contain Keyword” filter to verify users included your contest hashtag or retweet phrase.
Discord & Classroom Lists
Great for teachers picking classroom helpers or Discord server admins running member raffles. Simply paste member names one per line to draw fair winners.
Best Practices for Running Fair Online Giveaways
Record a Screen Video of the Draw
Record your screen when clicking “Pick Random Winner”. Sharing the video recording on your social feed gives your community 100% confidence that the draw was unbiased and unedited.
Define Clear Rules Upfront
State giveaway deadlines, geographic eligibility, and whether multiple comments are allowed or deduplicated. Clear rules protect you against disputes from disappointed participants.
Always Draw Backup Runners-Up
Often the primary winner does not respond to DMs within the 48-hour claim window. Use the “Pick Next Winner” button to draw 2 or 3 backup winners ahead of time.
Exclude Organizers & Bots
Never risk your own moderator or brand account being drawn accidentally! Always include host handles and known bot spam keywords in the exclusions filter.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Comment Picker
Is this comment picker really 100% free with no limits?
Yes! There are no paywalls, no credits, and no premium subscriptions required. You can paste 10 comments or 10,000 comments and pick as many winners as you need at zero cost.
Why doesn't this tool require my social media password?
Security and privacy! Many third-party apps demand full access to your social media accounts via OAuth or API tokens, creating security risks. By simply pasting the comment text, your accounts remain 100% safe.
How is duplicate spam prevented?
When “Remove Duplicates” is checked, any recurring participant handle is filtered down to a single valid entry. Even if one enthusiastic user comments 50 times, they will only receive one entry in the pool.
What happens when I pick subsequent winners?
Clicking “Remove Current & Pick Next Winner” automatically removes the previous winner from the eligible pool. They will not be picked again, allowing you to draw 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes cleanly.
