Features Instagram Giveaway Picker

If you're planning to run an Instagram giveaway as a brand, influencer, or marketeer, it's important to set clear rules for how participants can enter and win. For example, you might ask them to comment and tag two friends. Our Instagram giveaway tool offers useful features to filter comments, users, and entries. You can also add your own branding and more. Below is an overview of all available features.

Entry settings

Customize your entries even more with one of the following features:

Add manual extra bonus entries. Use this feature to manually reward specific users with extra entries. These bonus entries bypass all filters and count towards the total number of entries in the giveaway.

Limit entries per user. Set a maximum number of entries per user to keep the giveaway fair, even if users post multiple comments or tag friends.

Exclude specific users or previous winners. This feature can block spam accounts or preventing previous winners from winning again. Add the username, not the person's name.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can find answers of frequently asked questions about the tool in the list below. Is your specific question not listed? Please send us a message via Facebook or Instagram.

Instagram Comment Picker is free to use for selecting a winner for an Instagram giveaway with up to 200 comments.

Upgrade to Premium to get unlimited comments and access to an ad-free website with extra features and filters, like Multi-post, spinning an Instagram giveaway wheel and add extra entries and mentions.

The Instagram Comment Picker has a limit of 200 comments for free users and offers unlimited comments for Premium users.

The Instagram Giveaway 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.

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.

The Instagram Comment Picker tool needs permissions to get posts and comments of your Instagram account. Our giveaway tool is using the official API from Meta, and without those permissions, we can't get your media and comments on your Instagram account. We don't have permission to publish anything on your behalf. Our app has gone through a review by Meta and has been approved, so your data is safe. We do not store and will not sell any of your data.

We support logging in with Instagram or with your Facebook profile that is admin of the Facebook page that is connected with the Instagram account.
