0 pasted · 0 eligible after filters
🔒 Runs entirely in your browser. No login, no access to your account, nothing leaves this page.

How to pick a giveaway winner
Paste your comments
Copy the comments from your Instagram post and paste them in, one per line. Usernames or "username: comment" both work.
Set your rules
Choose how many winners, remove duplicate accounts, require a tagged friend, or keep only comments with your keyword.
Pick — instantly
Hit pick. Every eligible entry is shuffled and winners are drawn at random, right in your browser. Copy and announce.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Instagram comment picker really free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no credit card, and no limit on how many times you can use it. It runs entirely in your browser, so your comment list never leaves your device.
How do I pick a random winner from Instagram comments?
Open your giveaway post, copy the comments, and paste them into the box (one per line). Set how many winners you want, optionally filter by a keyword or require a friend tag, then hit Pick. The tool shuffles all eligible entries and selects winners at random.
Does it need access to my Instagram account?
No. Unlike tools that ask for a post URL and scrape Instagram, this picker never connects to your account or Instagram. You paste the comments yourself and everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Can I remove duplicate entries and require a tagged friend?
Yes. Toggle "Remove duplicate accounts" so each person only enters once, and "Must tag a friend" to keep only comments that mention another @username. You can also keep only comments containing a specific keyword.
How do I automatically DM everyone who entered my giveaway?
That is what UnlockDM does. When someone comments your keyword, UnlockDM sends them a DM automatically on Instagram’s official API — so you can deliver a reward, gate a follow, or announce the winner without copy-pasting anything.
