Features Instagram Giveaway Picker

If you're planning to host and create an Instagram giveaway, it's important to set clear rules and requirements for participants. For example, you might ask them to leave a comment tagging at least two friends. Our Instagram giveaway tool offers various options to filter comments and users, add bonus entries, or block certain participants. Below, you'll find an overview of its features.

free

Include comment replies

If this option is enabled, replies to comments will be included in the contest entries. By default, only top-level comments are considered, and replies are excluded.

Note: The comment count shown under your Instagram post includes all replies.

free

Filter duplicate users

If this option is enabled, multiple comments from the same user will be filtered out, allowing only one entry per user.

Each user is identified by their unique username, ensuring a fair and equal chance for everyone to win.

premium

Filter comments by mentions / tagged friends

With this option, a single comment must tag a minimum number of users to be included as entry in the raffle, up to a maximum of 10 tags.

Once this filter is selected, you can also choose to remove duplicate comments from the same user that tag the same friends. If enabled, only the first valid comment from each user will count as an entry.

free

Filter comments by text

If you enable this filter, a text field will appear where you can enter a specific word, hashtag, or phrase.

A comment must include this text to qualify for the contest. To filter by multiple words, add each one in a separate field.

free

Filter comments by date or like count

Use the date filter to include only comments posted within a specific time frame. Set a start and end date to ensure only comments made during your giveaway period are counted.

You can also filter comments based on the number of likes. Enter a specific like count and choose whether comments must have exactly that number, more than, or less than. This is a great way to reward the most popular comments or for specific contests, like comment with no likes wins!

free

Add extra entries

If you enable the 'Add extra entries' option, a text area will appear where you can enter usernames for additional entries.

These entries are counted separately from the comments, are not affected by filters, and will be included in the total number of contest entries.

free

Limit number of entries

Use this filter to allow users to gain multiple entries by posting more comments or tagging friends while ensuring no one gets an unfair advantage. Set a maximum number of entries per user to keep the giveaway fair and balanced.

free

Exclude users

Enable the 'Exclude users' option to prevent specific users from winning. A text area will appear where you can list usernames to exclude, with or without the '@' symbol.

This is useful for blocking spam accounts or preventing previous winners from winning again. Be sure to enter the Instagram username, not the person's name. For example, use '@commentpicker' instead of 'Comment Picker'.

premium

Multiple Winners

Pick multiple winners at once for your Instagram giveaway. Free users can select one winner at a time, while Premium users can choose up to 10 winners in one draw.

free

Animations Winner Selection

The Instagram Comment Picker tool is 100% fair to use for all your Instagram giveaways. We are using a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) to select a random winner which can't be manipulated. We don't have any influence on the raffle, so please don't ask us to modify the outcome.

We only use the permissions that you allow to get posts and comments of your Instagram account. Without those permissions, we can't get the data via the official Facebook API. With those permissions we don't have access to publish anything on your behalf.

Currently, our Instagram Comment Picker is able to support Instagram Collab Posts only for users who are the original creators of the post. This is primarily due to the restrictions imposed by the Instagram API, which allows only the creators to access Collab Post and retrieve the comments from it. If you are a collaborator and not the creator, our tool will be unable to fetch comments from Collab Posts.
